Sr High Youth Group

St. John’s high school youth group is open to all 9-12 graders, and is an intentional, faith-filled, serving, and fun group of students growing in their faith in Jesus Christ. We meet every Sunday at 7:00 pm during the school year to talk about life and faith, play games, eat food, study the Bible, and do various service projects for our community.

 

In the fall, the youth can attend LYO (Lutheran Youth Organization). The WND Lutheran Youth Organization includes each and every high school student in congregations across our synod.  Each fall, hundreds of young people from our congregations come together for the annual LYO Gathering - three days focused on growing and sharing our faith, serving the world in Christ’s name, engaging in dynamic worship, and building relationships.

 

Whether you are a member of St John or not, everyone is invited to come and see what we are all about! If you are interested in knowing more about the Youth Group at St John, email Pastor Joe at .

 

 

                    

 

Mission Trips

       ~ 2018 MISSION TRIP - PUERTO RICO ~

                        July 27 - August 5

 

 

 

Puerto Rico has been devastated and is still dealing with the destruction of Hurricane Maria. This location was a must-serve for our group. Some of our service while there will include rebuilding, caring for people/children in hospitals and orphanages, and serving anywhere else that there is a need. The great news is: St. John isn’t fully in charge of planning this large trip! We will be partnering with Praying Pelican to use their expertise, experience, and excitement when serving Puerto Rico. You can see all of their information and see some of the things we’ll be doing at www.prayingpelican.org. 

 

Because we are flying to this year’s mission trip, the cost has gone up. We will be doing more fundraisers than ever before, and we will really need help from everyone in the congregation. We have 40 youth and 5 adults serving Puerto Rico, but we want to be sure everyone is involved in our mission. Listed below are our upcoming fundraisers. There will also be chances in offering to donate, and we will graciously accept any donations given. Thank you so much for continually supporting the Youth Mission Trip!

January 21st – February 4th – Coffee Fundraiser

February 4th – Annual Meeting Breakfast (free will donation)

February 14th – March 29th – Lenten Meals (free will donation)

February 11th, 14th, and 17th – Valentines Babysitter

All of March - Bake Sales

Any many more to come!

 

 

Thank you, THANK YOU, to the entire congregation and the families of these youth group students. These trips happen because of your support.
