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 .

2016 MYSTERY MISSION TRIP ~ Portland, Oregon

 "Fearfully and wonderfully made" ~ Ps 139:14

 

On July 30th, 27 youth and 5 adults loaded onto a bus and embarked on a journey they'll never

forget. They did not know their destination and they did not know what they would be doing when they arrived. All they knew is that God was calling them to serve and to grow in their faith together. 

 

This year's theme verse for the trip was "fearfully and wonderfully made" (Ps 139:14). With the help of a local ELCA mission developer, the youth experienced the uniqueness of God's creation through service. They also learned what it means when we tell them that God created each one of them uniquely in God's image.

 
It was a joyful experience in so many ways and I’m sure the youth would be glad to tell you all about it. Thank you again for your continued support so we can take the youth out to experience these different areas and people. We are truly blessed to be a part of this congregation.
