At 4th/5th grade youth group, you’ll be sure to see Carrie Shorthouse!
Carrie looks forward to meeting new kids & the games at 4th/5th grade youth group!
Here’s a fun story from Carrie: When I was a teacher in Cambodia, my students made me try their favorite snack – crickets! I really didn’t want to but they pulled the legs off one (those stick in your teeth) and I ate it. One was enough for me!
Thanks so Carrie (and all our other wonderful leaders) for serving youth so well!
High School and middle schoolers are invited to a night of worshipping God through singing on Tuesday, November 7th from 7-8pm! We will have your favorite songs and some new ones as we worship while sitting on cozy couches in the Student Center.
High School Nerf war in the church building! We will have food from Chipotle and then an all-out nerf war! Bring your Nerf gun if you have one, but if not, we will have one you can use. This is a free event; please register so we know how much food to buy!
Middle School youth group is going on a field trip! Instead of normal youth group on Monday, October 23rd from 6-8pm we will spend the evening at Trampoline Zone! Bring $10/person. No need to register, just come to Trampoline Zone! This is a great event to bring a friend!
Parents, please drop your child off at Trampoline Zone (63040 NE 18th St, Bend, OR 97701) at 6pm and pick them up at 8pm on Oct 23rd. If you have not recently filled out a waiver, you can do that ahead of time at tzbend.com or when you drop them off. Please send your child with $10 or come in with them to pay. This will cover jump time, socks and pizza! The snack bar will be open, so if they’d like additional treats or drinks, they can bring more spending money.
We are going to create more art pieces to hang in our room! After the 10:30 gathering, we will have a quick lunch in the 4th/5th grade room and then create our new art together! Parents, you can plan to pick up your child at 1:30pm. This event is free and there is no need to register.
