Hi everyone,
 
For the next three Sundays the Junior and Senior Youth group will be participating in a workshop on Buddhism. Joe Pakovits is a member of our congregation and considers himself a "BudhUU." He is extremely knowledgable on the history of Buddhism, it's teachings, wisdoms and practices. Each week Joe will speak on the religion, with time for questions and answers, and will then lead some meditation exercises. Joe is super excited to be working with our youth and I know everyone will have fun and learn a lot. Hope to see everyone on Sunday!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Start the new year with a chapel service! This Sunday all ages will gather in church for the first 15 minutes(that will give us a chance to hear Owen perform during the service)  and then will return to Joshi Chapel for an all ages Chapel Service. It was wonderful to have all of you youth at the last Chapel Service in October. The younger children loved having you as "worship buddies."  Hope to see you on Sunday!

Sunday, December 4th

Hey everyone!

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 2nd  7-9pm  Trivets and Coasters (Take 2)
Come to church between 7-9pm and make some trivets and coasters to sell during coffee hour to help fund our activities and trip. They are super fun and easy to make. Last weekend Luan, the Mooney sisters and I made a bunch. We sold a few at the Thanksgiving service and people really liked them! The more of these the better. PLEASE try to come- (here comes the tough love part...) The church does not give us a large amount of money to fund movie nights, and activities, and snacks. We must earn that money ourselves! We have not had a fundraiser yet this year. If you want to have these things for your youth group then you must also be responsible for making them possible!

SUNDAY, DECEMBER 4th  10:30am  Music and Spirituality
Come to the regular regular youth group meeting with some music that speaks to you. Be ready to share why you find it spiritual or moving. After service be ready to sell coffee and trivets and coasters!
