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!

Hi everyone,
This SUnday all youth will attend the service. The guest speaker is Nic Cable, a UU seminarian. I heard he is really wonderful and am looking forward to the service myself!
Acts of Faith: Interreligious Engagement as Spiritual Practice
"Unitarian Universalists are theologically diverse. Every church is unique, every person is unique. How do we understand, value, and participate in interreligious engagement, both as individuals and as a collective faith tradition? In this sermon, drawing from the work of Eboo Patel's book on Acts of Faith, we will begin to unpack these questions. Patel's book is this year's UUA Common Read. It offers us an opportunity to reflect on our origins and identity as a religious people, and consider which direction we would like to head in the 21st century."

Hey everyone,
Thank you so much for your enthusiastic participation in last weeks chapel service. It went really well and I have you to thank!!
This week we will be watching an episode of 30Days on Immigration. Here's the blurb... "Frank George is a member of the Minutmen, a citizens' volunteer group that patrols the country's borders. Like all Minutemen, Frank holds staunch anti-illegal views, as he and his family legally immigrated from Cuba to Miami when he was 7 years old. He will live with a Mexican family of mixed status in a one-bedroom apartment in Los Angeles." Come ready to watch and join in some lively discussion. We will then make an exciting announcement!
Also please add any last minute ideas to our brainstorming sheets. I will be taking them down after SUnday and working with YAC to plan the years calendar!

Hi Everyone,
This Sunday you will attend the first part of church with your family for a special Time For All Ages. Then as high school youth you have two options; you can stay in the service or you can return to the RE Building and join my chapel service. I would like for the senior youth to be "Worship Buddies" for some of the younger children. I suppose a third option would be to stay home, sleep in and catch up on homework- but I really hope you will come. This Time For All Ages is what I see you all helping with as part of your worship componant and the Chapel Service could be run by you as part of your leadership/worship componant (so can being a worship buddy) (Imagine a little peanut wanting to come to church each week because they want to see their big kid worship buddy). Hope to see you on SUnday! Don't forget your Con stuff!!

Hi everyone!
WHAT'S UP THIS WEEK
Great job on the Plant Sale! We made about $500 so far and we have a lot of plants still to sell. This coming Sunday we will have one more go of it. Hopefully we will be able to set up outside on the lawn. We will need all youth to help do that and to stay after church for a while to help customers. Everyone who helps will receive a discount off the cost of the retreat trip. See you Sunday!
RETREAT
There are a few of you that have not responded for the retreat. A $50 deposit is due if you are planning on attending. In the next couple of weeks I will be able to give you a final price(probably around $125) and permission slip. Please let me know either way so I can inform the retreat center of our group and plans. Thanks!!

Hi Everyone!!
PLANT SALE
This Sunday is our Plant Sale! The plan is to set up tables outside on the lawn and fill them with all our home grown veggies, herbs and flowers. The advisors will be buying and bringing some flats of flowers as well. The goal is to make more than $500 to offset the cost of our retreat. Anyone who helps with the sale will receive a discount on the cost of the trip.
Dan will be participating in the Bridging Ceremony during the service so maybe you can take a break and come cheer him on!
ANNUAL MEETING
Sam and Sarah have agreed to babysit during the annual meeting next Sunday, May 22nd. Anyone else? It would be nice to have one or two more youth. Let me know!

Hey Everyone,
We know it is the end of Spring Break and that some of you will be returning from Con- but we will still be here for you! We may do some more planting for the plant sale and have some fun and good conversation. Hope to see you on Sunday!
SOCIAL ACTION OPPORTUNITY
Because the GCFD does not have room for any more volunteers we have joined forces with The West Suburban Community Pantry. It is smaller than GCFD but serves many deserving families. We will have the first go at it on April 9th from 12:30-2:30pm. There is only room for three volunteers this time around. But if we like it we can be on call for special projects, etc. The first three to RSVP to Pam will be allowed to work. We will meet at Pam's house in Woodridge around noon that day and can have pizza at Pam's later if you would like. Let Pam know if you are interested!

Hey everyone!
Would you rather ________ or _________? Join us for youth group this week and play along with us as we decide what we would tolerate. We will also plant a few more micro greens and sell them after the service. See you then!
After the service will be a congregational meeting in which I need to provide child care. Any youth interested in hanging around for an hour or so and playing will be paid for their time! Let me know!
I still need a couple youth to be in my play!! Let me know- it will be fun! No time commitment- no memorizing!

Also, Youth Sunday is quickly approaching- so please be thinking of some themes or things you might like to share duringthe service. Plans are in the works for an evening to plan, more info to come!
Also, I am in need of a couple actors for my All-Community Worship service on January 30th. We are doing a play called Outlawing Jelly Beans and Other injustices. It will be really fun, no need to memorize lines, but I will need you to committ! Let me know, I would like to have a good mix of children, youth, and adults.
See you Sunday!
