Our Wednesday Night Youth Group is underway and welcomes newcomers. Millie Harris is always looking for new programs and new curriculum to use during youth group time! This year we started two separate programs for our young people.
Middle School Youth - which meets from 5:30-6:30 is pursuing a curriculum called RITE 13. This is a curriculum designed to be sort of a rite of passage for young people. The curriculum is based on 2 years of exploration of faith, friends, and individuality. We will be combining Rite 2 curriculum in our normal "sharing of life events" during youth group time. At the end of the 2 years of Rite 13, our young people will be celebrated with a special service.
High School Youth - which meets from 7:00-8:00 p.m. is implementing aspects of the Youth and Family Institute Peer Ministry Training program. This program focuses on ways to meet and interact with new people, developing active listening skills, and conflict resolution and mediation.
Please remember that everyone is welcomed for dinner on Wednesday night! The dinner cost is $7.00 per person and reservations are requested.There is a healing service starting at 6:00 pm. Dinner is served at 6:30 pm and adult education starts at 7:00 p.m. Home Work Club is available for any middle school youth whose parents wish to stay for the evening's WOW program.
Anyone interested in keeping up with our youth group should contact Millie Harris.You can also check out pictures of the youth group activities on Shutterfly. Pictures are added as events occur. Here's the Shutterfly website link (password: grace):

During
Summer Servants we had the opportunity to spend Thursday evening
serving dinner at Pinellas Hope. There is so much work that needs to be
done to help up keep the tent city. Things from serving meals to
sorting clothes, to painting benches, to building platforms and
temporary shelters. While the mission team from Delaware was here they worked at
Pinellas Hope. The organization was so excited to have some helping
hands they asked if we could come once a month to volunteer! There are so many wonderful ways you can volunteer through St.
Margaret. We have a group that goes to Habitat for Humanity the first
Saturday of every month and now we will have the opportunity to go
together to Pinellas Hope the second Saturday of every month. The age
requirement for Pinellas Hope is 11 years. Please look for sign up sheets for car pooling! We began on
September 12th going out to do whatever work needed to be done! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the church ofice at 925-2525.
