Zion Lutheran Church's Youth and Children's Ministry

Our next Fusion Youth Group meeting for 7th through 12th grade students will take place on Sunday, December 11th, at Vicar Brockman's house from 3:00PM to 6:00PM. 

POTLUCK: This will be our annual Christmas party meeting, and to help with this, we are asking that all participating youth plan to contribute a food item to the potluck meal that will be taking place that evening. For those interested in participating in this way, please speak with Mr. J or click the button below for a way to sign-up to bring a food item to help with this meeting. 

WHITE ELEPHANT: We will also be hosting a White Elephant gift exchange for those who wish to participate. As always, this part of the meeting is completely optional, and no one has to buy/bring a gift if they do not wish to participate. For those who do wish to participate, gifts should be church appropriate, kind, and no more than $20, if purchased. Homemade gifts are also welcome, but please keep allergies in mind when it comes to baked goods. 

COFFEE: The Zion Fusion Youth Group will continue to manage the coffee fellowship time as an ongoing fundraiser following both services on Sunday mornings. 

COOKIES: We are proud to announce that the Fusion Youth Group will be taking over the Christmas Cookie and Candy Fundraiser that has been done by other groups in the past. As before, we will be taking pre-orders for cookies and candy over the next month, and then in the month of December, we will have these items available for pickup before friends and family visit on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day! For more information about how this can be completed, please check the flyer on the church homepage. 

CARDS: The youth will be, once again, selling Christmas cards in the church narthex following both services on the four Sunday mornings in Advent. Just like with our coffee fundraiser, if we could have a few youth students available to assist with this endeavor, that would be appreciated. 

ADVENT MEAL: The youth group will be hosting and managing the midweek Advent meal on Wednesday, December 14th, from 6:00PM to 7:00PM in the Zion kitchen/gym. We are asking ten youth families to bring a crockpot of soup and five youth families to bring a pan of bars. Youth and families should plan to arrive by 5:30PM to assist with set up. To sign up to bring a requested item, please click the button below. 

COOKIES: If youth could plan to stay an hour after school on Friday, December 16th, to help assemble plates and platters for cookies and candy, that would be appreciated. We will be meeting in the Zion kitchen. 

We will be distributing orders on Sunday, December 18th, following each services, including the Children's Christmas service, so if any youth would be available to help at various times on this date, that would be most appreciated. Orders will be available in the church narthex. 

CAROLING: The youth group is planning to, once again, go Christmas caroling to many of our housebound congregation members on Sunday, December 11th, from 2:00PM to 3:00PM, with a brief time for snacks and fellowship to follow. If any congregation members would like to join us for this event, please free to let Mr. J know, so we can work to organize plans. We will plan to meet in the church fellowship hall at 1:30PM to prepare to depart in groups. 

Look forward to more exciting opportunities to get our youth students involved in the next few weeks! 

Nothing new to report at this time.
