Currently our Fusion Youth Group is a time for 7th through 12th grade students to gather, hear God's Word, discuss life, pray together, and have a good time with other Christian youth students.
For Youth Group, we typically meet on a scheduled Sunday, typically, from 5:00PM to 8:00PM in the Zion Lutheran Church gym. Check our updates below to find out more information about our next meeting.
In addition to our regular monthly meetings, we try to schedule, at least, one special event or activity each month, along with fundraisers, service projects, and other opportunities. More information about when these types of events will be taking place is featured below.
If you haven't visited before, consider joining us for our next adventure!
Our next regular Fusion Youth Group meeting for 7th through 12th grade youth students will take place in July, likely from 5PM to 8PM, at Zion Lutheran Church.
If you are considering joining us for the fun, consider bringing a friend along as well! A meal will be served, and no money is needed for these meetings.
COFFEE: The Zion Fusion Youth Group will continue to manage the coffee fellowship time as an ongoing fundraiser following both services on Sunday mornings.
LCMS YOUTH GATHERING MEETING: Our next meeting for those attending the LCMS Youth Gathering taking place in New Orleans this summer will take place next Sunday, June 22nd, beginning at 5PM in the Zion fellowship hall. This meeting will be for Adult Leaders and students, and because this will be one of the last meetings before the trip takes place, attendance is strongly recommended. Also, if you are still working to complete paperwork, please plan to return all of these forms, completed, by this meeting, as well. For more information about this process, and any other needed information, please contact Derek Jareske as soon as possible. Food will be provided for anyone who wishes to eat during this meeting.
ALUMINUM CAN COLLECTION: For those registered to attend, our next planning meeting will take place in the church fellowship hall today, February 23rd, beginning at 5:00PM. We will be discussing our plans for our extra time while in New Orleans, so if you would like to have an opinion on this subject, I would highly recommend attending this meeting. Pizza will be served for those who wish to eat.
YOUTH FUNDRAISER: The youth students attending the LCMS Youth Gathering will be hosting a fundraiser to take place on Sunday, June 29th, from 1PM to 4PM at Zion Lutheran Church. For the purposes of this fundraiser, individuals can nominate someone from the community to be arrested for $50, and then the youth students will serve the warrants to let those nominated people know they have been nominated for arrest in the lead up to our fundraiser date. Those people can then either report to Zion Lutheran Church or “be arrested” between 1PM and 4PM on June 29th. Arrested individuals must then work to "raise their bail amount” while they wait to be let go. Individuals can nominate someone for arrest by stopping by the church during regular business hours or by contacting Derek Jareske by phone (402-385-8381) or by email (dcejareske@zionlutheranpierce.com), and funds can be brought to the church Monday through Thursday between 9AM and 4PM. All funds raised will go to support the youth students as they work to fundraise for their various events, activities, and initiatives.
YOUTH EVENT: Vicar and Mr. J are currently planning to take a group to the Wild Water West water park in Sioux Falls, SD on Tuesday, June 24th, barring a weather cancellation. Prospective 7th - 12th graders will need to bring at least $30 (for food and $10 to assist with costs), a church appropriate swimsuit (in addition to street clothes to be worn before and after swimming), a towel, sunscreen, and any other necessities. Because the group will plan to leave by 11AM, everyone should meet at the church by 10:30AM with either a sack lunch or additional funds to eat lunch at the water park. After swimming, the group will eat in Sioux Falls before returning to the church by about 9:30PM.
Any interested youth must have a parent/guardian fill out the online RSVP on this website by Friday, June 20th, at the absolute latest, so Mr. J can organize tickets and find extra chaperones, if needed. Youth must provide a completed permission paper by the event date to attend, but if they have already attended another youth activity during this year, Mr. J should already have a permission slip on file.
Parents, if you would be interested in driving/chaperoning for this trip, please contact Mr. J through email (dcejareske@zionlutheranpierce.com) or phone (402-329-4313) as soon as possible.
