Fusion Youth Group

Faith, Fellowship, and Fun. Consider Joining Us For Our Next Meeting!

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 4:00PM to 6:00PM 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!

Youth Group updates

Next Meeting

Our next regular Fusion Youth Group meeting for 7th through 12th grade students will take place at Zion Lutheran Church on June 11th from 5PM to 8PM in the Zion gym/fellowship hall.

New OPPORTUNITIES

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


YOUTH EVENT: We are currently planning an event for youth toward the end of June, but as we are still in the early planning stages, dates and locations are still being organized. Check back for more information in the near future!


YOUTH FUNDRAISER: We are currently planning a youth fundraiser toward the end of June, likely a bake sale, but as we are still in the early planning stages for this event, dates and locations are still being organized. Check back for more information in the near future!


In the meantime, if you would like to assist with this endeavor, either by baking or volunteering to help, please speak to Mr. Jareske or Vicar Brockman in the near future.

News and Updates

  • With the summer months here at last, the planning for this event, Hands for Christ, is well underway to once again provide this weekend long event for 8th through 12th grade students and adult volunteers aimed at service and community enrichment. This event will take place over the weekend of June 16th-17th at various times and locations with several activities, meals, and service opportunities incorporated within. Please check the specific details for this event against what you received at the time of registration. If you have not yet had a chance to register, please plan to speak to Mr. Jareske as soon as possible. Otherwise, if you have any questions at this point, feel free to direct those to Mr. Jareske. Zion Lutheran Church is blessed to have several congregation members on the planning committee for this endeavor, so if Mr. Jareske is unable to provide an answer, he will certainly be able to work with someone who can.


  • As part of the overall weekend, Hands for Christ will be hosting a free admission event on Friday, June 16th, with a weekend kick-off speaker at the Pierce High School gym (201 N Sunset St., Pierce, NE). The doors open at 6:30PM, and the event will take place beginning at 7:00PM.     


  • Thank you to all who came out to the Pizza Ranch fundraiser for the Camp Luther trip. It was wonderful to see so many Zion families and youth supporting the trip. We are grateful for your generosity.


  • Thank you to everyone, especially our amazing leaders and chaperones, who worked so hard to make our Camp Luther retreat possible. Parents who had students associated with this event in some way, please let us know how you felt this trip went, so we can continue to plan trips of this type in the future. This type of feedback also helps to deepen the experience of our Vicar as he seeks to plan new types of events in his future ministry.  


  • If any high school students, especially juniors and seniors, would be interested in taking a group college visit to Concordia University Nebraska (CUNE) in Seward during this next year, please speak to Mr. Jareske in the near future to receive information about visit costs and waivers. CUNE is one of the universities in the LCMS university system, and they have a variety of programs of study, including several opportunities for those considering church work.
