YouthTimes and PlacesThe LOL Youth meet once a week downstairs in the Youth Room during the summer schedule:
Wednesdays 6:30-7:30
Youth Group First, I’d like to introduce myself as the acting interim Youth Director at Lord of Life. I’m excited to work with the youth, and I am enjoying our activities so far. I’d like to thank the youth board, our youth sponsors: Dana Hackett-Wehrspann, Tonia Ricke, and Sonja Von Hollen, and Pastor John for all their help and support. If you have an interest in the youth and would like to participate, please contact Pastor John, Rod Wiese, Roger Klosterman, Dana, Tonia, Sonja, or the Church office.
We’ve been active in Bible studies each Sunday during the education hour. We’ve been studying the gospels appointed for each Sunday. We’ve had great discussions about what it must have been like to be a disciple during the time of the resurrection and the fear that must have been present when Jesus revealed himself alive to them. Wednesdays have been a mixture of talking and getting to know each other, Frisbee, and a Pizza making extravaganza. Thanks to everyone who brought ingredients and pizza making expertise. We had a cheese blend, pepperoni, garden veggie, and the works pizzas.
Future planning is underway for summer activities including bowling, camping, canoeing, and possibly a retreat at Ewalu. We are also planning for next year by getting our calendar filled in for the weekly and major events. Also, I am updating our lists of students, parents, and all the contact info that goes with them.
Calendar notes: There will be no youth Sunday school during the summer schedule, but we will still meet Wednesdays at 6:30 pm.
Peace to you, Rod Wiese 563-580-4854 This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
On February 20th the High School youth converged on Lord of Life in order to starve. The youth voluntarily deprived their bodies of nutrition for 30 hours as part of World Vision’s 30 Hour Famine, a worldwide effort to raise awareness and aid for the millions who go to sleep hungry every night. The evening was filled with service projects, devotions, prayer, and of course a little shenanigans. This year for the first time World Vision has made it possible to designate where each group would like their funds to go, and this year in memory of Ben Larson the LOL youth will be sending their funds to help those in Haiti. For more information on the famine, click the link above, or ask one of our high schoolers! |
