maiden's cliff

Here is a view of Maiden's cliff in the fall...it'll be a "high" point for the youth group! LOL

We're meeting on Sunday the 18th! Not Monday the 19th!!!!

At our last meeting we talked about meeting this Sunday after church instead of Monday night. This is the plan at this time…Everyone is invited to come to the 10:30 worship service and sit together (or with your parents if you want). After the service we’ll head to the parsonage (our home) for Pizza (cheese and Pepperoni are easiest) and then do one of two things.

The first choice is to follow John Lewis to Camden and go Geo-caching on Maiden’s cliff. It’ll be great! We will do this if there is no wet weather (right now that’s not looking too good). You’ll need to dress very, very warmly (fleece is always good for absorbing sweat) and be ready to be outside for a couple of hours. The hike will definitely keep us warm as we search for our treasure!! We’ll be back around 3pm.

If the weather is bad (wet), then we’ll stay at the parsonage and watch a good movie (which one will it be???) with some conversation afterward. We’ll also be done by 3pm.

Here is what we need!
1) I’ve attached two permission slips. You only have to fill out one but the other is in case you are going to bring a friend. Please bring it to church with you on Sunday. Without a signed slip, you will not be able to go (church policy).
2) You’ll need to let us know by email or phone how many of you are coming. If you call the house simply leave a message if we’re not there.
3) Adults to drive and walk if we go to Camden. Our Safe Sanctuary policy requires two unrelated adults per car to carry the youth to our destination. The Lewis family is bringing their vehicle, we’ve got one as well but we’ll need more. It’ll be a great time!!! If we stay at the parsonage, adults are welcome to stay or enjoy the afternoon to themselves. If you can help, please call the parsonage and let us know.
4) Positive attitudes if we hike because it’ll be a little cool and uphill. Such attitudes make the journey better for all involved.

We’ll wait to hear from all of you. Remember to let us know if you are coming (either by email or phone).

It's September 21st and it's time to meet again!!

Tonight is the first night of youth group for the year! We are meeting in the Cave at 6:30 and we'll be done by 8pm. We are a group of youth from 6th - 12th grade who get together for fun, fellowship, and seeking to find how God fits into our daily lives! You are welcome to bring a friend!! We'll see you there!!

23 Mill Lane Belfast, Maine!

Next meeting is February 16, 2009 at 6:30pm

We'll meet and stay at the cave...it'll be a great time...you'll LOVE it....

Fire and Ice!!!!

On Monday the 19th we had a great time with 8 youth and 6 adults! We want to thank Tim Dutch for creating a wonderful fire and all the folks who gave us their Christmas trees that sizzled and flamed bright in the fire! He even created an easy path for us to use to get over to the burn pile!

After reading about how Moses encountered God in a burning bush, for our lessons, we settled in for s'mores!!!! We have a few great s'more cooks and some who are very creative when it comes to cookin' marshmallows!!

After the snack the snow began to fly! I wish it was coming from the sky, but that would be a lie. It came from the east, west, north, and south, some of it hitting my coat and I even caught some it in my mouth! It came in snowballs and loose chunks, and fell in soft tumbles and heavy ker-plunks. It flew from the wild and the mild, from the boys and girls, from those with straight hair and those with curls! If snow on the head is a way to know how much one is loved, Pastor Dave ranks #1 in this group...rumor has it his hair froze when we got back to the church and shoveled out the food cupboard area.

It was a great time despite the cold because of the warmth of the group! It is certainly a special group!

Next meeting is Sunday January 25th....

We are going to meet right after church in the cave where we'll plan for lunch and then head off bowling! It should be a great time. Make sure to have your permission slips. It'll be a ball! We should be back by 3:30pm. The theme of the day is "How is a bowling alley like real life and where does God fit into it all?"

Meeting on Sunday January 25th right after church

Hello everyone, we're off for another adventure on Sunday the 25th right after church! We are going to eat at the church and then head out for some fun. We should be back around 3:30. We need to know how many are going as we've got some limited space (we can take 14 with adults included). Don't worry, we'll make sure there is room!!!! We will have permission slips to be signed so let's see about getting them on the 19th! It's gonna be a great time.

Meeting on Monday January 19th at 6pm

We are going on a mystery trip on the 19th. We will meet at the church, have your parents fill out permission slips, and then be on our way. Please remember to dress warm as we will be spending some time outside. We will be back at the church by 8pm (normal time). If you've got questions, call the church or the house (338-2882).

It's show time!

Just a reminder that all members of the cast for "No Room at the Holyday Inn" should be at the church on Sunday by 7:30am. We'll talk and make sure that things are in place as needed. Bring your scripts and any accessories. We'll be sharing the message at both services. The second service should be done by about 11:45am. If you've got questions, please call... It's going to be a great time!

Pizza and Play Practice on the 8th

Our next meeting is at 6:00pm (notice the time change!) at the church for supper and play practice. We'll be done by 8pm. It'll be a chance to work on our lines, some scenery, and just have a great time hanging out!! Call if you've got questions. Our next meeting is December 15 at 6:30pm. We'll be sharing "No Room at the Holy Day Inn" at both services on December 21st!!! Y'all come now, ya heah!
