Junior & Senior High

By Paul Rock

we could perhaps do the same here at Newhall Pres.  Stay tune!  Then it was on to our third annual Poetry reading night that we held over at the Java Junction coffeehouse on Lyons.  All the beatniks showed up and brought along their poems, instruments and songs for the pleasure of the latte-drinking crowd.  We ended the month with a solid victory over the old folks in the Turkey bowl (this article is written prior to the 23rd, so this is a prophecy that I am confident will be fulfilled), and the start of a new 6-month confirmation class full of great kids. 
In December, Paul will just try to nap to make up for November and prepare for the new baby, so there will be no youth activities.  Right.  No, we'll be caroling, Christmas partying, delivering packages and the whole wonderful Advent and Christmas deal.  What a great time of year.  Thank you Lord!

In November, the J.Y.G. kids took a look at some unknown, scary and confusing aspects of life and how their faith fits into these areas.  Very good discussions.  In December,  we'll say goodbye to Elliott Kopel who is moving to Texas with her brothers and mom and dad.  Elliott has been a faithful participant and leader in J.Y.G. since she first came.  We'll miss you Elliott!  On the 6th, the J.Y.G. kids, along with Pioneer Club, will host the Advent Dinner.  It will happen in place of the typical Wednesday Night programs.  All families are welcome for a time of singing, eating and doing some fun Christmassy craft together.  The J.Y.G. Christmas party will be on the 13th, and somewhere in there we'll again serve dinner at the SCV homeless shelter.  J.Y.G. will not meet on the 20th or 27th.  Merry Christmas!

College-Lead Worship is Back!

Last year we gave a college-student-lead service a try and it was a marvelous success.  This year we'll attempt to do the same on December 31st at both English services.  If you have a child in college, please let them know and have them give Paul a call as soon as possible.  As for the rest of us, make sure you don't skip that Sunday, you'll love what our young adults will have to share.
