Youth Group:  Each week the Youth Center and Gym will be open and teens are welcome to come and bring their friends. Friends do not have to attend Fellowship Church--everyone is welcome. A meal will be provided from 6 to 6:30 and we are asking for donations of $2. Youth are encouraged to bring their families for the meal, as there will be a variety of activities offered for all ages after the meal. During Youth Group, we meet for energetic games, service projects, Bible study, small group discussions, movie nights, and outreach opportunities. We do travel off site occassionally, and transportation is provided by volunteer parents and Youth Group leaders. Youth Sunday!  Our youth will be leading all three services on Sunday, March 7.    BELIEVE!  Parents:Your middle schooler should have given you a yellow sheet describing the BELIEVE tour coming to DeVos Field house on Friday, April 23 and Saturday, April 24.  This is an AMAZING opportunity for Middle Schoolers to rock out, see some really cool stunt acts, and exert some of their own energy--all with the focus on JESUS!  We would love to have a large group go with us!  Cost is $25.  You can check it out at www.ciy.com/believe.  We need youth to prepay, so please send a check in to Youth Group with your child!    Middle School YG Schedule:   FEB   3: Hidden Talents 10: Sharing the Love 17: NO YG ASH WEDNESDAY  24:  Winter Olympics Outdoor Obstacle Course Night   MARCH  3: Youth Led Worship Service Prep Night                 10: Game Night/Pillow Fight Night 17: Laser Tag at Lost City--$10 24: Outreach Night 31: Seder Meal/Family Night   APRIL    7: NO YG--SPRING BREAK  14:  Worship Centers  21: Charades Night  28: Luau Dance Party

Middle School on the web!  Join our facebook group or check out our blog (http://fellowshipmiddleschoolyouth.blogspot.com)!  There are pictures posted from the past year and it will be updated througout the summer with other pictures of our activities!  It's also a great way to give some feedback on Youth Ministries! Parents and Young Adults:  Aaron and Leslie are looking for people who are willing to commit and mentor  students for the next school year.  Our goal is to have at least one mentor and prayer partner for every student who wants to be mentored.  Every child should have at least five trusted adults that they can share their questions, concerns, victories, and failures with.  Won't you prayerfully consider being a mentor?  We're praying for you! Parents:  Aaron and Leslie have lots of new resources on teen culture and parenting that are available for your use.  Please let us know if you are interested!!   Sunday School: For 6th and 7th grade, we will be studying a variety of topics ranging from World Wide Communion to how God's stories relate and help us shape our own Life Story. 8th graders will be reading and discussing The Purpose Driven Life. Confirmation Class will now be offered to 9th grade and older. Everyone will start Sunday mornings in Worship. Teens will sit together, so if you don't want to sit with your parents first, come and find us! During the first 30 minutes of worship, teens will also have opportunities to serve. We will have rotating lists of ways to serve and will assign or have youth sign up for those. Those include: greeting, ushering, sound booth techs, praise team, setting up or serving communion, and welcome center to name a few!
