Parent Meeting: January 25th, 6:30-8:30pm in the Youth Room
Please spread the word to other parents you know...Gently remind those who you think might forget, and invite parents who may not even be very involved or involved at all. We will be laying out some exciting new opportunities (from our new youth room to our summer service trip) and the direction we're going with the youth ministry, taking questions, and I'm in need of your wisdom as well. *Please plan to attend and bring a friend!* SNL will still be held upstairs in the gym for the teens.

SUNDAY NIGHT LIVE, THIS SUNDAY: Dodgeball Night!
Send with your teen a black t-shirt, we'll be making t-shirts in prep for the tournament. Even if your teen isn't participating in February, they are welcomed to have fun with us making t-shirts and playing dodgeball this night!

Helping with Kid's Night at Otterbein, Thursdays in January
We have one more Thursday this month to help with Otterbein UMC's Kid Night. Teens who have helped have loved building relationships with inner city kids; having fun making crafts, singing songs and playing games. The time commitment is from 5:45-7:30pm and there's no specific skills needed except for simply giving your time and presence.

Deeper Bible Study
OUR LAST THURSDAY DEEPER IS JAN 29th! We're moving into a different focus on Thursday nights begining Feb 12, called Disciple. Check it out below.

Wednesday Afternoons, 3:45-5:15 This week: Genesis 20-27
We're still plugging away on Wednesdays, and we're drawing a larger crowd than ever before! This is a great way to get your teen involved in studying the Scriptures as we make our way through Genesis. Bring a Bible, pen and notebook.

Youth Band and Dance Ministry
If your teen girl would like to be apart of the next dance, there's always room! Dance practices every Sunday in January from 5-6:30pm. If you want more information, contact Sara Habecker: sara.habecker2@yti.edu

Youth Band is back on for the 25th, 5-6:30pm. They will be leading worship in Souljourn on March 1st! If you would like to get more information, contact Paul Commero: Paul@garmanbuilders.com

Super Bowl Party: Sunday February 1st, 5:45pm to the end of the game
Although the Bears and Eagles won't be playing, I'm sure it will be a fun night of football and food. We're asking teens to bring some sort of food or drink that night to help...Last names A-L, bring a snack such as brownies or chips, Last name M-Z bring a drink. We will most likely pick up some pizza as well.

Dodgeball Tournament: Sunday February 15th at Messiah College
DEADLINE TO SIGN UP: SUNDAY JANUARY 25th!
We're heading back up for our third Dodgeball Tournament with a few differences: 1) We're going back to defend our championship from the past fall. 2) The tournament is once again being held at Messiah College which means 4 large courts to play on and 3) We're going to be kept to a strict 25 person team roster which means we will most likely need to put together 2 teams. We're again looking for drivers and will most likely be sticking to the same time schedule of 11:30am-8pm as a time of worship is held at the end of the tournament.
