4th- 6th Grade Youth Group JAM Events at St. Luke’s 2023-24
Welcome new 4th Graders! Welcome back the rest of you! We thought you might like a schedule of the whole year so you can plan ahead. Please keep this note on the family bulletin board or some place you can find it so you can encourage your child to attend each month. Friends are welcome and you are always welcomed to join your child also! Meetings will be the 1st Wednesday night of the month and will meet at church from 6:30-8pm unless otherwise specified. If your child needs a ride to any activity, please call: Anne Gran 762-2684, Rondi or John Wussow 834-3180, Georgia Nelson 320-760-3455, Stacy Kvilhaug or Dale Witikko. We will give rides or help find someone who can. We are the advisors for the year.
The objective of youth group is to build Christian habits and self-esteem through fellowship, service and faith building activities. We are a Christ-Centered ministry program that will help our youth “rejoice and grow in Jesus’ friendship…” Our name is JAM – Jesus and Me! Our devotions this year will be about PRAYER. Each meeting will focus on different aspects of prayer. We will be talking about the reason and the power of prayer, people to pray for, places we can pray, types of prayer, and the Lord’s Prayer.

November 1 - We will be making our Faith Partner gifts for Christmas. It is very important to be at this meeting when we make the gifts so your child will be able to do the visit between Thanksgiving and Christmas.
