Hey everyone, we are going to have a special Youth Group “New Years Day party”, on Sunday January 1. It’ll be from 3-6pm at Tom and Judy Hinds’ house!
One of our breakfast teens, Sierra White, is wanting to get baptized that day. Lexie and I have been having Bible studies with her. She wants to do it on that day so she can have a “new year and a new me”.
As I was discussing this with Judy Hinds, she decided she would like to host a special party that day for ALL of the teens who were baptized in 2011. We’re also inviting their parents to join us. We think it’d be cool to honor those teens and also give their parents a chance to visit with the rest of the parents whose teens were baptized this year.
So the plan is for everyone meet at the Hinds house at 3:00pm.
Their address is: 12350 SW 124th Ave, Tigard, OR.
Sierra will get bapized and then we’ll have the celebration. In addition to eating, visiting, singing and playing I also want us to break into our Small Groups for around 45 minutes. Tom and Judy are going to meet with any parents during that time, encouraging them and praying with them.
We should be done by 6:00pm. If the parents can’t stay for the whole thing, that’s okay; we’re encouraging them to come at the beginning as we honor their teens who were baptized this year.
Spread the word about January 1st to any other teens you see! As many of you who can be there (both teens and adults who work with teens), the better!
thanks,
Jeff Grow
