ORUCC Youth 1/14/24
Hello friends,
I write this to you as I recuperate from COVID, unfortunately. We have cancelled the All Church retreat this weekend due to illness (key Daycholah center staff also have Covid!) and the potential for hazardous weather on Friday. We are happy to be able to reschedule the retreat for April 12-14.
However, we had not planned for any Children or Youth programming this Sunday due to the retreat. Instead, all youth are encouraged to attend worship at 10:00 on Sunday.
Some things coming up:
- January 21, 12:00-2:00: Interfaith GSA planning/exploring session at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church (5701 Raymond Rd). If any youth are interested in being part of planning this, please come along! Lunch will be provided; they would like an RSVP by Jan. 15 so please let me know soon if you want to attend.
- January 28: All Church Chili Cook-off! Mark your calendars for this event.
- February 11 Faith in Action Brunch: This brunch, held after worship, will be an intergenerational fellowship opportunity centered around conversation about what it means to have “faith in action.” CWS has decided that all proceeds from this brunch will go towards the Youth Service Trip! I will be sending more info directly to Service Trip families about this opportunity.
Stay safe and warm!
Grace and peace,
Kate
