Senior LYO Small groups meet: Week of February 2 and 23
Small groups are in full swing! These are great ways
to connect with some awesome small group leaders and some of your friends. It
is just a casual time to hang out and talk about some relevant issues. They
meet at many different times throughout the week, so we can find something that
works for you. Not in a small group, call/text Jordan at (989)600-9801 or email
me at trinitymidlandyouth@gmail.com and we can get you connected!
Confirmation Hang
Time: Thursday Feb. 6, 13, 20, 27
Trinity Teens (middle school kids) come
over to the Youth Center and hang out and play games for an hour before
confirmation. It is a ton of fun and a great way to meet up with some of your
Trinity friends. It will be every Thursday right after school at the Trinity
Youth Center from 3-4. Parents, please
let me know if you would like to volunteer and bring snacks. I need some help.
Also, there is a ride provided to the
youth center from both middle schools for all kids who are interested. Contact
Jordan Palladino if interested.
High School Sunday Morning Gathering: Sunday Mornings, 10 am
Hey high school students. Not sure what to do on Sunday
mornings. Come over to the youth center for a Sunday morning gathering. We will
have a little breakfast, talk about life and have a short bible study. See you
there!
Senior LYO Winter Activity Night: Sunday, Feb, 9
Time to enjoy the winter wonderland that is Midland.
We are meeting at the Youth Center at 6:30 for a fun night of winter activities. Don't worry, we won't be going outside (much). Then we are heading back to the youth center, enjoying some hot
cocoa, and talking about one of the topics that was brought up at the beginning
of the year. Make sure to bring warm clothes. Feel
free to bring a friend as well!
Trinity
Teens Senior Living Service Project: Sunday, Feb. 9th
The middle schoolers are heading out to have a great
day of service in the community. We are heading to a senior living center and
spending time with some of the residents. These are people who are fully
capable of living on their own, they just need a little help. So, we are going
to head over there and spend some time with some awesome people who don’t get
to spend a lot of time with the younger kids. We will do some crafts, play some
games, and even do some basic house work (optional) for those who are
interested. It will be a great time and they will really appreciate it. Punctuality is important. We plan to be at Riverside from 3-5. You have the choice of dropping your teen at the main entrance of 400 E. Main Street (Trinity volunteer will be there to greet) or at the Youth Center by 2:40. We will leave at 2:45!
High School Ski Trip!: Feb. 15-16
We are planning on
having a high school ski trip with Young Life and all Trinity High School
students are welcome! We are heading out on Feb. 15 in the afternoon to head up
to Houghton Lake. There we will do some fun activities, eat dinner and hang out
for the night. Then, on the 16th, we are getting up early and heading to the
peaks at Caberfea for a great day of skiing. We will stay there for most of the
day and then head back toward Midland on Sunday night (there is no school on
Monday, so you don't have to worry about that). Want to join? Give Jordan a $10
down payment to hold you spot. That will help cover transportation, food and
lodging. Does not cover lift ticket, ski rental or food at the peaks.
Cool Kids Game Day: Sunday, Feb. 23rd
Game time! Who wants to play some fun games! The cool
kids are meeting from 3:00-5:00 at the youth center and busting out some fun
games. There will be all sorts of great activities. We will be hanging out for
a few hours and having a short talk by one of our leaders and eating some
snacks. Bring a friend and let’s have some fun!
Middle School Spring Hill Weekend!
Feb. 21-23
I am really excited for all of the
interest with our 2014 Middle School Winter Retreat. Please pray for our 30 Middle School students heading out
to Spring Hill for a great weekend. Our students will experience God in many
different ways, talk and worship together, and have a ton of fun. It will be an
amazing experience and a ton of fun for all who are going! I could also use
help driving kids there and back. Please contact me if you are willing to help.
High School Genesis Retreat! Feb. 28-
Mar. 2
In addition to the middle school
retreat, there is also a great high school winter retreat that is happening. We
are sending 8 high school students 2 college age leaders and 2 other leaders to
the Genesis retreat in Traverse city. Genesis is an
event for Sr. High students, where leaders and students can worship honestly
and grow spiritually. Students will be given an opportunity to lead and serve
in various ways, grow together as a group, and connect with the other youth
that have all converged on The Grand Traverse Resort from around the Great
Lakes Region. It will be an amazing experience for our Trinity students and
leaders. Please pray for safe travels and that God may work in our lives.
