Trinity Newsletter - May 2018
The Senior Youth continue to meet the first Sunday of the month from 11 am to 1 pm. The Middle School Youth meet the third Sunday of the month from 11 am to 1 pm. Both groups are continuing their study of The Reverend Doctor John W. Sias’ two session study on Martin Luther’s “A Simple Way to Pray: For Peter, the Master Barber.” We have studied how we can boldly pray to our Father in heaven and that prayer is rooted in justification, in forgiveness of sins, and in our adoption as sons, in Christ. We have finished the first section of the study and are going over the review questions before continuing.
The youth also continue to cook breakfast the second Sunday of the month as a fundraiser.
We had a combined Senior and Middle School Youth meeting the third Sunday in April. The Senior Youth did not meet the first Sunday in April because that was Easter. An email survey showed most of the youth agreed to try a combined meeting. We started the meeting with prayer then played a great game of kickball. Emily brought her soccer ball to the meeting and the youth voted to use her soccer ball instead of our beach ball. Using the soccer ball certainly made the game more challenging and fun. The score remained close until the bottom of the last inning. We then ate a nice lunch provided by Jennifer, Lisa, and Cary. Lunch was followed by our continuing study of “A Simple Way To Pray.” The youth were paired-up in teams and each team composed a prayer based on one of the petitions in the Lord’s Prayer. We then closed with the Lord’s Prayer.
All the above has not been possible without the wonderful participation of the parents, guardians, and adult volunteers who have supervised the monthly youth breakfast Sundays, provided snacks for the youth meetings, and attended the monthly youth meetings. The next LCMS Youth Gathering is 11-15 July 2019, in Minneapolis. The theme is “Real. Present. God.” The theme is rooted in Psalm 46. The Youth Gathering registration process begins in September 2018. For more information about the Gathering visit lcmsgathering.com.
