Stillnaz Youth Update 01.07.25

Stillmeadow Families,

Happy New Year! I am praying for each of our families in this New Year that our eyes would be open to the work of God in each of our lives and that we would partner with Him in this work. As some of you know we typically cancel evening activities when Central School District is closed; however, Ignite is on for tonight!! Since the road conditions are clear and the closing was geared toward rural areas, we will leave the decision up to you and your roads! I am really excited about coming back together after our break apart!

Tonight, we will kick off our Bible in a Year series! Every week we will preach from the scripture in the reading plan for that week. We encourage all of you to read along! Here is the youth link if you haven't joined already!

This year we will be our year of outreach/invitation! We will concentrate on sharing stories about inviting people into the presence of God. Last year, we celebrated our relationships with God and one another and this year we will look outside of our walls as a focus! We will have service Tuesdays four times a year and we will participate with York Helping Hands four times a year! The first is January 25th from 11-1pm, details are below! We will continue our partnership with SAGE, mission week, and 30 hour famine. With this plan, we will have service opportunities once a month! We will also be having activities that allow our teens to invite including a March Madness watching party! I am excited to see how God will move this year. Will you pray with me this year that our teens will have a bold Spirit to invite people into the presence of God?

Finally, we are having a winter retreat this year! It will be the weekend of 2/7-2/9. This will include a retreat time of devotions and prayer. Friday night will be a lock-in style night, where we will stay up late and sleep at the church. Saturday morning, we will have breakfast and go snow tubing as a youth group then return to the church for dinner. Saturday night we will spend the night in host homes and be back at the church Sunday after second service. I am praying this is a time of connection and unity and growth! This will be 40$/person which will cover meals for Saturday and snow tubing! Here is the link to register...
