Stillnaz Youth & Young Adult Ministry Update 12/18
It all begins with an idea.
Happy week until Christmas! We wait in hope and anticipation for Christmas day, remembering what it would have felt like to wait for the Messiah, living in the time where we know He has come and is with us, but also anticipating His coming again. I pray this week you are filled with His presence and that you call on His name with hope, waiting and anticipating what He will do. Emmanuel! God is with us!
Tomorrow is our Ignite Christmas Party! Each teen is being asked to bring a 5-10$ wrapped gift to participate in the gift exchange. You can also wear your Christmas pjs or anything Christmas! Please encourage your teen to invite someone to this fun night!
This Saturday, 12/23, you can bring your teen to Normandie Ridge from 4:00-5:00 to light luminaries. Go to Stillnaz.com/serve and put in the comments "Normandie Ridge" to sign-up!
Also, remember that we will have a break from youth ministry (dates below) and that our Sabbath Sunday will be 12/31 so there will be no in person services! There will be no Sunday morning Insight until 01/07/2024!
We are also happy to announce we are going to have an all teen lock-in on January 19th starting at 7:00pm. You can use this link to sign-up your teen or to volunteer: http://tinyurl.com/5n8dzc37

Hi Stillmeadow families!
We are praying for your teens during this busy time of year and asking that you would experience Jesus' presence as you wait for His arrival. This week we are talking about Mary and what her picture of obedience looked like and how that relates to our call to obedience. I am praying each of your teens will experience the freedom of living a life obedient to God!
Next week is our Ignite Christmas party! Each teen is being asked to bring a 5-10$ wrapped gift to participate in the gift exchange. You can also wear your Christmas pjs or anything Christmas! Please encourage your teen to invite someone to this fun night!
This Sunday there will be no Insight due to the all generation Christmas choir! If you and/or your teen is interested in singing in the choir, please sign-up at stillnaz.com/serve or reach out! Insight will resume on 01/07/2024!
Remember our Sabbath Sunday will be 12/31 and we will have a break from youth ministry! The dates are in the announcements below!

It all begins with an idea.
Stillnaz Families!
We have started the Advent season! We are praying for you and your family as you prepare to experience hope, peace, joy and love in the waiting of Jesus' arrival! We are in the middle of the sermon series "You are called." This week we are talking about being called to be someone who brings hope!
So far we have explored Jeremiah who was called to use his voice, Ezekiel who was called to not care what other people think, Jonah who was called to "those people," and Isaiah who was called to freedom.
This Sunday during the 10:30 service, the teens will have Advent prayer stations set-up in the MPR for the congregation to walk through! So please check it out!
We have a lot of announcements this week that can encourage us to serve, invite and grow! Check them out!
Please reach out with any questions or concerns or if you just want to talk 🙂
We love you!

We are working through the sermon series, "You Are Called." We have been talking about what our calling looks like individually and communally during this transition season. We have talked about being called to use our voice and to not care what others think.
Please take some time to fill out the youth and young adult survey! We would love to hear your feedback! My official full time start date will be December 4 which is right around the corner!
Praying each of your families have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday!
There is so much to be grateful for.

Hey SNY Families,
Stillnaz Youth Families,
It is with excitement and honor that this week starts our journey together in youth ministry! I am so excited to partner with you in God's purpose and mission for our youth. He is a God of wild and amazing things and in Him we put our trust during this season. Will you join me in praying that our youth, individually and collectively, would rise up and embrace the calling God has placed before them? I am praying that we see a fire burning so bright that it is contagious to our entire congregation. Please always feel free to reach out with any questions, thoughts, or concerns! In the next week we will be sending around a survey that we would encourage each parent and youth to complete. We want to hear your voice as we navigate this season of youth ministry! Praise God for His work in each of our stories. I cannot wait to learn all of yours.
With hope,
Pastor Tabitha

Stillnaz Youth Family Update 11/1
It all begins with an idea.
Hey SNY Families,
It is with great joy and sadness that this week is my last week on staff at Stillmeadow, as Emily, Ezekiel and I will moving out of York county permanently after church on Sunday. It has been an honor to serve as Youth and Young Adult Pastor over the last 4 years. Undoubtedly the highlight of our time here has been the relationships that we have established with young people and families alike. I praise God for each of you and ask for his continued blessing and guidance on leading your families in pursuit of Jesus. May you have open ears, sensitive hearts, and clear minds to sense how God is leading you and your families, and may you have the bold courage to follow Him wherever that may lead!
Pastor Tabitha will be taking over the responsibilities of Youth Pastor as of this Sunday 11/5. You can reach her at Tmartin@stillnaz.com with your encouragement for her family’s transition and any questions you may have about youth ministry. What a gift it is that God has already raised up another leader from within our church so that our youth ministry can continue on without a hiccup. His faithfulness knows no bounds!
As for the other practical things… Today is the last day to register for 30 Hour Famine. Don’t miss that deadline :). We are also looking forward to our Fall Fest at Natalie & Garrett Wagner’s house this Saturday— I look forward to seeing you there!
“For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.”
Ephesians 3:14-19 NIV
Grace and Peace,
-Pastor Chris

Hey SNY Families,
Isn’t this fall weather great!? Pumpkin spice is in the air, haha! I hope that you find some time this week to slow down and take a deep breath to appreciate God’s beauty of the changing color colors.
We continue in our series of “How NOT to be the Church” during our Sunday School classes and Ignite sermons along with all the other ministries of the church. Last Tuesday we had Pastor Josh as a guest preacher to our teens, and I will be finishing up the last sermon of the series next Tuesday at the Farewell Party. Reminder that the whole church is invited to join us for worship and fellowship next Tuesday 10/24. We have also clarified that my last day on staff and living in York will be Sunday 11/5. My family appreciates your prayers as we transition to this next season of ministry, as we will continue to pray for Stillmeadow and the youth ministry specifically.
You can expect additional details about the leadership of the youth ministry within the upcoming week. There is also only a couple weeks left to register for 30 Hour Famine… don’t miss out on the opportunity to serve others around the world by fundraising! That’s all for now— May the Lord bless you in abundance this week as we live out our mission to be Jesus to All Generations!
Grace and Peace,
-Pastor Chris

We all have a calling to serve God, whether it’s as a teacher, pastor, doctor, nurse, construction worker, whatever! We want to partner with our students as they approach the end of their high school time to discern how God might be calling them vocationally. Our church is happy to support any of the students who register for the event! Signups are due 10/7. Register HERE.
December 19: Ignite Christmas Party
It’s a Christmas party! Wear your fun festive clothing (ugly sweaters and light-up things are highly encouraged), and come prepared for a $5 white elephant gift exchange!
Stillnaz Youth Family Update 9/27
It all begins with an idea.
Hey SNY Families,
I am grateful to each of you who have reached out with your encouraging words and blessings after the announcement of my resignation and plans to pursue God’s call to full-time prison chaplaincy. As we are in this season of transition, I have been working with Pastor Josh to prepare a robust plan for the season after my departure. We will be sure to communicate those details as soon as they are solidified. Please continue to pray for our Youth and Family Ministries, and that God would strengthen our leaders to continue carrying the task of discipling our young people in the upcoming interim season.
There are some new announcements of the things coming up though the end of the year. Our Y.E.S. Retreat signups are due by 10/7… don’t miss out on that 11th & 12th graders!
Grace and Peace,
-Pastor Chris

It’s a 5th Tuesday this month and we are excited to celebrate the joy of the Lord through fellowship and games! It is a great connection night for students to invite friends from school, especially ones who may not be connected to another church! It’s halloween too, so we look forward to having a good time with church appropriate costumes. (Consider principles of modesty and being sure to avoid anything that is grotesque or that dishonors the Lord)

Announcement of Family Ministry Change 9/12/23— Please Read Immediately
Announcement From Pastor Chris
Dear Stillnaz Families,
It is with both joy and sorrow that I come to you tonight. Joy from the grace and direction of God, and sorrow for the ending of a season. During our Ignite youth group tonight 9/12 I will be communicating to our teens that I will be resigning from my position as youth & young adult pastor. It has been a great joy and privilege that God has called me to serve in this role over the last 4 years. And as I continue to pursue the Lord, I am being called to serve as a prison chaplain away from York county. Often, during times of transition, some may wonder, “what’s really going on?” or “did something happen?” and I just want to confirm that this is not a separation from any negative experience, but that God is just calling my family to a new chapter of our journey in ministry. Please pray for me, Emily, and Ezekiel as we continue to walk in faith at the Lord’s leading, as we will continue to pray for our Stillmeadow family!
Over the next few weeks, we will be communicating more of the practical details of what the transition will look like. But we expect that it will be 1-2 months before my final day on staff. In the meantime, I do want to affirm that youth ministry is not going away. We have an incredible team of seasoned youth workers who have walked through pastoral transition before that will carry the ministry in the interim. Youth and family ministry is something that our church values deeply and we will continue to invest in that ministry as we begin the season of transition and pastoral search.
Each of the students will likely respond differently to change, some will take it harder than others, while others may even be excited for it. I would just affirm their feelings, however they respond. And I believe it will be important to ensure them that the youth group will not disappear, they will still have most of the same leaders, that they will still be able to connect with their peers, all the fun things on the calendar like 30 Hour Famine and the Ignite Christmas party are still going to happen, and also remind them that the church (or youth ministry) really isn’t about 1 person, but it is about the community in pursuit of Jesus together. And they can be assured that as God is calling one pastor away, he will be sure to bring another along to fill that role.
May God bless you and your family as you guide and parent your children through this transition!
The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you… And so Abram went, as the Lord had told him.
-Genesis 12:1; 4a.
Grace and Peace,
Pastor Chris Fuller
A Word From Pastor Josh
Hey families, this is a bittersweet announcement. We are so grateful for the season of ministry we had with Pastor Chris and Emily and we are so grateful that God is continuing to lead him and Emily. And we are going to miss them in York. But as God continues to lead the Fullers, God continues to lead our youth and families and young adults.
Let’s Pray…
…for the Fuller’s and the prison ministry Chris is moving to.
…for the youth and young adult and ministries.
…for the yet to be determined interim leader and youth ministry staff.
…for the yet to be determined permanent leader.
Let’s Plan…
This announcement means that we are moving into a new season for our youth and young adult ministry. This season will feature four basic overlapping phases. As we go through this season, we will be intentional about keeping you informed about the process (farewell party, interviews, etc).
Phase 1: Farewell Celebrations and Grieving
Phase 2: Interim Prayer Season
Phase 3: Search Season
Phase 4: Welcome and Integration of New Leader
Let’s Talk…
If you have memories or questions or ideas or concerns through this season, please feel free to reach out to Chris (pastorchris@stillnaz.com) or Josh (pastorjosh@stillnaz.com).
Grace and Peace through Christ our Rock, the Head of the body of believers, and our Guide for the Road,
Pastor Josh

Hey SNY Families,
Thank you for those who were able to join us for our parent cohort and family night last night! We’re officially in full swing of the fall semester. I am praying for you and your families as you enter this new season. If you missed the parent cohort you can find the resources shared there using this link. Next Tuesday will be a Fun 5th Tuesday, which is a great time for our students to invite their friends! Consider talking to your students about which classmates they can invite from school to get others connected in our youth ministry. May you find our rest and strength securely in God’s loving presence this season!
I love you LORD, my strength. The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. -Psalm 18:1-2
Grace and Peace,
-Pastor Chris

Registration Closed
Fall Retreat is an awesome event where we get to stay in cabins, go on hikes, play games, and we even bring in A Day Awaits to lead worship for us that weekend. We ask students to leave their phones at home or with a leader for the weekend (cell service isn't very good there anyway) to unplug from the noise of the world and connect with God and other teens.

CATALYST: A 4-WEEK SERIES FROM HEBREWS ON SPIRITUAL GROWTH
SERIES OVERVIEW:
Sometimes the idea of "faith" can feel a little mysterious and hard to grasp. After all, what is it? And how do you get it — or get more of it? Well, just like science can explain so many of the mysterious and hard-to-grasp things in the world around us, there are answers for many of the mysterious and hard-to-grasp things about faith, too. You'll learn in science class that "catalysts" are interactions that create big changes and transformations. In the same way, Scripture shows us certain change-making "catalysts" are necessary for the transformation of our faith and the faith of others. In this four-week series from Hebrews, we'll discover that faith is a catalyst for action, the faith of others can be a catalyst on our journey, Jesus is the catalyst for a new relationship with God, and we can be a catalyst for change.

We invite the school-aged littles to join the teens in games to include water dodgeball, water kickball, and other fun things! We will begin with worship at 7 dismiss everyone by 8:45. See you there! This is also the last week to register for Fall Retreat! You can find the link for that below. God is with you!
Grace and Peace,

PLEASE EXPLAIN: A 4-WEEK STUDY FROM THE GOSPELS ON JESUS
SERIES OVERVIEW:
Some things are hard to understand — like chemistry, verb conjugations, the blockchain, or why your friend is mad at you. When we face a problem, situation, or idea we’re struggling to understand, it always helps to know someone we trust can explain it to us. When Jesus was here on earth, he spent a lot of time helping his followers understand some pretty hard-to-understand ideas about God. One of the ways Jesus often made complicated ideas simpler was by explaining them through stories and metaphors, which we call parables. In this four-week series from the Gospels, we’ll explore four of the parables Jesus told his followers to explain four important truths about God. These parables help us see that God's words are a firm foundation, in God’s kingdom, everyone belongs, God’s words invite a response, and that God’s kingdom is always growing.

Hey SNY Families,
Welcome to August… That means joy as well as tears as our students prepare to head back to school in these upcoming weeks. I am praying for you in this transitionary moment and for a spiritually fruitful Fall season! Last week we had a great time at Teen Camp where our speaker challenged us to go “All-in” with our faith, that we wouldn’t hold anything back from God. We have had multiple students respond and make a public proclamation of that faith— Praise God! Please join me in prayer for our Fall Retreat coming up in a few weeks (don’t forget to register!), that the seeds planted over the last week would continue to grow and bear spiritual fruit in the lives of our teens and youth workers.
Please check out the dates below with an extra emphasis on the Family Night/Back to School Bash and Fall Retreat to make sure they’re on your radar and calendar! :)

Hey SNY Families,
Thank you for your prayer support over the last weeks! God has been moving powerfully in our youth ministry, and I can sense that is no doubt influenced by the faithful prayer partners we have. I am so grateful to serve a God who can move mountains, than can call dry bones back to life, and with a word spark new things into existence! It is so cool to have a front row seat to see that God at work in your families. Please continue to join me in prayer for our teen camp next week, and for the rest of our summer. The new school year is fast approaching and my prayer as a pastor is that our families would have full buckets of rested children and parents walking joyfully into this next season. Many of our schedules have been full over the past months, so I encourage you to find some special time to slow down and relax as a family, perhaps unplug from the devices and just rest is the presence of our loving Father.
Please check out the dates below with an extra emphasis on the Family Night/Back to School Bash and Fall Retreat to make sure they’re on your radar and calendar! :) We are also starting a new series “Please Explain” where we are talking about some of Jesus’ parables and what they mean for us today.

SENT TOGETHER: A 4-WEEK STUDY FROM THE NEW TESTAMENT ON EVANGELISM
SERIES OVERVIEW:
We all want to be part of something significant. We want to make a difference! We dream of making an impact and leaving the world better than we found it. Some people try to change the world all alone, but the people who’ve made the biggest and most positive differences in the world know you can’t do anything truly significant on your own. Jesus told us this on his last day on earth. He gave his followers a mission that would change the world — but he made it clear we couldn’t do it alone. He was sending us on a mission together. In this four-week series from the New Testament, we’ll learn from Jesus and some of his earliest followers that Jesus sends us on a mission — a mission that can bring healing, that can only be accomplished together, and that we can boldly choose to be a part of.
