Welcome to our Youth Group Page!

Our Youth Group is a place for any teen ages 13-18 to come and be among other teens...and a youth director who acts like one!  It is a safe place to be yourself while learning about the Christian lifestyle.  Together we examine our lives and encourage each other to grow in our individual walks with Jesus.  We have a lot of fun through monthly outings (such as bowling, concerts, scavenger hunts, retreats, etc.) and weekly meals/games together.

We are also looking to help the widows and elderly in our church.  We would like to show that we care by doing anything that may be needed (housework, yard work, chores, errands, rides to visit family/friends, etc)  So please let us know if we can be of any service to you.  This is absolutely free of charge.  We just want to show our appreciation.

Our youth group has a new schedule this year.  We will be extending our time together on Wednesday evenings.  The new schedule is as follows:

5-6 pm Confirmation (begins October 20)
6-7 pm Lesson, prayer, songs, announcements
7-7:45 pm Drama or Praise Team practice
7:45-9:30 pm  Young Life (monthly or every 2 weeks)

I have been offered a part-time Director of Junior High position at a church in Naperville.  I will be rotating my time on Sundays between both groups of students.  I will be in Elburn every 4th and 5th Sunday of each month.  Instead of Sunday School at 9 am, each junior and senior high student can pick from attending Pastor Michelle's bible study, working in the nursery, or helping Mrs. Biddle with her class (1-2 volunteers only please).

Please pray for each of our teens that they will feel God's presence and love with them as they return to school.  May they have courage, strength, and peace as they witness to their friends the love of Jesus Christ through their actions and words.  Thank you for your continued support of our teams!  Jessie
