YOUTH GROUP FALL KICKOFF & PARENTS’ MEETING – ALL rising 6th grade youth and older, along with their families, are invited to come to the annual Fall Kickoff & Parents’ Meeting, Sunday August 25, 5-7:30 pm, in the Spirit Center. This will be a dinner, with the church providing the burgers and the beverages. We ask every family to bring a side dish or a dessert to share. This will be a time to hear about all things youth ministry. We will look at the fall calendar, learn about the vast diversity of opportunities for youth at Glen Mar, and meet the adults who will be working with the youth. Parents will have the chance to sign up to help with dinners and to sign up for the Parent Council. Youth will be able to sign up for the middle school retreat and complete their youth group permission forms. The evening will end with some cool entertainment you won’t want to miss! This is the most important meeting of the year, and all youth and their families are strongly urged to attend.
2024-25 CONFIRMATION CLASS – Attention all 8th graders and older youth (and their parents): There will be an information meeting for all youth and parents of youth in the 8th grade and older who have not yet been confirmed. This meeting will take place on Sunday, August 25 at 10:45 am in the Youth Lounge. This will be a time when we discuss all our plans for the 2025 confirmation class. We will examine the meaning of confirmation, go over all the requirements and expectations we have for participants, and have the class schedule on hand. This will be a great time to have all your questions answered about the confirmation process. This meeting is mandatory for any youth thinking about being confirmed in 2025. Please talk to D.C.
