Youth Ministry Connection
Zion Lutheran Church 9th-12th Grade
December 2022
It's the Christmas season once again and I know some of us are ready to decorate our homes, drink too much hot chocolate, and listen to Christmas music nonstop. Christmas is personally my favorite holiday and I will be soaking up all the joy as I know many of us. And for those of you who know Spanish, mas is more. So that means this time of year we can focus on mas Christ!
However, I do know this time of year is not as joyous for some. This season can bring stress, pain, and tears. So whatever you're going through this Christmas season, I hope the peace, joy, and comfort of Christ comes to you and your loved ones this time of year.
We all had an awesome time in November with Wurstbraten, the annual Hayride, the annual Friendsgiving, and even more fun! Thanks to all who attended the parent meeting! It was awesome to see so many people come out and have a good time and learn more about the future of youth ministry!
December in Sr. High will be fast and fun! We are having our last connection hour of the year THIS Sunday on December 4th.
On December 11th, we will be caroling from 9:30-11:30 a.m. Also that day, we will be having our Christmas Party from 12-3 pm that includes lunch, games, and building gingerbread houses! Bring a wrapped White Elephant gift for under $15! Hope you can join in the Christmas season fun!
There will be no LIFE Group in December and no Connection Hour on Sunday, December 18th & 25th because it's Christmas!!! Below you will find the worship opportunities for your family in December here at Zion.
ALSO, there are many new events coming in the new year including a Winter Retreat at Glen Camp Lake from January 14th-15th. PLEASE RSVP by December 14th with your deposit of $50 with the link below.
There will also be a mission trip to Florida to help with Hurricane Ian Relief from June 3rd-11th. We are excited to travel together, help others, and be a part of Christ's mission to others.
I hope you all have an incredible Christmas season where you hold your loved ones tighter, remember the true meaning of Christmas, and share in memories, love, and compassion with those around you!
May there be mas Christ for all of you this Christmas season!
