The Inverted

Thank you to those who attended our meeting last week. Just a few reminders:

We will be leaving the church at 3:30 pm on Friday, June 12th. It is very important that we leave at this time, as the campground we are staying at has a limited check-in window. We will be checking out of the campground at 11:00 am Sunday, June 14th. We will not immediately return to the church. We will ensure to inform parents of our time of arrival so that children can be picked up at an appropriate time.

• Also, we will be stopping for dinner while on the road, so please provide your child with a method of payment (cash, card, etc.) for food. As said above, if this cost is a concern for you, please reach out to the youth group, and we can work to solve this.

If you have a tent or camping supplies you are willing to let the youth group use on this trip, that would be greatly appreciated to send with your child to help with these arrangements.

The two key activities we will be participating in are a full-day hike to the top of Mount Monadnock and group games/swimming at Thorndike Pond.

If you have any questions (financial or in general) or concerns, please use the feedback form. More detailed information can be found in the attached document.

Our open house next Wednesday is the first day that our newly promoted 6th graders will join us in youth group. New students and parents are welcomed to attend and see what its all about!

Parents of students “moving up” into high school are also welcome to attend.

We are looking for snack donations for the youth group— our students work up quite an appetite after worship and games! Chicken nuggets, mozzarella sticks, chips, apples, whatever you would like to bring in we’re sure they’ll eat. Please give any donations to Justin or one of the other youth leaders. Thank you to those who have helped contribute!!

Also, please remember that snack is not meant to be a replacement for dinner, so please try to ensure that your child eats dinner before youth group!

We know sometimes there can be a disconnect between leaders and children since we usually only wave at each other during drop-off/pick-up, so this form is your opportunity to let us know of any problems your child may have brought up, or simply anything you would like to make the leadership team aware of. We try to be on top of everything, but with the number of children we have it’s always possible for something to be overlooked. Texting Justin directly is the best way to get in touch with him, but this form goes directly to Sarah who can and will get things done if needed!

Students are also welcomed to use this form to suggest topics they would like covered or to let us know of anything going on among the students that might be making them uncomfortable - our goal is for youth group to be a safe place for everyone, so when you reach out it will benefit the entire group!
