The Inverted

Open to everyone at the Harbor! We will have a potluck, short lesson, craft, and game to kick off our VBS week as one big Harbor Family. Please let us know you’re coming with the survey below- thank you!

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 are still on break with the other electives through the summer, but starting this fall we are planning to go through Let’s Get Real: Examining the Evidence for God by Dr. Frank Turek and Shanda Fulbright. As per the introduction, is it ‘designed to help facilitate a discovery style learning environment and guide our students to reasonable conclusions for the existence of God and the truth of the Bible.’

If you would like more information on the topics covered or if you would like to take a look at the physical teachers guide we have, please use the form below or email Justin or the office directly.

We have secured February 12-14, 2027 (President’s Day weekend) for Deep Freeze snow camp at Camp Berea in Hebron, NH. This is a weekend away to grow closer with God and with your friends. There will be all sorts of excitement including, tubing, gym time, races, competition with your friends, and more! We are excited for God to show up and work in your life.

The total cost of the weekend is $260 per student, which will be due on Feb 1. A $50 deposit will be due on December 15 for anyone planning to attend.

*A reminder that there will be a separate registration form on Berea’s website which will open in Fall 2026. More info to come in our newsletter later this year.

Our VBS is being help Aug 9-13, so we will not be having youth group that night. Thank you to all the students who volunteered to serve!

If you have a child in Pre-K through grade 5, you can register them for VBS using the link below.

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!
