Hey everyone Here's what's up for this week at St. Luke's. (I know it's a lot, we have officially kicked off and we are rolling)
1. Sunday School 9:30-10:30am (we had a great start last week, keep getting up and coming. The more of you who are at church the better your class will be)
2. This Sunday evening 5:00-7:00PM note the time change from last year. Youth only, come on bring a friend. Remember our new schedule: 5:00-5:40 gather/dinner, 5:40-6:00energizers, worship, devotion; 6:00-7:00 High School and Middle School split. 7:00-8:00 Youth Choir practice.
3. Modern Christian Family night October 21, Feb 24, April 21. Parents come hear from of the best speakers on teenager things in the country. We've partnered with 12 other churches and Montreat Conference Center to bring you a series on parenting this year. Youth will come as well and have their own separate fun time too. More information here: registration is online, $45 per family for all three sessions. Sessions are at Trinity Presbyterian Church in Buckhead.
4. Wednesday night Photography class: We are off to a great start and would love to have you. You don't need a nice fancy camera to participate, a plain old point and shoot or even your phone will do just fine. This class if for middle school and high schoolers.
5. YOUTH CHOIR BEGINS at our new time this Sunday. Stay after youth group from 7 to 8 in the Great Hall for some volleyball action followed by a drum circle and singing. Come see who's here this year, learn some new rhythms and practice a couple of songs we will sing in worship in the coming months. Everyone is invited! Even if you think singing isn't your thing, you will have a good time. Also, let us know on Sunday if you play an instrument of any kind. We're looking forward to a great year of music from the youth of St. Luke's!
For Parents:
Last Sunday was a great night. We saw a lot of veteran youth families and a lot of new 6th grade families as well. 6th grade families please ask questions that you are unclear about and what we can do to help get you all plugged in with each other more quickly. As a reminder here's what we covered in the parent's meeting last Sunday.
