All are welcome to join the CtK Youth on Sunday, January 2nd, after worship (about 10:30am) for a welcome to 2022 party! We’ll eat and play games and see Garrett (he’s been away at boarding school) and we’ll talk about the Youth Group schedule for 2022. And we’ll relax and just hang out. It’ll be super fun – see you there!
We had so much fun painting ceramics in October, and they turned out so beautifully, we’re doing it again! Youth (and anyone else who wants to join us) will meet at DAC at 4:30pm to get creative! Afterwards, we’ll probably wander around downtown for Noel Nite.
The Youth will be selling their ceramic creations as well as tasty baked goods. If you want to bake something to donate to the sale, let Deacon Mandy know. Otherwise, bring your appetite and your wallets!
Wait until you see what the Youth created at their Ceramics Painting Party!
We had an awesome time talking and getting creative. You’ll be able to purchase their creations at our Holiday Bake Sale fundraiser, coming up at the end of this month (or possibly the beginning of next month). A huge shout-out to the Durango Arts Center for hosting us, and to Wanda Ellingson for the Thrivent Action Team Card that covered the cost.
As always, thank you for your continued support in helping us get to the 2022 ELCA Youth Gathering!
Click HERE to sign up. There are TWO (2) (due) STEPS to complete to sign up. We know that seems like a lot, but it’s FANCY and we want to do it right. Email Deacon Mandy if you need assistance. There’s even a take-out option available!
We have 2 other Youth events this month that we’d love you to join us for: Spooky Silent Sunday and Ceramic Friday. Click here for all the details!
Another school year has begun!
Sadly, that means we had to say goodbye – for now – to one of our Gathering-bound Youth. Garrett is off to school in Massachusetts! But don’t worry, he’ll be back on breaks, for the summer, AND for the Gathering.
Youth Group has moved its weekly meetings to Wednesdays from 6pm-8pm. We attend – and participate in – the regular Behold! worship service and we’d sure like to see all of you CtKers there, too. Don’t worry, you can leave after worship if you don’t want to join us for games and fun until 8pm. CtK’s mascot cat, Ronald, joined us last night for a game of “Keep it Up”, where we count to see how many hits we can make as a team to keep a ball in the air. Ronald used his head, but the ball went wild (and so did Ronald). Our highest count was 11, aided by a nice catch from a bush.
We hope to see you at Behold! next Wednesday at 6pm – in person (mask up please) or online.
Our Jr Counselors were especially awesome this year.
They had more responsibilites than in year’s past, but they rose to the occasion.
Heartfelt thanks to:
Jessi McVaugh, Maggie Gardner, Erik Hobby, Garrett Baker, Matt Pane, Emily McVaugh, Lauren Harwood, Makenzie Hjermstad, and Norah Jones.
Not only did they shower the campers with love, they kept them safe and having fun. They also made a “Jr Counselor DOs and DON’Ts” video for use in future years’ Day Camp training sessions. Check it out!
