Greetings,

We are trying to build a FUN and Faith filled group of students here at Trinity UCC in Jasper!!! And we want you to be a part of it!

Here are some opportunities:

• Circle of Concern for Senior High age every Friday @ 6:45 in the Trinity UCC sanctuary with a FREE breakfast at McDonald's following the prayer meeting. That's tomorrow morning. Invite some friends...
• The Friday Chill- While we had a great time last Friday; I am waiting for some more Adult Volunteers to do the next one; we might try some other nights as well. We will let you know when the next thing like this will be; so no Friday Chill this coming Friday.
• Sunday School Class @ 9 AM in the Youth Room in the basement on Sunday mornings; this is for all youth ages Middle school and Sr. High; we may eventually have a separate middle school and Sr. High class depending on if we can find teachers... It will consist of hanging out and talking about faith and life.
• CONFIRMATION: This is for 8th graders (or older if you haven't been confirmed yet); there will be a orientation for this on September 12th at 7pm in the chapel room for both the students and parents. Confirmation class is on Wednesdays at 7pm starting September 26-April 30th; the actual confirmation will be Sunday May 4th. There will be a retreat and other cool confirmation stuff. email me and let me know if you're interested in confirmation- trinityuccyouth@gmail.com

With School starting and the summer coming to an end, many of us are very busy during this transition... But don’t forget to keep your faith active in your lives! In fact, in all things that you do (school, family, friends, fun, work) do it all as faithful believers in Christ.

Please make plans to attend our Beaver’s lake outing after church on August 19th. Be ready to swim and go tubing! Also, we will eat some great grilled hot dogs and briefly discuss what you want your Trinity UCC youth group to be like.
