Northminster's Youth Ministry is designed for youth in middle school (6^th, 7^th, & 8^th grades) & High School (9^th, 10^th, 11^th, & 12^th grades.)

Hi!  I’m Julie Shannon, Director of Youth & Young Adult Ministries at Northminster Church.  Jacob Mann and I strive to make our Youth programming and events a fun, warm, and welcoming experience.  Youth Fellowship, Sunday School, and several other church events are places where you can be yourself, a place to make new friends, and hang out with your old friends, and a great place to learn about God and grow in your faith!  We welcome you, your family, and  your friends to Northminster!

 Join us on Sunday nights where you can expect...

• Fun (games & activities)
• Food (usually pizza)
• Fellowship (Bible study & awesome talks!)
• Friends (life-long)

 When?  Sundays 6-8pm

Souper Bowl of Caring – February 7, 2010!

More than 17 years ago on a Super Bowl Sunday, a single youth group was inspired by a simple prayer. They started the Souper Bowl of Caring, a youth-led movement that is now an international event.  Since 1990, the Souper Bowl of Caring has raised more than $33 million for individual charities across the country.  It is also turning our nation's biggest football weekend into its largest weekend of giving.  Each year, tens of thousands of our nation's youth put God's love into action through the Souper Bowl of Caring.  You can help them feel the significance of caring for others.

 

We are asking everyone to drop a dollar in the soup pot on game day—February 7^th, 2010 as they leave worship. Donations will go directly to a charity right here in our community. With everyone’s help, more dollars will be raised, more lives will be changed, and more young people will experience the joy of serving Christ by serving others.  Go to www.souperbowl.org for more information.

 

"Lord, as we enjoy the Super Bowl football game, help us be mindful of those without a bowl of soup to eat."
