Description: We will divide into two work groups. One group will focus on Habitat type work, and the other will lead VBS. The Habitat group’s service will be with the Mitchell and Yancey Counties chapters of Habitat for Humanity. We will be helping to build decent and affordable single-family homes. The group may also work at the Habitat Resale store and at other agencies and schools where physical work is needed.

The other half of the group will lead Vacation Bible School for children and youth at Crossnore School (a residential school for neglected children). On Friday, all of the servants will interact with developmentally disabled adults at Yellow Mountain Enterprises as we hold a “Field Day Picnic” with them.

Our base will be Camp Linn Haven, a Lutheran camp in Linville, N.C. This setting gives us room for refreshment and recreation which includes swimming pool, basketball, volleyball courts, large fields and walking trails. Our days begin and end with daily devotion, community life, Bible study and worship. This helps us focus our serving through faith in Jesus Christ.

Annual Ski Retreat

Annual Sr. High Ski Retreat

This year’s High School ski trip is January 7-9, 2011 at Winterplace Resort in Flat Top, WV. We'll meet at church at 2:00 pm on Friday, so early dismissal from school will be required. This is necessary in order to drive during daylight and to get the equipment before the resort closes. The basic cost is $125 with some variations for boarders or for folks who own their own equipment. For families who have elected not to buy SCRIP, the cost is $167 with some variations. Your $50 deposit is now due - so we can finalize the list, and secure counselors and transportation. Only those who have skied before – or boarded before may snowboard. First-time skiers must take lessons, at no additional cost. The cost

Doing the Most Good

Salvation Army Bell Ringing for Youth
Mark the dates for bell ringing – December 4 from 9:30 am to 6:30 pm. (Note the time change from the Torch. This annual project helps the Salvation Army to “GO out to share His love” in ways
that most of us will never have the opportunity to do. YOU also have the opportunity to "GO" simply by ringing the bells, wishing a "Merry Christmas" or our REAL OBJECTIVE: "God Bless You!"
This year we will be at Gayton Crossing and East Ridge.

Middle School youth need a parent chaperone, High School youth can ring with a buddy or alone if you've got it in you. Sign up at the Youth Communications Center in the lower narthex.

Mission U(niversity) at Trinity! Join us this Saturday, February 13 from 9:00 am – 12 noon. Lutheran Hour Ministries’ Sarah Guldalian will be live at Trinity to discuss witnessing tactics and dialogue to avoid so we do not alienate those around us. We’ll learn to determine the proper time for sharing our faith. We’ll also learn what to do about missed opportunities and how to move forward after conversations gone wrong. And, crucial to gaining confidence in our witness, we will improve in the area of responding to objections. Please contact Pastor Michael to register. Those going to I Belive - The National Youth Gathering, can count this as "participation hours."

Robious Lock-In with Captive Free

2008-11-12T18:34:00.000-08:00

In November we got together with Redeemer Lutheran Youth for a lock-in at Robious Sports and Fitness. Between tennis, racquetball, swimming and board games, there wasn't ANY time for sleep, so we hope everyone got caught up the next day. Captive Free did a great job of leading games and music, and as always were a lot of fun to hang around with. (if you missed them, be sure and sign up for the Virginia Beach Zone. (Even if you didn't - sign up for the Zone!!!)

It was nice to meet Pedro and Amanda. We're getting to know Bryce well - and were glad to have visitors spend the night with us. If you liked this event, be sure and let the youth board know - so that we can plan one again.

2008-11-12T18:14:00.000-08:00

Let's be honest. Its been a VERY long time since we have up dated this blog. Here are some photos from the not to distant past. We had to say goodbye to our seniors, but got to welcome the freshman. The Lord gives and the Lord takes, Blessed be the name of the Lord.
