One More Week to School and Ignite's First Fall Event

We're in the middle of our family's two week "vacation" (someone told me it was a "stay-cation" since we are mostly staying around home, but I think that term sounds silly). Even though I'm on 'break', I can't help thinking of school and our fall student ministries program, both beginning next week. It seems like the summer has flown by at warp speed! Still, I'm so excited about our great fall youth group schedule.

Students are heading back to school on September 2 and our Ignite student ministries will launch our fall programming one Sunday, September 7, with a Family Picnic. The picnic will double as a parent/student meeting where we'll share about all of our fall programs and events. All students and their families are invited to attend. Students, if your parents and families can't attend, please come anyway. You don't have to bring anything.

If you want a sneak peek at our fall calendar, be sure to check out the Journey North Church Google Calendar for the very latest dates and times of our events.

Update: Instead of having our picnic at the Johnsons, we will have the picnic following our church worship celebration on our new church property (about 1 mile north of Hwy 11 on the west side of Hwy 61—just look for the signs). The worship celebration is at 11 a.m. and the picnic will begin around 12:30. We’ll enjoy a great lunch together followed by a brief meeting where we’ll take a few minutes to share about this Fall’s schedule for student ministries and to answer any questions you may have. We’ll also have volleyball, Frisbee, and a bonfire (with some s’mores!) You can bring a chair or blanket to sit on or some lawn games to play!
