First Congregational Church Youth Ministry

Just a reminder that on January 29th, the Jr. High and High School groups will be having youth group together at 7pm in the Youth Building. This will be an important night for everyone to be there. We are looking forward to a fun night and a good conversation about the future. See you there!

Sunday, February 5th, is a big day. It is one of the most epic days on the calendar, in fact. It’s the SouperBowl of Caring! On this special day, youth from all over the country will be rallying and gathering donations in order to support local groups and ministries working to alleviate hunger and poverty. Our Jr. High Youth Group will be gathering donations between services and after second service on that Sunday in order to support the work of a local organization called the Ramona Food & Clothes Closet. Their ministry to Ramona is vital to the health and well being of many people in our community. They provide food and basic necessities to people in need. We are excited to support their work, even in this small way, by donating money and non-perishables.

On February 5th, if you’re a Jr. High student, meet us in the kitchen at FCC Ramona. We’ll collect the donations together! If you’re not a Jr. high student, bring your cash and your non-perishable food items to donate them for this awesome cause for the Kingdom of God!

…oh yeah… I think there’s a football game on later that day too.

On Sunday afternoon eleven of our Jr. High students returned from an amazing weekend at Forest Home Winter Camp. The theme for the weekend was “Be Light” and our speaker, Sean Palmer, helped us enter into God’s story–the story of how God created the world and how God created people to “be light” and to reflect who God is in the way we live. We learned that we need God’s grace to make us whole and we need Jesus so that we can be a reflection of who God is and be the people we were created to be. It was truly an amazing weekend. We were challenged and refreshed by the message, encouraged and uplifted by the worship, and we had a great time enjoying each other’s company.

Here’s a video of some of the highlights of the weekend… look carefully and I’m sure you’ll see some of our students:
