On Sunday, December 14th the Youth Group hosted Holy Cross’s annual Blue Christmas service–an extremely moving Taize service.  The youth helped in setting up the altar space and in the reading for the evening.

We have some changes for our December Youth Group schedule. We have some wonderful things planned and hope everyone can participate.

• The first week of Advent, we have been invited to have dinner with Rev. Carolyn at her house. Drop off and pickup will be at the church.  We will need one or two parents to help us carpool to Carolyn’s house.
• The second week of Advent, Joshua Layne will be hosting a piano concert at the church.  He will be performing an original piece “Reflections on the Birth of Christ Based on the Gospel of Luke.”  The youth group will provide a light reception following.  We will need volunteers to bring drinks, snacks, plates, napkins, and cups.
• The third week of Advent the youth group will help Rev. Carolyn plan and host a Blue Christmas service.
• There will be no youth group the 4th Sunday of Advent.
• We will be back to our regular schedule on Sunday, December 28.

The Youth Group has designed a new T-shirt for this year.  Shirts will be digital prints and cost $17 per shirt.  The shirt features the following text:

You show me the path of life
In your presence there is fullness of joy;
In your right hand there are pleasures forevermore.

Psalms 16:11

Please download the Tshirt Order Form, fill it out, and return with payment to Tanya Garrett no later than November 2nd.

The Holy Cross Youth Group is dedicated to creating a safe environment for youth between sixth and twelfth grade to learn about the Episcopal Church, to explore what it means to live a Christ-like life, and to grow in communion with each other through Jesus Christ.  We welcome any youth who wants to learn more about our church or about our faith!  This blog will provide updates, schedules, and–hopefully–contributions from our Youth!

Peace be with you!
