Oh Right, We Have a Blog

SO.... it has been a while. Since the last blog post a group of 10 (see above) went to Ridgecrest, NC for Centrifuge Summer Camp 2009. I encourage you to ask them about their experiences there...

We also went to Oshkosh for the EAA Airshow, went to Slinger Raceway to watch some car races, and stayed at Northwest for a movie night and a game night.

Finally,

We had a Friday night l*o*c*k-in that was
followed up by a Saturday work-day.

I want to let you know that the few people we helped were EXTREMELY appreciative...

Moving on...

As we approach the upcoming school year (that is already there for some) I want to change how this website will function. Upcoming events and recaps of things past will remain in the postings, but I would like to also use this website as a way to encourage each of you to grow spiritually. More info will come on this, but for now I would like to leave you with a video clip that many of you have already seen (but watching it again can have an even greater impact on you... trust me).

~~ Check It Out ~~


Ta ta for now.

LBA Kids Camp, Carwash, and more!

Just want to say a big thanks to everyone who helped with the carwash / rummage sale / bake sale. It was a B-E-A-utiful day!

ALSO, kids camp went great (our graduated 5th and 6th grades AND our junior counselors seemed to have had a blast).

Pictures and more updates to come soon...

Stay tuned

Skate Night and More to come...

We recently attended Gospel Skate Night @ Waukesha Skateland

After a couple of nice wipe-outs and a blister or two we trekked over to Oscars for a little dinner / dessert. All-in-all it was a fun night.

Moving on, we've just recently finished updating our summer events calendar (most of which can be seen in the calendar below).

There are also hard copies available in the
youth room, so grab one next time you're there!

Finally, you may wonder why there's a lot of junk currently sitting in the back of the youth room...

As it is, those are items for the church-wide rummage sale.
Keep in mind that money raised is going to help out for scholarships for youth and children's camp :)

Milwaukee Rescue Mission ... & my own mission

We took a group of almost 20 to the Milwaukee Rescue Mission and we:

• cleaned hallways
• Cleaned classrooms
• cleaned bathrooms

Basically, we cleaned... a lot!

We even got a shout-out from Pastor Tom
during the 2nd service :)

As for this site, a few new things. I will try and update the songs on the music player on a weekly basis. I've collected quite a lot (and quite a variety) of music over the past couple of years, so hopefully there will be something you like.

Finally, at the bottom of the page you should now see an events calendar. Its default setting is "Agenda" where it lists events, but you can also look at it in calendar mode if you would prefer. You can click on the green text (next to the time) to see more information about any of the events.

**To see ALL of the events, click the "look for more" link at the bottom of the agenda. Events, for now, should not go past 1/15**

I Guess That's all he wrote... for now

LIKE WHOA!

Welcome to the new and improved Northwest Youth site.

So here it is... post numero uno.

The plan for this site is two-fold.

• It will hopefully be a source of organization for the upcoming events for the youth group
• It will provide some insights and other food for thought for any who may come across it
