DGYM News & Notes

After School Hang Time
All 6th-12th graders are invited to come hang out together in the Youth Barn after school. Come get your snack on while enjoying some wonderful, Christian fun! We'll have designated days for movies, video games, card games, board games, and even some outdoor games if the weather's nice. This is a great way to invite a friend and introduce them to the youth group in a very relaxed and nonthreatening atmosphere.

Marvel Movie Day
All 6th-12th graders are invited to join us for a Marvel Movie Marathon! We’ll meet at the Youth Barn at 12:00pm to watch several movies together (Iron Man 2, Thor, & Captain America). The price of admission is a case of soda or a pack of cookies! After that we’ll head to the movie theater to watch The Avengers at 7:00pm. The cost of the movie ticket is $10, and I only have a limited number of tickets available, so sign up on the list on the youth bulletin board at the church building to reserve your spot.

Connect LIFEgroup
All 6th-12th graders and their parents are encouraged to join us for this all teen LIFEgroup! We’ll be meeting every other Monday evening in the Youth Barn from 6:00 to 7:30pm for some light snacks, drinks, and outdoor fun, then we’ll spend time in praise and worship to God, and have some great Bible study and discussion on the book of James. Come join the fun as we hang out and connect with God and each other.

Game Night with Northside
Last month we went to Spokane for their great Photo Bomb Scavenger Hunt! Although it was a close competition, the Northside Youth Group pulled out a victory over us. Now it’s our turn to have them over for a fun game night during which we’ll award them with a specially created trophy. We’ll be at the Youth Barn from 6:00 to 8:30pm for some food, fun, and devotional time. Everyone is asked to bring $3 for food and drinks.

Project: Sing!
It’s time for us to spread some more joy and love through song! Everyone 6th grade and up is encouraged to join us for a musical service project as we share the blessing of our voices with some special folks. We’ll meet at the church building at 5:00pm to go serenade some of the older members of our congregation. We’ll stop for a quick dinner break, then finish up and be back at the building at 9:00pm.

Senior Baccalaureate Service
Everyone from the congregation is encouraged to join us for a special service as we honor our 2012 Seniors. We will meet in the Large Auditorium for an encouraging devotional including a slide show and Bible presentation for our graduates. After the service there will be a Finger Food Fellowship and Reception in the Small Auditorium. Each Senior will have a table decorated in the Small Auditorium if you'd like to leave a card, gift, or write a prayer of blessing. Come celebrate with our Seniors!

Memorial Day Mayhem
Everyone 6th grade and up is invited to join us for an afternoon of fun. We will meet at the church parking lot at 1:00 pm (eat lunch before you come) and head to Spokane for an afternoon of Laser Quest. The cost is $20 which will get you 3 action packed games of Laser tag. I will provide a cooler of water bottles, but you may want to bring some extra money if you want any snacks. We should get back home around 6:00 pm. Bring a friend and come join the battle!

Upcoming SUMMER Events

Music Camp : June 17 - 23
A favorite of many teens in the Northwest, this weeklong camp at Prince’s Pine focuses on learning new songs as a group and sharpening your skills as an individual musician. You don’t have to be a good singer to go, but having a love for singing sure helps. LOTS of singing... LOTS of powerful messages from scripture… LOTS of wonderful worship... LOTS of fun!

Guys Backpacking Trip
We’re still working out the details so stay tuned for more info!

Bible Sports Camp : July 30 - August 1
Vacation Bible School redefined! We’ll need lots of volunteers (young and old) to help with this great outreach event as we teach young children about God’s Word through basketball, cheerleading, and soccer. Don’t miss it!

All Teen Camp : August 5 - 11
This weeklong camp at Prince’s Pine is for all 7th-12th graders who are serious about growing in their relationship with God. Sure there’s lots of silly songs, games, hiking and swimming, but the incredible Bible classes, application activities, and worship times are guaranteed to challenge your teen and help them become a more devoted follower of Christ.

Preteen Camp : August 12 - 18
Basically the same thing as All Teen Camp, but tailored to the needs of our 3rd-6th graders. All of these camp applications can be picked up from the Youth Bulletin Board. Space is limited so get those forms turned in ASAP!
