 Junior and Senior High Youth
meet every Sunday at 10:50 AM for their own
fellowship, food and fun before going to their B.S.S.
classes for Building Spiritual Strength.
Wednesday nights youth groups begin at
6:45 and end between 7:45 and 8:00. Youth have a
choice between a Bible study in the library, and the
active Rockin' Believers. The Bible study is led
by Bev Rose. Rockin' Believers is led by Pastor
Carolyn Butler. Contact Carolyn
Butler for up-to-date information.
Throughout the year both junior and senior high youth are involved in
many regional youth events such as Youth Leader Corps, youth conventions,
church camp, ski weekend, etc. The youth groups also plan
numerous activities like golfing, camping, tubing, Boundary Waters trips,
Christmas caroling, and whatever else they can think of!

Kids in grades 3
through 9 are invited to participate in Youth
Praise. The group rehearses on Wednesday
evenings from 5:30 until 6:15, under the direction
of Winnie and Jerry Williams (651-735-3315).
Youth Praise sings periodically in church and
performs either a play at Christmas or a musical in
the spring.
Rehearsals follow the Faithweaver Friends Schedule.
After dinner and prior to youth group, dinner is
provided for $2 per person for youth and their
families and friends.
We try to make sure that all interested youth have the
opportunity to serve on a mission trip sometime during their high school
years. We do extensive fundraising to make sure it is affordable,
and also assist youth in raising their individual portion. Some
raise all the money through church fundraising.  During the summer of
2007, 2005, 2003,
2001, and 2000 our
senior high youth and their adult sponsors traveled
to Ruiz, Mexico, to build homes. In 1999 our Junior high
youth had their own mission trip to Dayton Oaks camp
to build hogans. Trips in
previous years were to Tecate, Mexico. Youth
and children are also welcome with their families on
our family mission trips held most summers to
various locations. |
