High School Youth
Early Release Wednesday
Come and join us right after release on “early release Wednesdays.” Free food awaits you, then we join together in a ministry in the community around us. Making a difference – that’s what disciples of Jesus do!
Sounds Like Love
Sounds Like Love returns this fall – November 10-12, in Mathomedi, MN. Rehearsals will begin in Cotober.
What is Sounds Like Love? Great music, connections with kids from around the Midwest, and a LOT of good times. Typically, Our Savior’s sends six or more to participate, and then return to share the music with us. Check out the Sounds Like Love web site right here. For more information, see Pastor Jon or Linda Berg.
Breakfast Club
The Sunday morning Breakfast Club meets… on Sunday mornings! We meet during the Sunday School hour (9:15 AM) in the kitchen, feasting on wonderful snacks and goodies, reflecting on life and Jesus. All Middle School and High School youth welcome. Just come, munch, share and support one another!
Clothes Closet Coming Soon!
We are going to be starting a clothes shelf at Our Savior’s very soon! It will be held on Saturdays when the food pantry is open. We will be building a shelf, and looking for donations in the near future. If you would like to donate, we will be collecting sunscreen and baseball caps in the summer/spring and hats, gloves, mittens, and scarves in the winter/fall. If you are interested in helping out or looking for volunteer hours, contact Pastor Jon. We are looking forward to answering God’s call to help others in our community!
Mission Trip
Each year Our Savior’s youth embark on a mission trip, or other “distance service and learning”opportunity. In 2013 we headed to North Carolina, 2014 to Puerto Rico, 2015 Atlanta and the National Youth Gathering in Detroit, and in 2016 to Minneapolis/St Paul. Fundraisers are held during the year to help defray the cost.
Future trips will be planned, especially the 2018 National Youth Gathering in Houston. Come and join the service, the learning, and the fun!
