Youth

        Our youth are not merely the "future of the Church." They are the Church today, and they will be Christ's eyes, ears, and hands in the coming years. We foster programs that will challenge them to consider the Christian life seriously, test their faith, and provide them with the fun and support of a Christian fellowship.

Sunday, April 13, 2008 our Pre-K Sunday School program will begin.
       
One of the Vestry goals for 2008 was to restart our education programs.  Starting with our youngest members, St. Timothy's will now provide a special class in the newly remodeled nursery during the first part of the service with the children rejoining their parents at the Peace.  Preschoolers, ages 1 to pre-K, are invited to participate in these Sunday School activities.
        Volunteers working on a rotating basis will offer lessons geared for preschoolers.  Sheryl Otter and Elaine Braverman will provide the curriculum and are signing up volunteer helpers.
        Our desire is that even our youngest members can experience the warmth of God's love and learn more about Him.

THE YOUTH GROUP:
        The Youth Group of St. Timothy's Church consists primarily of high school age teens. They meet in the Youth room on Sundays following the 9:00 A.M. Service and plan a variety of programs and activities throughout the year.

DIOCESAN YOUTH MINISTRY:
        Our diocesan youth ministry is active throughout central and southern Indiana. At various times throughout the year, the diocese sponsors New Beginnings Weekends for junior high ages and Happening Weekends for high school ages. These are like renewal retreats. They help the youth integrate their faith within a loving community environment. At various other times, Diocesan Youth Events are held during which all the youth are brought together for a single day event.

WAYCROSS CAMP & CONFERENCE CENTER:
        Waycross is our diocesan summer camp. Sessions are held for all ages from mid June through early August. It is located in scenic Brown County. It is a wonderful place to experience God in creation and in each other.
