Youth

The Lutheran Church Youth of St. Michael is very strong. They are an active and essential part of our church. Youth in grades 6 – 12 are eligible for membership in LCY. The group meets weekly on Sunday from 6 – 7:30 pm but special meetings are held on different days and at different times. The LCY group meetings provide a variety of activities, including Bible studies, service projects and fellowship. LCY meetings begin with either a meal, on the first Sunday of the month, or snacks and fellowship time. Meals are usually provided in the fellowship hall and meetings are held in that room or in the Green Room.

Watch the bulletin, your mail and the newsletter for special event times and schedule changes.

Please sign up early for special events so we have plenty of transportation and food!!

You are a child of God

and He loves you very much!!

Cruzando!

Your journey with Jesus is a journey of a lifetime.

WAKE UP to who you are as a beloved child of God;

LOOK AROUND the next time you celebrate Holy Communion

and see who is and isn’t at His table with you.

When you leave the table, TURN AROUND and go in a different direction.

All is forgiven-the old is dead and God’s new way of life is in effect.

CROSS OVER with Jesus and be willing to travel in the unknown with Him and

GO WITH GOD (Vaya con Dios), back to your family, your friends, your school,

your congregation, and your community with a story to tell

of your encounter with Jesus and the glory of his promise.
