Members participate
in a wide range of activities, including Bible study, games,
pizza, fundraising, baby sitting and many other fun things.
The focus is on:
-
Fun activities,
games and challenges.
-
Discussions about
ourselves; God and His Son, Jesus, and the ways
in which these are all entwined.
-
Fundraising
events to support our many activities.
-
Volunteer efforts
to contribute to this society in which we live.
The Sacred Heart youth group
members have written Christmas cards to be sent to the soldiers
overseas. They have gone on outings at the Island Sports Area
and participated in the Lovewalk. (All students and their
families are welcome to join in this activity.)
Some topics that youth members have
already discussed include: "the ways in which we carry our
crosses," "our faith, and the c4allenges we face" and "handling
critics."
A babysitting service (with adult
supervision) for children attending the "Happy Birthday Jesus
party" was a fundraising event offered by members.
Here's an example of
one of the exercises used in a recent youth group:
