Memory verse:

Teens will be given an index card each lesson with a memory verse for them to work on. I am planning on having some sort of score system and rewards. I will get back to you on that. Say your verse at youth next week. We will use the awana format; 2 helps, and say the verse before and after. Discuss:

I need help deciding what day we will go to Worlds of fun this year. I have possible dates listed in the future events section below.

Bible Study
Date/Time: Tuesday (03-25-25)
    The Girls will be having their meeting at our house. They will be having Pizza! If you can bring some $ to help cover that it would be nice.
     The Guys will be going to Freddy's Frozen Custard (2135 SW Gage Blvd, Topeka, KS 66614). It is 20 minutes away and we took longer to get through the lesson than I thought last time. Therefore, we are leaving the church at 6:30. If you want to meet us directly, be there at 7:00PM. Guys will be doing chapter 5. I Expect to get back around 8:25 PM.
Please come even if you don't have the book, and invite friends.

Youth Group Focus:

"Bring them to Jesus"

Mark 2:3-5 (NKJV) 3 Then they came to Him, bringing a paralytic who was carried by four men. 4 And when they could not come near Him because of the crowd, they uncovered the roof where He was. So when they had broken through, they let down the bed on which the paralytic was lying. 5 When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven you.”

Here is what I'm thinking so far, let me know what you think.

Possible dates:

June Mon-16, Wed-18, Mon-23, Wed-25, Mon-30

Time: Leave at 9:30 AM get to an early lunch at (vote to to go Wendy's, Burger King, McDonalds, Arby's, Taco Bell, Subway) get to the park around 12:15 PM

Return: Leave at 6:00PM get Dinner on the way home

Cost: Ticket $37 early bird price (There is no clear cut off date for this so it would save us lots of money if we decided early when to go) $70 at the gate + Lunch money ($15 ish)+ Parking $5 per person to help cover cost for the van)+ Dinner Money ($15). Park food is expensive if they want it. I've timed it where they could eat lunch and dinner at the park as well if they wanted.

I'll send a link to the early bird tickets when we decide what day we are going.
