YOUTH HOUSE UPDATE
The Youth House is being used by many kids! With this ministry growing, we are constantly in need of many things.

VOLUNTEERS: We are looking for adults that love kids for who they are. If you could be at the Youth House on a Monday, Wednesday or Friday anytime between the house of 3-5 pm, you would discover just how much fun these kids are. For more information, contact Deanna.
DONATIONS: We always can use donations of pop, the favorites are Mountain Dew, Dr Pepper, Pepsi, Cherry Coke, Fresca, Grape...the kids pay a quarter a can and will also drink store brands of these flavors. Snacks and fruit would also be a great donation. Any cash gift would be greatly appreciated. There is always a need for money for supplies.
THE PURPOSE OF THE "YOUTH HOUSE" is to share 
Christ through life. At the heart of this ministry is a team of individuals dedicated to making it a place where youth can find genuine friendships and experience God in a real way. It is a neutral, safe and comfortable place for youth to go after school and on weekends. This complements the current youth ministry here at English Lutheran Church. Our Mission Statement is “Make Jesus Known” and that is exactly what we want to do!
The Youth House Vision:
• Reach out to all the youth in the community – many youth have no parents at home after school and they have no supervision
• Make the Youth House a place where youth can experience God in a real way, where there are good role models with whom they can develop healthy relationships.

• Have special activities on weekends, such as movie nights, game night, etc.

• Make it a gathering space for Bible studies
• Provide a place for youth bands to practice (garage)
• Promote the activities offered at all the area churches and school bulletin boards
