Regional Youth Group gathering Sunday 12/7/25 at Trinity Lutheran Church in Bowie 5pm to 7pm!

Connecting Church and Home
​​​​Children's Church is held during the Worship time while adults are enjoying the sermon.
​
The children are dismissed with an adult to learn about a Bible story, watch a brief video, and make a craft pertaining to the Bible story.
Children also participate in prayer and song.
The kids return before communion so they can be blessed by the pastor.
We are looking for four additional volunteers to provide an extra set of hands during this time. This is a good way for teens to accumulate community service hours. Please see Cyndie if you would be willing to help the teacher.
​
Contact Cyndie, Madonna or Amanda for more information.

TEAM FAMILY POWER PACK: Unwrap Thankfulness
Unwrap Thankfulness is the perfect way to help families slow down, laugh together, and grow grateful hearts during the Christmas season.
With four meaningful devotions; fun, hands-on activities; and simple ways to connect real life to faith, this project helps families focus on what truly matters: Jesus, the greatest gift of all.
Young families have received a “power pack” of activities to enhance the Advent experience. These
kits provide opportunities to help recognize faith-shaping moments at home! The kits contain “Unwrap
Thankfulness” family devotions, Connect Cards, and a Make-Masterpiece craft set. These were
handed out Nov. 30. If you haven’t received one, please see Amanda S or contact Cyndie.
Advent Devotional Material Available

Enhance your Advent experience by checking out the many choices of devotional material placed at the steps in the Narthex. There are selections for all ages. Enjoy!
Monthly Regional Youth Group gathering
St. Paul’s hosted the November Youth Group gathering and had a fun time. The group made walking tacos
for dinner and learned about the Reformation for devotion time.
​
They engaged in a service project making Birthday kits for the food pantry
so that families have a baking pan, cake mix, frosting,
sprinkles, candles, and a birthday banner to celebrate a birthday!
​
The youth ended the evening playing fall games of racing
apples balanced on spoons, candy corn stacking, and
whipped cream jack-o’-lantern faces.
The next regional youth group is December 7
at Trinity Lutheran Bowie
from 5-7pm.
