Youth Ministry ~ October 2024 Update

Happy October everyone! We have a full slate of special events lined up for the month for our youth (K-9 yrs), pre-teens (9-12 yrs), teens (12-18 yrs), and young adults (18+).

Thank you to everyone who made our Mini-Golf Night at Parkside a great success. It was a lot to fun to see you all out there and it served as an excellent kickoff to the new Liturgical Year!

This month, we begin with our all-age Fall Outdoor Movie Night featuring the original Aladdin (1992) Friday, October 11th at 7pm. We’ll be serving popcorn and treats – all are welcome! In case of bad or cold weather, we will be holding the event in the Church Hall. Please bring chairs, blankets, etc.

Next up, we have our first solo Young Adult Meet-Up at Iron Smoke Distillery Wednesday, October 16th at 7pm. Although we still aim at cycling through different venues/activities, Iron Smoke provides the perfect Fall atmosphere and has proven popular enough that we may establish it as an annual October Meet-Up. At this event, they will be featuring a Live Band Karaoke with an “all star line-up” as an option to those brave enough to sing (not mandatory, of course). Venue has a $5 cover at the door.

Our biggest event of the month is our Teen/Young Adult Fall Costume Dance/Karaoke Party Saturday, October 26th beginning at 6pm. This event will feature music, food, tasty treats, and the scariest thing of all…karaoke! Of course, it won’t all be eardrum shattering frivolity as we will also feature dance music and a costume contest!

The next day, October 27th, we’ll be hosting our annual Trunk or Treat event for our youngest and pre-teens from 4pm – 5:30pm in the Church Parking Lot. To participate, we ask that those who register for the event decorate their trunks and bring candy to hand out (no candy with nuts please). Costumes encouraged (don’t forget a candy bag!).
