This week in the JYM - Let's rent some boats on Sunday! We have a special service project we need help and donations for on Tuesday. Read to get the details, and to RSVP! https://conta.cc/2PN8Wga

A beautiful way to end the day.

Come center yourselves, be together in the outdoors and spend some time watching something beautiful. Still room

But what does that mean? It means all people can have hope. It means death doesn’t have the final word. It means that the things that seem dead and hopeless can have new life. It means no matter who you are, what you’ve done, how you feel and what you believe, you are loved and there is hope. Walk in that truth students. We love you, God loves you more.

Don't be a fool - read our weekly e-mail today! We have info for online Easter & Holy Week services, and a different Tuesday night - painting the sunset at Communication Hill. Plus results from our "Move It March" challenge. Happy April! We also would love more feedback about summer plans so if you haven't filled out the survey yet please do, it's quick and helps us tremendously https://conta.cc/3dwmLHP

Hey JYM adults! We have a senior class this year that has weathered a lot! The end of their junior year and it looks to be the entirety of their senior year will look different than they’d ever hoped. While they are adjusting and coping as well as they can, we want to make the last semester of their senior year one where they are consistently encouraged and thought of with prayers, notes, baked goods, doordashed meals and other creative things you might have in mind! We curre...ntly have 10 Seniors signed up to be sponsored and 7 grown ups to sponsor them. We’d love to have two adults per senior so they can share the different weeks and months of encouragement and deliveries. Would you be interested in sponsoring a senior from now till August? Fill out this form and we will pair you with another adult and with a senior! https://docs.google.com//1LrgohFpMhfbN9sHEYkfpnUaJnu1/edit

Thank you students and families for your generosity. All the gifts you shopped for or donated for were delivered on Wednesday to the Family Giving Tree. They were very grateful. We will be volunteering there on Sunday night and Tuesday night as well.

Back to zoom and it was fun... and for those interested, the elders of JYM, the Jr and Srs, stayed on later to teach us Discord...might be a steep learning curve for the eldest Youth Pastor but we are gonna get it. If you’re a Jr or Sr reach out to @caden.seevers @sarah19_sj or @alex_juliaa to join is that the right word...the server haha

Link for Online Game night tonight at 5:30pm! We will be doing some trivia and some moving around the house games. We hope you can log on and join us!

Was it entirely different than years past? Yes. Was it still fun? Yes. Did lots of people contribute online, buy on their own to do it a different way? Yes. Did 18 students purchase and organize 60 gifts while masked, sanitized, and use their time and money creatively all in under 90 minutes? Yes. Because of your generosity, 85 people will be having a brighter holiday. Thank you- for pivoting plans all the time, participating in ways that felt safe and for supporting our teens and those they supported today.
