Vacation Bible School is a kid's summer camp. This year it will be from July 6-10th. If you haven't been involved in this event before, this is a "must do" activity for the summer. Teens and adults alike come together for a week to help kids grow in their faith and love for God. There's Bible stories, games, snacks, crafts and of course lots of fun songs and skits.
Calling all Teens!!!
If you like working with kids you will love being a VBS Teen Leader. You can help out in many ways including leading songs, acting in skits, being teacher assistants, helping with snacks or crafts, decorating and much more! Last year was tons of fun for all the teens involved. Don't miss out! Sign up today!
Plus for all the teen leaders, we have a special lunch and game time after each day of the VBS week. We hang out in the Youth Center from noon-1pm.
Check out a video of some of our teens leading the kids in a fun song:

Here comes summer!!! (almost)
Hey everyone!
Yes I know it's been awhile since I've posted. Spring is a busy time for Youth Ministry. Here's what we've been up to: High School Beach Retreat, Fundraising for Steubenville NW, youth yardwork days, Decade Dance, volunteering at Blanchet House (soup Kitchen in Portland), and of course finishing up with our year long Confirmation Program. We had 23 awesome teens Confirmed this year. Congratulations to those teens on their commitment to their faith and lifelong journey with Jesus. Don't forget to keep on using those gifts that you have received from God to help serve in the parish and the community.
As we near the end of the school year we come to a close with our regular Sunday Youth Nights. However, our program doesn't stop for the summer! We have activities and events all summer long for you to participate and build relationships with other teens at the Church. We welcome incoming 7th graders through graduating seniors at all our summer youth events. You are always more than welcome to bring a friend as well! Check out the summer calendar to find out how you can get in on the action!

And if you enjoy reading this Blog, you should think about becoming a youth group blogger. I will be looking for teens and parents to write articles throughout the year. Let me know if you'd be interested!
