7th and 8th Graders

From the Youth Minister's Desk
Hi, 7th and 8th graders, I'm Amy Schneider, the Youth Minister here at St. Mary's. Do you ever feel like you're the forgotten group? Well no more! This year there are plenty of recreation, service, and worship activities for you to take part in. You probably have a lot going on - school, friends, family, sports and all that goes along with growing up. If these areas are important to you, then youth ministry is important to you. We provide a safe environment where everyone can feel welcome and a part of something great. Our goal is that every young person can come to understand their own goodness and the needed contribution they can make to each other and this world. Come be a part of an organization built around helping others, having fun, and making new friends. Come give Youth Ministry a chance!
