August 2025 Newsletter

Our next few summer events (Lake Day @ Dickie's, Hunt for the Blue Gnu), we provide dinner at each one / also need to work out transportation for the Blue Gnu Scavenger Hunt. So instead of emailing each week asking for you to reply to sign-up, I've tried to streamline things and put them all in this sign-up genius linked below! So if you can, take a second to look at the times / dates for each of those events and sign up your students. Also I need adult volunteers for the Hunt for the Blue Gnu so if you can be a driver for this event, you can also sign up at the link below!

Summer Sign-Ups

It's that time of year again, where adults and parents, I need your help on Sunday Nights! We will continue what we have done the past 2 years, where if you are the snack provider, you will also stick around to be the adult volunteer!

Don't want to provide a snack? That's fine! There are multiple Sunday Nights where we don't need a snack provided and you can just be the adult to hang out with us! So check out the link below to sign up!

Sunday Night Adult Volunteers for Youth Group

Each year on the 1st Sunday in August, the LexUMCYouth Takeover both services and thats happening again on Sunday, August 3rd! So look at the options below and please sign up for something your students would be comfortable doing! Please place your students name in the comments! Click the link below to register your student to help!

LUMC Youth Sunday Sign-Ups

Around this time each year I send out a survey asking about dates for the following school year retreats / major youth group events. So see the survey link below. Please note the survey is only 9 questions so it really shouldn't take you very long to complete. Now, I understand that its nearly IMPOSSIBLE to know your calendar for a year from now... but I like to do this just to gather as much information as I can so as we plan for the future, we can best accommodate our group! I value all your input so much, but please understand too I won't be able to please everyone! I will do my best to take the majority answer and apply it to the best decision for our youth group's upcoming trips / major events!
