RYM Summer Event Details

Monday Morning Prayer

Our hope is that this rhythm of starting our weeks with morning prayer will help the high schoolers develop a habit of paying attention to God. We know some high schoolers will be working and others will be sleeping and that there’s no perfect time, but we’re planning to meet from 10:30am-noon at the Hill House for morning prayer each Monday this summer, starting June 13- Aug 22, with the exception of July 4^th. After morning prayer, if kids are able, we’ll go out to eat lunch together.

Tuesday Zoomba Chats

We’re pumped to have Melissa Lewkowicz and Faith Howell leading TZC on selected Tuesday afternoons at 3pm. We’re still working on a location, but TZC is open to all 6^th-12^th grade gals. It will be a combo of Zoomba class and chatting about what God’s Word says about body image and other female related topics. (June 28, July 26, Aug 2, Aug 9)

Summer Wednesdays

As you see on the calendar, we’ve planned a different youth activity for each Wednesday this summer.  We’ve planned some in the evenings and some in the daytime to try and allow folks with different schedules to at least be able to attend some of the events. All of these Summer Wednesdays are designed to be community building and super fun, so your kids can feel confident inviting their friends.

Some of the Summer Wednesday events have more details that need to be communicated and those are listed below.

June 22: City Lake Park Waterslides 10-2pm

Meet at the Hill’s House at 10am to ride to City Lake Park or ride with your family and meet us there. Cost is $5/person. Feel free to pack a lunch or bring $ to buy lunch there. We need a few parents to drive so let me know if you're able to come along. The children’s ministry is also spending the morning at City Lake park, so feel free to bring your whole family. The youth will be at the pool and waterslides from 11-1:30 and will return back to my house around 2pm. Bring sunscreen! In case of bad weather, we’ll reschedule.

July 6: Bur-Mil Picnic & Scavenger Hunt 10-1

This event is open to the whole family. Younger kids can play on the playground while the middle and high schoolers compete in a scavenger hunt around the park and some beach vollyeball at Bur-Mil. Bring a bag lunch.

July 27, Hanging Rock Day

On Wednesday, July 27th, we'll be spending the day exploring Hanging Rock State Park. We'll meet at Western High School at 10am and return by 5pm. Bring a bag lunch. I'll need parents to go with me to help chaperone and drive so let me know if you can come along! This is an event for the whole family. We’ll be hiking, swimming and exploring.

Aug 17 Barber Park Bash, 3-7pm

Disc golf, spray ground, cookout, bring the whole family, we’ll cookout and eat together at 6pm.
