Youth Programs at St. Paul’s are a vibrant part of our ministry. Ably directed by Kelly Moore-Spencer, they engage teenagers in the life of the church here at home and open their eyes to the Lutheran community at large.

Jr & Sr High Youth Group: Faith and Life
Grades 6 through 12
Sunday, September 21st, 6pm – 8pm

On Sunday, September 21st, from 6pm to 8pm, we will gather for an evening of faith and fellowship.  Our theme for the evening is “Highs and Lows of Summer.” We will start by making our own homemade pizzas. This will not only be a delicious meal but also a great way to create fellowship together. Each youth will have the opportunity to create their own pizza, choosing from a variety of toppings that they like.  As we enjoy our homemade pizzas, we will engage in meaningful conversations around the table reflecting on our summer highs and lows, focusing on where we experienced God in our lives.

I look forward to seeing everyone and hearing about your summer.

Recently, older students from our sister congregation in Tanzania have traveled to Central PA to be counselors at the camps. It is a wonderful exchange of cultures and worship practices.

Camp fun!
The Patterson family had a wonderful time at family camp this year. We went to just half a week and It exceeded our expectations. The worship, activities, food and accommodations were wonderful. All of the staff and other families were so friendly. We didn’t want to leave! We will definitely be going back next year and for the whole week next time.
