Youth Rally
Holston Presbytery
August 10, 2008
First Presbyterian Church
110 N. Main Street Greeneville
The Bush Won’t Burn, And I’m Out of Matches (Decision Making) Wouldn’t it be great if God would just tell us what to do like he did with Moses. Yes, it takes a lot to get our attention, but that’s what the burning bush was for. So, without matches then how do I make the right decision about all the issues I face?

Schedule:
2:30 Registration, Recreation & Welcome
2:45 It’s already begun
3:30 Message/Small Groups, Refreshments
5:00 Closing Worship
5:30 Continue onward sharing your faith

Planning Team:John Shuck (Director, Elizabethton)
Donna Hunter (adult, Erwin)
Lynnea Hunter & John Cary (adult/youth, Covenant)
Carly Shaw & Emily Morrell (youth, Timber Ridge)
Vivian Haile & Deborah Sheffey (adults, Elizabethton)
Rachel Donaldson (youth, Greeneville)
Jim Kirkpatrick (Staff)

Directions: From Johnson City area, take the 11E bypass through Jonesborough and into Greeneville. Landmarks before turning off 11E include a BP station on the right. You need to take a left onto West Main Street, Rt. 321 business. Go through three lights and FPC Greeneville is on the left. From Morristown area, take 11E bypass. At the Rt. 70 So. Interchange take 11E business into the downtown. Left on N. Main. Several blocks and church will be on right. Park beside or behind the church.

Event Purpose: to help youth groups connect with other churches, to broaden youth’s understanding of their church; to develop leadership within Holston Presbytery, and to provide an outreach opportunity for young people by inviting their friends. We will conduct a safe, fun event through which we can celebrate our faith.

Summer and Fall

Hey Everyone!

Here's what's up:

There are no regular meetings in June or July. But we will have three events:

1. Hike to Grassy Ridge on Saturday, June 21st. We hope everyone can come out for this.
2. Church retreat with events for youth, Saturday, June 28th.
3. Overnight camping for youth, July 25th and 26th (Friday-Saturday).
   

For the school year:

1. We begin with the Holston Presbytery Youth Rally, August 10th in Greeneville.
2. A day service project to Asheville on some Saturday this Fall.
   
3. A big trip to Atlanta over the Martin Luther King, Jr. weekend, Jan. 17-19, 2009.

Here is the big question. It has been suggested that we have our youth meetings for both middle school and senior high during the 11:00 hour on Sunday, like the other religious education classes. This would be our regular meeting. Then, at least once per month, we would have some other event (overnight, fun event, service event). The idea is that we might more easily swing that then trying to get regular evening meetings on Sundays.

Let's think about this over the summer. We can work on things to do such as folks to lead the middle school and the senior high (Martin Hall and the Tom Dixon Room are not being used at that time). We can work on curriculum and of course planning for our service projects.

I am on vacation and will return mid-June. We can talk further then!

Youth Rally Planning Team

I have been asked to be the director of the youth rally this coming August. We have gone to the last two. This is the big event that starts off the school year and connects middle and high school youth from around the presbytery. I am putting together a team to plan for it.

I am wondering if any of you, youth or adults, would like to help me plan for this. I asking other youth and adults around the presbytery to help with the planning as well.

The requirements would be:

1. ONE planning meeting on Tuesday June 17th at 7 p.m. (probably at the campus house), and
2. Attendance at the Rally which will be at First Presbyterian Church, Greeneville, on the afternoon of Sunday, August 10th.
   

The big thing is your availability for both of these dates. Can you help us out?

Please let me know ASAP by returning this e-mail or by calling my cell at 943-0634. I am going on vacation for three weeks beginning Monday so I need to take care of this over the weekend. If you say YES then Jim Kirkpatrick will send you a reminder early in June.

Here is the blog entry from last year's rally!

Thanks!
John

Final Meeting Before Summer

Hey Everyone!

Our final meeting before summer is Sunday, May 25th at 5:30. We will make a quick summer event schedule.

Natalie and Allison Sheffey invite you to watch them play softball this Friday. The Ramblers will be playing 3 games Friday night at Winged Deer Park starting at 6:00. The admission is 5.00 per person but I will see if I can get a "group rate" if any of the youth come.

How many can make it? Let me or Deborah Sheffey know! It will be fun to cheer them on!

Who else has cool stuff going on this summer? Let me know so I can put it on the blog. We want to be there for each other!

Holston Camp News

Announcing ... TWO additional summer programs for 2008!

PATHFINDERS;

a Main Camp summer program for youth 10-11 years.

June 15-20 and July 6 -11!

Dear Campers, Parents, and Camp fans:

Camp will now offer TWO additional summer programs for 2008! Pathfinders, a Main Camp program for youth 10-11 years, will take place June 15-20 and July 6–11.

After reviewing camper enrollment for this summer, including Pathfinders proved to be an easy addition. Many camp supporters find a choice to be in Main Camp essential for this age group. And, many families want an opportunity to bring all of their children to camp on the same week, especially with increasing gas prices. We planned to address these concerns with the 2009 schedule, but decided to take advantage of this year's program flexibility.

Finding a set of choices that enable you to attend your camp is our highest priority. Families who already registered for camp are welcome to choose different sessions. To do this, contact our office. We look forward to sharing this summer with you!

Thank you for communicating with us about these concerns.

Valerie

May Calendar

Here is what is on tap for youth in May:

Dinner and Movie! Friday, May 9th at 6 p.m. Youth are encouraged to come at 5:15 to help us serve and set up. Can you help?

Virginia Creeper Trail! Saturday, May 10th.

Youth Groups:

The Holston Valley Unitarian Universalist Senior High Youth Group has invited us to watch the film, Why We Fight? on May 16th.

Their youth have been doing some great work with the Department of Peace. They led worship in their church regarding it a couple weeks ago. Here is the announcement and invitation:

"The HVUUC Senior High Youth Group invites you to a showing of the film, "Why We Fight" Friday night, May 16th, 7 p.m. in the HVUU Sanctuary. Refreshments will be provided. Discussion will be invited. The movie had a big effect on many of us when we watched it at our social action retreat in January, and we would like everyone to have a chance to see it. In promoting the U.S. Department of Peace, at the very least, we seek a balance of interests from our government."

So what is going on in your life? Anything we can cheer you on about? If you are in any sports, band, or other activities, we want to put them on our schedule.

Let me know! E-mail me!

May Meetings for Youth

Hey Everyone!

I think that we are now finally getting on schedule. During May, I see no conflicts, so we are going to have youth group meetings every Sunday from 5:30-6:30 with separate meetings for Middle School and High School. So get it on your calendars!

Also, we have some other events in the church that are cool.

Friday night, May 9th is Dinner and a Movie. This will be the opening celebration of our new audio/visual equipment! Dinner at 6, movie at 7.

Saturday, May 10th is the Viriginia Creeper Trail Bike Ride. We have 30 signed up already. This will be a blast. The ride starts at 11:00 a.m.

Earth Day Hike This Sunday!!!

This Sunday (April 27th), Youth (both senior highs and middle school) will meet after worship. We are going to participate in the Earth Day Hike from Hampton to Dennis Cove! So, grab a lunch after church or bring one or whatever. Make sure you bring a water bottle and good hiking clothes.

Wednesday Film, Anyone?

Movie at Milligan. Are any of you interested in attending the film, panel discussion and pizza afterward? I know it is kind of late and a school night. Let me know, ASAP, by replying to this e-mail!

For the Bible Tells Me So at Milligan College

Milligan College (Elizabethton, TN) is going to show the film, For the Bible Tells Me So, this Wednesday evening. Here is the news from Andy Olivo, a Milligan Student, who blogs at Fides Quaerens Intellectum, a key player in making this happen. It must have taken some effort, but kudos to Andy and others for pulling it off:

Our President and Dean of Students approved our showing of the documentary, and we have four wonderful faculty on board to lead the post movie discussion. We will be showing it at 7pm in Wilson Auditorium on the Milligan College campus this Wednesday, April 23rd.

Here is the synopis of the film:

Can the love between two people ever be an abomination? Is the chasm separating gays and lesbians and Christianity too wide to cross? Is the Bible an excuse to hate? Through the experiences of five very normal, very Christian, very American families -- including those of former House Majority Leader Richard Gephardt and Episcopal Bishop Gene Robinson -- we discover how insightful people of faith handle the realization of having a gay child. Informed by such respected voices as Bishop Desmond Tutu,Harvard's Peter Gomes, Orthodox Rabbi Steve Greenberg and Reverend Jimmy Creech, FOR THE BIBLE TELLS ME SO offers healing, clarity and understanding to anyone caught in the crosshairs of scripture and sexual identity.

Here is the trailer:

Ever helpful, Andy even included directions:

Directions to Wilson Auditorium:

• When turning into the main entrance of campus take main road up and park in large parking lot on the right in front of Hardin Hall and across from the Welshimer Library.
• Take the stairs up to the front of Hardin Hall and the Wilson Auditorium is in Hardin Hall through the double doors on the left of the building.
• If all else fails, find a student and ask them where Wilson Auditorium is!

So get the word out and I hope to see you Wednesday!

Sunday Meeting at the Movies

Hey Everybody!

The Creating a Culture of Peace workshop will be in the church on Sunday. So we are going to go to the movies on Sunday. I messed up. I thought Prince Caspian was opening this weekend, but it is not until next month.

So here we go, the reviews have been great!


Horton Hears a Who! (showtime 3:10 at Carmike 14 in Johnson City!)

See you there!

Remember, a person's a person, no matter how small.

Day of Silence

Hey youth.

I posted this over at the PFLAG Tri-Cities blog. We had 50 people including high school students at our first meeting last night!

The Day of Silence is April 25th.

The National Day of Silence brings attention to anti-LGBT name-calling, bullying and harassment in schools. This year’s event will be held in memory of Lawrence King, a California 8th-grader who was shot and killed Feb. 12 by a classmate because of his sexual orientation and gender expression. Hundreds of thousands of students will come together on April 25 to encourage schools and classmates to address the problem of anti-LGBT behavior.

You can read the latest updates on the Day of Silence Blog.

A couple of high school students attended our PFLAG Tri-Cities meeting last night and shared a bit about the harassment lgbtq students experience. The Day of Silence is a good day for straight allies to speak out by not saying a thing.

Find ways to get involved by going to the Day of Silence website.

Check out this public service announcement:

Youth Stuff for this Weekend!

Hey Everybody!

This Saturday night (April 12) is the big square dance! It is going to be a blast. Square dancing may sound, kind of, well, square. But it is fun. And you don't need to know how. You will be taught. And it will be in Martin Hall with a live band. It is for all ages. So bring your friends!

The caller is Jim Kirkpatrick. Jim is a friend of mine. He runs the Presbyterian Campus Ministry at ETSU and is the staff person for our presbytery's youth programming. They do some great things. He has taken college youth to the area devastated by Katrina several different times--plus many other places.

Anyway, you will get a chance to meet him.

Also, he is going to be at youth group Sunday night with Jason Reece (a high school student) to talk about all the stuff that is going on with youth in Holston presbytery.

So, two things:

Saturday night dance at church at 7 p.m.

Sunday youth group from 5:30-6!

Be there or be square.

...ooops

Youth Stuff!

OK, this Sunday, the sanctuary is in use for the Creating a Culture of Peace thing, and both Vivian and I are in it. So I need a favor. Can someone help with the youth for this Sunday, say by going for a movie?

For example, 3 p.m. Bonnie Kate "Horton Hears a Who"

Here is what is playing at Carmike. This would be an all ages family event. Then we will be back for our regular 5:30 - 6:30 meeting on April 13.

Also, I am going to serve as an adult on the Holston Presbytery Youth Council. We could use one more adult (hint, hint) and youth (hint, hint, hint). Here is the application.

On June 8-14, I am going to go to Montreat for the Youth Conference. 1000 other senior highs will be there. Should be great! I don't want to be lonely and have no one from my church go (guilt, guilt).

Here is the web page for that.

I know that some of you have been to youth conferences in which they want to "save you" and whatever. This isn't like that.

If anyone tries to save you, I promise I will un-save you again!

Youth Will Meet on Sunday

Even though I am on vacation, senior high and middle school youth will meet from 5:30-6:30 this Sunday. Vivian Haile is leading the senior highs. I don't know if Paul Gabinet will get this, but if you do, Paul, do you think you might help Vivian with the movie system? Senior highs are doing the Gospel According to Harry Potter.

I was supposed to get someone to do middle school, but didn't. If one of you fine folks wants to help with middle school this week, great; otherwise they will be with senior high for this week only.

I purchased a number of youth resources that are in the Sunday School room. Games, fundraising ideas, programs.

See you all the next week!
John

Youth Council

I received this from Jim Kirkpatrick. I am hoping that at least one of our parents and one or two of our senior highs will be on the Youth Council of the Presbytery. This will be a good thing for us to get connected with the youth of the presbytery. We can do a lot of good things together. Jim Kirkpatrick is a cool guy!

Let me know if you are interested, and I will get word to him ASAP.

Here is a message from him:

TO: those who minister with youth

FROM: Jim Kirkpatrick

DATE: March 10, 2008

Please be reminded that the deadline for getting in the applications for membership on Holston Presbytery's Youth Council is fast approaching. The Council will meet this Saturday morning to elect its new members. Therefore, if you have not already gotten your applications in then please be reminded. We are looking for 8 youth and 2 adults who are very committed to ministry.

Particularly with the youth we are looking for young people whom you believe will grow up to take over the church, or in other words, will become the leaders of our church. We are also looking for adults who are very serious (in a fun way) about their commitment to help young people to grow up in a Christlike manner and to become the leaders of their grandchildren.

You may fax the attached application to 815.572.8805, bring it (them) by the Campus House, e-mail to my address, or send to P O Box 23024, Johnson City TN 37614.

We Will Meet Sunday, March 16

Hey Everyone!

OK, we are on for youth group tomorrow (Sunday--March 16) at 5:30-6:30 in Martin Hall. We will divide up into middle school and senior high. I will take middle school and Vivian, can you take senior high?

If someone wants to bring a snack, great. If not, I will get something. We can make some kind of schedule for both middle school and senior high!

See you then!

A Note from Jason Reese

I met Jason Reese at Presbytery this morning. He is a senior at Daniel Boone and a student at ETSU (isn't that wild!) He is also a member at Jonesborough Presbyterian. Anyway, he is excited about getting us involved with the presbytery.

It was so cool of him to send me this e-mail after I got home!


Hey John, this is Jason Reese. I'm sending you a copy of the 2008 Senior High Retreat and Montreat promotions (attached) and a link to the Youth Council application.

The Senior High Retreat is going to be really great this year. We're having a joint retreat with the youth from Presbytery of Western North Carolina, who are leading recreation. March 28-30

Montreat is also an amazing time. I've had the best week of my life there, and I know others have too. June 8-14

The youth council plans the SH Retreat, in addition to many other events. We have a lot of fun but also work hard to provide our ministry to the youth in Holston Presbytery. The applications are due by March 15th (the date of our next meeting). YC meets four times a year (September, January, March, May) and has a leadership workshop at Holston Camp in October. YC is a great way to provide connections between youth and adults and members meet a lot of new and wonderful people.

If you or your youth group have any questions please ask!

Update on Movie

Hey Everyone!

We are going to see Juno this Friday night (Feb. 29). It seems like the 7:35 show gets the nod at Carmike. Thanks to Vivian Haile for volunteering to be our Senior High Youth Coordinator! We are looking for a Middle School Youth Coordinator.

Senior Highs and Middle School will meet at the same time but each will have different programs and activities, Sunday nights from 5:30-6:30. We will NOT meet this Sunday.

Senior highs! Check out the flier for the senior high retreat at Holston Camp and the Montreat Youth Conference on the Youth Page.

Youth Stuff

Hey Everyone!

Thanks to Pat and Buddy Humphreys for a super presentation on drugs. That wraps up "Sex, Drugs, and Rock and Roll." What now?

OK, we are going to be meeting Sundays from 5:30-6:30 and we will split up the groups into middle school and high school with a program for each. This coming Sunday, March 2nd will be an exception as the Martin Hall is in use.

So for this weekend, Friday February 29th, we are going to watch the film, "Juno" at Carmike in Johnson City. What is better the 5:25 or 7:35 show?

For senior highs, get two things on your calendar. The first is the senior high retreat at Holston Camp March 28, 29, and 30. This is for grades 9-12. It is a great weekend. I will go if at least one goes from our church. Bring a friend.

Finally, the Montreat Youth Conference is June 8-14 in Montreat, NC. Holston presbytery is going that week. It is going to be a great thing. Again, I have been asked to go with the presbytery. I will if at least one goes. This is also for senior highs, rising 9th through 12th.

Here are the details. This will be really, really, good! Talk it over and let me know soon so we can do some fundraising for it! Guess the theme with this YouTube! Here is a promotional video made by a youth group from Cincinnati.

So we are on for every week, plus extra events. Make sure First Pres. Youth is a regular part of your life!

Sam is 13!!

Hey Everyone!

Samantha "Sam" Davison invites us all to her birthday party, Sunday February 17th from 2-4 p.m. at ETSU's Center for Physical Activity (near the Mini Dome). There is a swimming pool and climbing wall.

This will be our youth group for the 17th. We will meet again on the 24th from 5:30-7 when we will continue the drugs part of Sex, Drugs, and Rock and Roll.

Here are the details for this Sunday the 17th:

To make sure they have enough lifeguards on duty, call Patti or Bob (Sam's parents) at 773-7723 before Wednesday the 13th!!

This is from Sam:

Instead of a gift for me, celebrate my 13th birthday by bringing something to donate to the animal shelter. The shelter is always thankful for: dog/cat toys; puppy/kitty food; dog/cat food; rawhide chews; kitty litter; bleach and detergent; old blankets; and monetary gifts.

See you then!! Thanks Sam for being born!

Sunday, February 10th!

Hey Everyone!

Don't forget today at 2 p.m. we meet at the Gray Fossil Site! $9 for a tour. Then at five-thirty to seven, we finish Sex, Drugs, and Rock and Roll at the church! See you!

Mardi Gras Tomorrow Night!

Hey Everybody!

This will be a kick! Come to Mardi Gras tomorrow night, 6 p.m. Bring your friends. Food, music, dancing, masks--you'll love it!

See you Tuesday at 6 p.m.!!!

Do you think church would be more entertaining if I preached like this guy?

Youth Overnight Update

Hey Everyone!

I reserved six lanes (six persons per lane) at Holiday Lanes in Johnson City for Friday night's Cosmic Bowling. We have them reserved for midnight to 3 a.m. I can get more if needed, if I let them know very soon, like tomorrow or Wednesday. Even if we have more than 36 we can switch around.

Now, I need to take some reservations even if they are maybes. Here is who I have going so far:

Travis and eleven friends. (It is his birthday, so we are giving him a big party!)
Jason and maybe a friend
Taylor and a friend
Allison S. and a friend
Natalie and a friend
Rion and two friends
Pat and a friend
Kirby and two friends
Heidi and two friends
Isaac
Dylan
Sam
Merilee
Alison W.

Who am I missing? This is from memory. So let me know if I missed you or missed if you are bringing a friend or not. Also, I know Heidi and Kirby and friends are just going for the bowling.

Here is the schedule:

8 pm church
9 pm movie at church
11:30 on the road to bowling
3:00 am on the road back to church
4:00 am sleep? (I hope!)
9:00 am wake up!
10:00 parents pick up.

I see I may need to get another lane or two already, especially since parents will want to bowl as well.

Now, parents: who can drive and how many can you take?

All right. Next item. Come to Sunday School (9:45 am) as we make plans for Mardi Gras. There will be S.S. at 9:45 every Sunday!!!

Item three:
We just had our Christian Education meeting. Incredible job, Linda! We want to keep youth group going. This schedule seems to work well. So, we are going to have youth group from 5:30 - 7 pm every Sunday. I will work with other adults to keep it happening. We will have some fun discussion, games, plan for big events. We will break up into middle school and high school.

On the tenth, we finish sex, drugs and rock and roll, then move on to other cool topics. I want to plan a big trip to Atlanta (?) this summer. I have some ideas.

So...Friday night overnight and bowling
No group Sunday the 3rd. Watch the Super Bowl.
We start again the 10th and every week following!!!!

Cool!

Youth Overnight!

Hey Everyone!

This Sunday, the 27th, parents need to come with youth for the last session on the sex part of Sex, Drugs, and Rock & Roll. This has been an excellent series and this is the chance to open up lines of communication about these things. So, parents and youth from 5:30-7:00. Then, pizza for everyone at 7 p.m. Parents are encouraged to bring their favorite Rock and Roll tunes (cds, mp3s, etc.) and we will have a rock off, (one parent tune, one youth tune and so on).

Friday night (February 1) we are going to have an overnight that will start at 8 p.m. at the church. We will do some games, watch the classic film, "School of Rock" and at 11:30 we will go to Holiday Lanes in Johnson City for Cosmic Bowling from midnight to 3 a.m!! We will celebrate Travis Marshall's birthday there! Then back to the church for sleep. Breakfast at nine a.m. Parents pickup at ten a.m.

I am going to need some transportation to and from the church to the bowling alley. If parents can help me with that part, you won't need to stay the night.

The bowling costs $45 per lane. We can have six people per lane. Bowling will be $7.50 per person. You all need to pay for your own bowling. The rest will be covered with our youth budget. I need a number of bowlers to reserve the lanes.

So, I need to know who is coming and if you are bringing a friend. I need their names too and I need you all (including friends) to download and fill out the permission form and consent form on the youth page.

Let me know this Sunday if you are going to be there! It'll be great!!

More Sex, Drugs, and R&R this Sunday!

Hey,

What an awesome Sunday! We had a great turnout for the Sex, Drugs, and Rock & Roll deal. Are not Mr. and Mrs. Cope the coolest? We are at it again this Sunday at 5:30 to 7:00 with Rock and Roll Pizza to follow from 7:00- 7:30.

Bring your favorite tunes on an ipod, mp3, or cd so we can plug them into our sound system.

See you then!
