Middle School Youth Group 2012 
The Youth program at Carmel Presbyterian Church is designed to give the youth of our church and community a safe place to have fun, hang out, learn, and grow. We have a variety of opportunities to meet these needs, including Sunday night youth group, Sunday morning Sunday school, and Wednesday night Bible study.
Our Middle School group serves youth in 6th-8th grade. We meet from 05;00 p.m. -06:00 p.m. on Sunday evenings. Youth group includes games, fellowship, worship, and a lesson. At 06;00 p.m. we offer dinner for those who want to stay. There is a small charge of $3 per person. These meals are prepared by volunteers from the church family, often parents of the youth.
Our High School group serves youth in 9th-12th grade. We meet on Sunday evenings from 6:30-7:30pm. Again anyone who wants can eat dinner at 6pm for $3 per person. Our meeting includes games, fellowship, worship, and a lesson. A syllabus of topics for the semester, and a schedule of all events is available from Dan for both Middle and High School Sunday Evening Youth.
We offer Middle and High school Sunday school classes on Sunday mornings from 9:30a.m. - 10:15 a.m., as well as a Confirmation Class for 9th grade students interested in formally joining the church. Our Wednesday evening Bible Study is for all youth, and gives them an opportunity to learn from scripture and each other and how to apply its teaching in their everyday lives. This fall, the youth will engage in IgniTe discussions on Wednesday nights.
We also have special events that allow youth a chance both to serve and have a good time. A schedule of these events is available from the church website in the "Calendar" section. Please select the interest group "Youth" for a listing of only the Youth activities and events. For further information, please contact our Youth Director Dan Moore

Knowing Nights 
"YOUTH" 06:30 p.m. to 07:15 p.m.
Wednesday evening "Youth" will be a look at how our faith interacts with modern culture. We will use video clips to compare how the world handles daily life situations versus how Scripture recommends we handle them. Our topics will coincide with the "InSPire" series Topics. This time is for all youth, 6th through 12th grade. Hope to see you there !
rAiSiNg AdULTz ... in an age of entitlement This new-er "small group" will meet every two months at the Zidaroff's home in 2012, with weekly "YouTube" clips produced in between. If you missed the January Kick-off dinner, be sure to share with Dan Moore (director of Youth and College-Age Ministries) issues you'd love for him to address on "YouTube". We're aware that you are trying to raise a Christian Adult (while sometimes trying to remainone)! Email Dan Moore with Q's or to be added to his distribution list dmoore@carmelpresbyterian.org.

Up Coming Fall 2011 Events
November 4th-6th: Fall Retreat - Here is the skinny on the Carmel YOUTH's 2011 Fall Retreat
This year, the fall retreat will be held at Cedar Grove Retreat in Kannapolis, N.C. We will be holding a combined retreat with Sharon UMC and Quail Hollow Presbyterian. It will be for both Middle and High School youth, and will have special opportunities for both age groups (we will worship together, but divide up for discussions and games some). It will be the weekend of Nov 4th-6th. We will leave the church Friday evening (between 5:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m.) and eat on the way. Our return will be Sunday by about lunch (12:00 p.m.) time so your families can take you home after worship Sunday morning.
The cost will be $75.00 per person. We may have the opportunity to do some additional activities (ropes course or paintball), but those will be an additional charge for any who want to participate. If the cost is a problem (I know some of you have multiple youth) let me know, and I'll see what I can work out. I will get you a packing list as soon as I can. For those planning to attend, I need a $20.00 deposit by Oct 19, 2011. I will get you any further information as it comes available (I am still working with the other churches on details).
in Him,
