June 2010 UUYouth News

Well, here is the end of the Youuth RE year! Man, it went by fast. We learned a lot, about ourselves, the youth and how to do things. We had a successful year and I know we enjoyed ourselves. We want to congratulate Stormy O'Brink and Elise Hanson on graduating from high school. They are both attending UNI in the fall. Good luck to you both, you will be missed!
Thank you to all who have bought baked good from us over this past year! The Youuth have raised $242 this year toward their trip to Chicago in 2011. Thank you again. I know we may have not helped your waist lines, but you ate the calories for a good cause!
Kevin and I are off to Des Moines to train for OWL (Our Whole Life). We will be teaching 9-12th grades OWL starting in the Fall. We have heard wonderful things about this program and are excited (and a little nervous) to become teachers. The parents and students will be receiving more information on this closer to the fall. In addition to OWL, the Youuth will be exploring other religions next year. We hope to learn about the most popular religion, to the oddest to the smallest religion. No religion will go untouched!
We are looking forward to welcoming Hannah and Grace into the Youth room next year!!! It will be a fun and exciting year, plus Kevin and I kind of know what we are doing now!
Have a fantastic summer and we will see you in the Fall for Sunday School!
Peace,
Angie Stafsholt
