Youth at Saint Peter
The 7th – 8th Grade Youth Group activities are coordinated with the confirmation program and will usually include a couple of field trips and one lock-in each year.
The 9th – 12th Grade Youth Group meets monthly to share a meal, worship, and study and do an activity. In addition to the monthly gathering the group will plan special activities through out the year. Fundraisers for the group include serving Refreshments on Sunday mornings, the Spring Talent Show and Pie Auction and Suppers for Ash Wednesday, Midweek Lent. Each year the group chooses a special outreach project. The group provides opportunity to attend the Annual Fall South Central Synod Youth Convo as well as the ELCA’s National Youth Gathering which is held every three years.
