PYG (Palm Youth Group) is for young people in 6th-12th grade. Friends are always welcome, regardless of religious affiliation, previous youth group experience (or inexperience), church experience (or inexperience), size, shape, color, or head size! PYG will be meeting the 2nd Wednesday and the 4th Sunday of each month. Meetings will run from 6:30-8:30 p.m. and always promise to be entertaining, enlightening, and just plain fun! They will include some serious craziness and some serious seriousness. Games will be played, fun will be had, and friendships will be formed and strengthened...all while continuing to learn and grow on your faith journey! Be on the lookout for more information in your Sunday worship bulletins. Oh, and there will be pizza! |

 CAMP NEWS Attention Campers and kids who haven't yet camped! Our camps at Kirchenwald and Nawakwa have a great variety of experiences available again this year. At Kirchenwald you can spend the week living in the tree house or the lakeside outpost and live like a pirate. Nawakwa offers Blast Off, rocketry of course, and Wild Things. There are lots of other programs and certainly one to fit your personality. The early registration deadline, for $15 off the prices, is April 6th. If you didn't get a camping brochure in the mail, see Jeanette Yewdall for more information and a great start to camp. New this year is a family camp at Kirchenwald. Great things happen at camp. Consider it!
Summer Camp Open House at Kirchenwald & Nawakwa Sunday, April 14th 2:00-4:30 p.m.
You are invited to visit Kirchenwald or Nawakwa on March 17th or April 14th. Take a tour of camp with members of their summer staff and see what camp is all about!

ATTENTION!
PYG is looking for interested people of any age (yes, that means younger people, older people, sons, daughters, moms, dads, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and anyone else interested as well – even those without children – but with a desire to serve) to help plan, coordinate, and carry out events for the young people of PYG. This "Youth Ministry Committee" (YMC) will meet on a monthly basis in an effort to help PYG in those events/experiences where we may need help: planning, coordinating, and offering input on meeting logistics, chaperones/drivers to and from events, fundraisers, and anything and everything related to PYG. There is no membership requirement and no initiation :-). You just need a servant's heart and a willingness to be open to pitching in for whatever is needed to further the faith lives of those young people in and around Palm. Those interested in helping serve on the YMC may email me at: youth.director@palmlutheran.org. The first YMC meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, September 14th, from 6-8PM at my house (6340 Clearfield Street, Harrisburg, PA 17111). |

Our hope is that parents will stay and join us rather than run home
and then back again or just sit in the car! Phyllis Verderame,
assisted by Jeannette Thomas, will lead the group in studying Psalms
in a prayerful and meditative way. We will meet in the Narthex. It
should be a wonderful 30 minutes to bring the weekend to a close and
get prepared for the busyness of the week ahead. 
This
summer we will again take members of our Children’s and Youth Choirs to
the Massanetta Church Music Conference. The conference also includes a
college-aged program called Pumped Up! This fun-filled and educational
activity will take place at Massanetta Springs Conference Center in
Harrisonburg, VA from July 28th thru August 2nd. The theme of the
conference is "A World of Praise" and will focus on music that spans the
globe. The young people will have the opportunity to work with
nationally known clinicians such as Tim Waugh and Mark Sedio as well as
participate in camp adventures and bible study. Palm's Youth are collecting aluminum can tabs for the Ronald McDonald House of Hershey. If you have can tabs you would like to donate, please drop them in the clearly-marked bin in the Narthex!
