Welcome to Palm's Youth Page
Palm's Youth Ministry program is part of the Family Life Ministry.   Youth programs are designed for 1st through 12th graders, and are age-appropriate.  During the year, a wide variety of youth activities and programs are available. 

It's NEVER too late to join youth group!  The door is always open and we welcome  new and familiar faces.  Please join us for fun-filled fellowship, faith and friendship!

Parents / Youth ... there's no better way to keep track of all the activities being planned for Palm's Youth this year than via e-mail.  If you would like to receive updates of Youth Group Meeting dates, reminders of planned activities, and the monthly calendar of events, please e-mail Sara Robinson, Director of Youth Ministry at youth.director@palmlutheran.org.

Mark your calendars for Palmyra's annual CROP Walk to help fight world hunger.  A percentage of funds raised will go directly to the Caring Cupboard of Palmyra.  All ages are encouraged to participate.  Palm's Youth has participated the past few years and are hoping to get more members of Palm involved.  Please consider participating this year.  It's also a great activity for families.  More information to follow.

  

 
 
Volunteers Needed!

As part of our fellowship here at Palm, we would once again like to provide dinner for our youth on Sunday evenings to coincide with our Children's and Youth Choirs and Youth Group.  In previous years, parents have graciously volunteered to help provide meals.  We are asking for help again this year.  Meals do not have to be elaborate.  There are approximately 35 youth so plan accordingly.  A sign-up sheet will be posted on the bulletin board upstairs by the Choir Room.  Volunteers will be reimbursed up to $75.  If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact Sara Robinson or Suzy Fox.  Thank you in advance to those who are willing to help!
