Happy September, Valley Youth!
We are so eager to get back to weekly Youth Group. We love seeing our group grow in Faith and Fellowship, and we’re gearing up for another great school year of pointing each other toward Jesus.
September Fellowship Dinner
Sunday, Sept 17 from 5-7 PM, join us at the church for our September fellowship event. We’ll have dinner, play some games, re-connect as a group, and welcome new friends. You don’t need to bring anything, but please sign up if you plan on coming so we know how much food to buy! RSVP – sign up in the atrium or by replying to this email. See you there!
Wednesday Nights Start This Week
A note about Wednesday Night Dinners
Our office staff and their small army of volunteers are working hard to be able to provide dinner for all of us at the church before each Wednesday gathering. To do this, they need to know how many of us are planning on eating at the church.
We’d love to have you join us for dinner before Youth Group!
Please sign up if you plan to come!
In order to give our friends plenty of time to prepare food, we must sign up for each week we plan to eat, and we need to sign up a week ahead of time. Plans for the 9/13 meal are already finalized. If you’d like to join us for future Wednesday meals, please sign up either in the atrium or by emailing office@valleycc.org BIG THANKS TO JACKIE AND AMY AND ALL THE VOLUNTEERS THAT ARE MAKING THIS HAPPEN!
We love you and we’re praying for you! Can’t wait to start another great year of Valley Youth Group!
God bless you,
Christina and Becky

Hello, Valley Youth and Families!
Can you believe August is half over?
We have one more fun youth gathering before fall. At 6:00 on Wednesday August 23rd, meet at Crystal Lake Beach for a cookout, devotion and swimming. Bring your appetite and a beach towel. :)
(yes, this is a change from the original plan that we published back in May. We can remind each other of what's true about God during a cookout at the beach, too, right? :) )
Please let us know if you're planning on joining us if you haven't already so we have enough food. You can sign up in the atrium or reply to this email.
God bless you; we hope to see you there!
Jason, Christina, and Becky

Good Afternoon!
I'm sure I don't have to remind anyone that summer is almost over *sob*. So let's get down to our last few events before we start fall programming.
Tonight! The Dakota County Fair -- meet at church at 6pm, and then parents please plan on picking your kids up at 9:30. If you did NOT sign up but would like to go, please reach out to Christina directly for ride information.
Sunday, August 13 - Annual Meeting
No, the youth are not expected to sit through this meeting. BUT! If they are stuck at church while their parents sit through the meeting, we would love to have those youth help with the set up and serving of the pizza.
Wednesday, August 23 - this is our final event of the summer! Instead of meeting at church, drop your youth off at Crystal Lake Beach for a cookout, devotion, and swimming. Bring an appetite, and towel! Please sign up at church so that we can plan for food.
And after that we will have a short break before we begin meeting regularly on Wednesday nights for the fall. As always, let us know if you have any questions.
Love in Christ -
Becky, Christina and Jason
