Upcoming Events

Feb 8, Wed:  WNL (Wednesday Night Live) 6:30-8pm at The Hairy. "The Hairy" is our new youth meeting space (named after being a former Hair Salon.) It's located  in the back of the small strip mall across from Target on Lawndale, behind the BP gas station. Coming south on Lawndale, turn Left on Independence before you get to Target, and then make a quick Right into the back of the shopping center, its G-2606. Here's a map.  Please send $3-5 each week with your child for pizza/drinks.  After school pickup of the middle school boys is on as usual today from Greensboro Academy, Kernodle, and Caldwell.

Feb 8, Wed: The Tarheels crush DOOK at 9pm.

Feb 12, Sun:  Our 1st Sojourn JAM at Bur-Mil Wildlife Center. 6th-12th graders start in worship with adults and are dismissed after music to walk down the hill to the Wildlife center. We will attempt to bring the kids back to the clubhouse by the end of service at 11:45, but if we are not back by the time you need to leave, feel free to drive your car around and pick up your child from the Wildlife center. No JAM at Redeemer. 

Feb 14, Tues: Starting on Valentine's day Middle School Gals Bible Study on Tuesday nights, 7-8pm. This 4 week series will be led by Redeemer Youth Ministry intern Leeann Mangum and another HPU college student from Redeemer named CJ Blanton.  RSVP to Leeann at mangua09@highpoint.edu. The small group will only meet for 4 weeks on Tuesday nights and be held at the home of Logan and Eloise Porter.  603 Elmwood Dr Greensboro, NC 27408. 

Feb 15, Wed: NO JAM OR AFTER SCHOOL PICKUP NEXT WEDNESDAY Feb 15th. We will periodically not meet on Wednesday nights. This is a strategic decision to keep Wednesday nights fresh, feeling like a special event and a privilege.  We are also preparing to enter the season of Lent and will be meeting for 6 straight weeks on Wednesday nights, so this will be our last Wednesday night off for 2 months. 

Feb 18, Sat: 8am-4pm Work Day at 'The Hairy.'  We will be knocking down drywalls, glass, etc... Please bring gloves and any tools you have. This is open to the whole church. I don't have much expertise in the area of demolition, so I will be looking to many of you for help. Please see the bottom of this email for a list of items we're looking to be donated to The Hairy.

Feb 18, Sat night: Redeemer Parents Night Out: The Redeemer Youth and Youth team will be babysitting at the Grove for Redeemer parents

Feb 19, Sun: JAM at both Redeemer & Sojourn

Feb 21, Tues: Middle School Gals' Bible Study at the Porters. (2nd of 4)

Feb 22, Wed: Beginning on Feb 22, we will meet for 6 Wednesday nights at Bur Mill, instead of The Hairy, during the season of Lent with the church bodies from both Redeemer and Sojourn.  On Feb 22nd we will have an Ash Wednesday service with no meal since this is traditionally a day of fasting. The youth and adults will meet together for this service from 6-7pm

Feb 26, Sun: JAM at Sojourn, not at Redeemer.

Feb 28, Tues: Middle School Gals' Bible Study at the Porters. (3rd of 4)

March 25, Sun: "UNDERSTANDING YOUR TEENAGERS," A seminary for parents of teenagers by Drew Hill. 6-8pm at The Grove. Let me tell you what your kids are telling me. We'll be discussing the following topics: A Parent's Guide To Social Media; Talking With Your Teen about Sex; Destructive Behaviors: Cutting, Drugs, Alcohol; Understanding How To Motivate The Teenage Brain. This will be a timely opportunity for you to invite your friends in the community who are experiencing the mystery of parenting teenagers.

July 9-14 or July 16-21: Potential summer camp dates. We've researched MANY camp options and are currently leaning towards "Snowbird Wilderness Outfitters."

Our survey from last week indicated that less than 5 students would be able to attend camp if it were on either of these dates. Would you please email me this week at YLDrew@gmail.com  and let me know if your child would want to go either of those weeks. The cost would be around $399, but we will do necessary fundraising.
