Informational Meeting on 2012 Youth Gathering

On Wednesday, May 25, at 7:00 p.m. at First Lutheran Church there will be an informational meeting about the 2012 ELCA National Youth Gathering in New Orleans. The youth advisors have been working with the advisors from Bethlehem Lutheran Church of Newfolden on a possible trip together to this triennial event. All interested youth and parents are welcome.

2011 Graduates

Hunter, Daltyn, and Breanna graduated from Tri-County High School of Karlstad on June 5 while Katie graduated from Marshall County Centeral High School of Newfolden on May 29, thus the difference in robes. All cheer the Northern Freeze teams composed of students at both schools. This picture was taken at the First Lutheran Church graduate reception on May 22.

Lenten Suppers etc.

The youth group had another very successful series of Wednesday night Lenten suppers this year. Thank you to all the youth and to the parents who came to help serve. Those who come for Lenten services greatly appreciate the opportunity to share a supper together with the youth. During the season of Lent the youth group also went bowling in Thief River Falls and before Lent began there was a very nice ice skating party at the Karlstad rink. The 9th graders also thank Jan Berg for taking them on her annual confirmation shopping trip in April. We are still waiting for the picture of the 9th graders with their bunny ears at the movie "Hop" in EGF.
