Christpower 2008

Hey Everyone,

I know it's been a while since I posted anything. Sorry about that. But, hey...the Christpower Application and information are finally here!

If you don't know, Christpower is a week long service/retreat experience that happens annually in Russellville, MO in July. This year it will be held during the week of July 13-19.

Christpower is open to any high school student and is a tremendous opportunity to deepen your faith. Due to the popularity of the program, I expect the week to fill up fast. I would recommend that you read the cover letter, fill out the application, take care of the pastor referral letter, and send it in with the deposit right away.

Here are the links: (please download all of these)

Prayer, Praise, and Roly Poly

Join us on Monday, August 13th for another installment of Prayer, Praise, and some random food item. This time around, we'll munch on some delicious Roly Poly sandwiches. This will take place in the Haven (above Selinger Centre) from 7:00-8:30pm.

This will be a fun evening of offering our prayers to God, singing our praise to God, and eating sandwiches made from ingredients that were created by God. It's a stretch, but just go with me on it.

Be sure to bring your friends. All high school students are welcome!

Prayer, Praise, and Chicken Wings!

Come spend some time with us this coming Monday night, July 30, for "Prayer, Praise, and Chicken Wings". We'll meet up in the Haven (above Selinger Centre) from 7-8:30pm. Come and eat all the chicken wings you can handle. Other snacks and drinks will be provided.

This is just a chance to come, hang out and spend some time offering your prayers and your praise to God. This activity features a pretty laid back environment, AND it can be your first opportunity to see the newly-furnished Haven.

Any and all high school students (including those going to be freshmen this year) are welcome to come.

Float Trip RESCHEDULED

Due to the fact that there was only one person signed up for original float trip, we have rescheduled it for July 23-24.

This trip, which will cost only $40, will take us to Eminence, MO. We will leave around noon on Monday, July 23rd, stay overnight at Shady Lane Cabins, and float 12 miles on the Current River the next day. Once the float is complete, we'll travel back home. We plan to arrive at approximately 8pm.

The deadline to sign up for this trip will be Sunday, July 15th.

Canoe Trip

Hey Everyone!

This year's canoe trip is swiftly approaching. The dates will be June 26-28. The trip will cost $75. That includes everything but your meal on the way there and the way home.

We'll be floating ten miles each day for two days on the Current River. Once again, we'll be staying at Timber Lodge, which features air conditioning, bunk beds, a game room, a campfire ring, and a lot of room outside to play whatever game you choose.

If you would like to go, please send a check for $75 (made out to St. Peter Church) and a completely filled out permission slip in to the parish office (216 Broadway, Jefferson City, MO 65101) by Sunday, June 17th. To see a permission slip, click here.

1...2...3...DODGEBALL!!!

Hey Everyone,

We had a great time playing dodgeball last night. About 15 teens showed up and got a decent workout. Some got bored and ended up trying to get locked into the freezer (see picture below).

Be sure to join us for our next Youth Group gathering on Tuesday, April 24th. We'll be putting on our "poker" faces for an evening of "Texas Hold 'Em".

Here are some pictures from last night:
