After a fun-filled summer, the youth were excited to get things going this fall! We started the school year out hanging out together at Starbucks and Handel's the Sunday after school started. We then officially kicked-off Joyotic Youth a couple of weeks later with a super fun Progressive Dinner!

This picture is proof I have the best job ever.
Race Against Time games at youth group as we learned the value of spending time each day with God.
Dollar Menu Dinner Nights are my favorite. I love just hanging out with the teens, sharing a meal, and catching up on life together.
The amazing youth group kids hung out while I was on my missions trip to the Middle East and they sent me and Pastor Matt this! It's says Miss You!
Me and Miss Mariah volunteering at a Farmer's Market for the Stark County Hunger Task Force at Gervasi Vineyard.
The youth wrote reasons we have to praise during our night of prayer at youth group.
"10,000 reasons for my heart to sing" <3
And that's what we've been up to this fall! Lots of fun, spending time together, and growing closer to God as we journey together. Again, I have the best job ever, and am so thankful and so blessed to be working with these amazing teens!
