Youth Group
Receiving and giving the love and hope of Christ, SPLYouth.Group seeks to
- be involved in the life of the body of Christ
- provide for teen’s spiritual growth and nurture
- and promote genuine Christian fellowship.
SPLYouth.Group is for teens from 5th grade through 12th grade. Their activities throughout the year focus on Bible Study, Prayer, and feLLowship (in both Lament & Laughter). This group is open to all youth in the Lake Country area, regardless of their membership at St. Paul’s.
Service projects include working with our Lord’s Cupboard to deliver Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter food bags, and a larger Summer Project which changes each year.
Each summer we also plan to attend an event focused on Faith building and Fun.

Parent Partnership Workshops
You’re Invited
Open to St. Paul’s and public-school parents, and all who are interested.
Want to better understand why your children and young people think the way they do? Want to live more faithfully, sympathetically, and hopefully in Christ?
St. Paul’s ’24-’25 Church and school theme explores many facets of grit and endurance under the theme, “Unshakeable Joy in Christ.” The theme verse is Roman 5.2b: “. . . We rejoice in hope of the glory of God,” and our theme hymn is “A Mighty Fortress is Our God.”
As part of the exploration under this theme, many St. Paul’s leaders will be reading Carl Trueman’s Strange New Word: How Thinkers and Activists Redefined Identity and Sparked the Sexual Revolution.
Trueman’s book help us understand why we moderns think as we do, but Trueman is not a bombastic, conservative jerk. His work represents a sympathetic reading of the source material and a faithful pastoral perspective that helps Christians live faithfully and hopefully.
Given the value that this study represents, Pastor O’Donnell is offering an opportunity for parents and others to a series of Parent Partnership Workshops that will occur on many Sundays when the middle school youth group meets. This will give parents the opportunity to join the study while the youth group is meeting. The first class is Sunday, September 29th at 5:30pm in the Fellowship Hall (ground floor, below the sanctuary).
Participants will want to buy Strange New World ($10.37 from Amazon) and its accompanying study guide ($8.99 from Amazon).
