Welcome To St. Mark Youth League -- S.M.Y.L
The Board of Youth and Family Ministries would like to encourage the 6th 7th & 8th graders of our church to participate in our junior high youth program known as S.M.Y.L. – the St. Mark Youth League. S.M.Y.L. is a program designed to complement our Confirmation Program and Sunday School Class.
Sunday School teaches our youth the importance of knowing the Bible. Catechism teaches the importance of basic teachings of the Bible as understood through our Lutheran Confessions. S.M.Y.L. teaches the importance of fellowship with those who share our Christian values.
S.M.Y.L. was started many years ago with the hope that our youth would see that church can be a place where they can have fun and find joy in being a believer in Christ. All the activities meant to build relationships with fellow church members and friends alike. Some activities are simply fun and games. Some promote service to the church. Some give the opportunity to reach out to the community.
S.M.Y.L. usually meets on the second Wednesday of the month immediately following Catechism Class. However there are other activities that take place on other days and times. Watch the monthly and weekly newsletters along with letters sent home from Catechism Class.
As a note to parents and other adults in the congregation we want to emphasize that we are always looking for help in leading and helping out with activities. Anyone interested in leading or assisting should contact Pastor Smiles.
