The order form is a single page – use a separate form for each customer.  Please collect money as orders are placed.  You have also been given one recap sheet.  When you are finished selling, total your orders and fill this sheet in to be turned in with all of your orders.  This will assist you in making sure you have received all payments and have turned in the correct amount of money.  Have the customer make out their check to you – you will need to turn in just one check payable to St. John Youth Trip Fund – NO EXCEPTIONS!!

Middle and High School Small Groups
Middle School (6th - 8th grades) and High School (9th - 12th grades) youth are put into group of 8-10 that are separated boys and girls. Each group has 1-2 Adult Leaders who faciliatate discussions about different topics such as self esteem, bullying, and decision making. Small Groups give the youth a chance to take their faith further; asking the difficult questions about life and faith, and having a safe place to find the answers. 

Middle and High School Youth Groups
Youth groups are arranged similarly to small groups: Middle and High school. We do fun events such as our Annual Photo Scavenger Hunt, Progressive Dinners, Lock-ins, and service projects such as cooking for the Ronald McDonald House and helping with the Emmaus Homes Christmas Party.


Retreats
Throughout the year, we have retreats to continue on our spiritual journey through a different setting other than church. Many of our retreats are at Camp MoVal. We talk about our faith, have fun, and worship. We also have retreats to prepare for big events such as Confirmation and mission trips.
