Open to all

If you work with youth (as a volunteer, advisor or pastor) and would like to post messages, photos or events on this blog, just let me know and I'll add you as a blog administrator.

I'd like to be able to use this site as well as facebook to help churches, youth and their youth groups keep in touch.

Teach Your Kids to Share Event

THRIVENT "Teach Your Kids to Share Day"

Thrivent* is sponsoring a nationwide "Teach Your Kids to Share Day" on Friday, April 24th, from 5:30-9:00 PM.

The Rochester Chapter is hosting the event at the Rochester Museum and Science Center. The workshops will focus on teaching kids (ages 6-10) a value-based approach to money management.

Families (for a cost of $10.00) can look forward to dinner, activities, educational materials and prizes as well as partaking of the full museum experience. You do NOT have to be a member of Thrivent to join in the fun and no products or services will be sold.

To register, visit http://tinyurl.com/thriventregistration or call 800-236-3736. A $10 per family registration fee includes dinner, activities and educational materials.

Volunteers are needed to assist in this event. If you would like to help; please contact Joel Slesak at 314-1535 (cell) or 1-888-207-5413 (office) by April 1st.

(This would be a great way to serve the church - maybe get some volunteer community service hours for church or school - maybe a great Youth Group project)
