INVITE A FRIEND!
NEW THIS YEAR!
INVITE A FRIEND
Yes, we are opening up Winter Weekend registrations to friends and other church youth groups. Chaperone ratios will still apply, so you’ll have to work with your Youth Group advisors to ensure that there are enough adult chaperones.
Does your church or youth group collaborate with another church in your town? Maybe the Methodist Church, or the Episcopal church… Presbyterian, Reformed Church… tell us how to contact them and we’ll send out a registration packet and information to their youth group. Or maybe you’d like to invite a friend from school or your next door neighbor.
As Lutherans, we often sing a hymn called “We Love to Tell the Story” - sharing this experience is a wonderful way to “tell the story” and invite others to see the impact that your faith has on your life.
Winter Weekend Video Contest!
PREPARE FOR IMPACT
We’re working on a theme, “Prepare for Impact”, and we want to know,“How has Christ/ church/ your pastor/ Winter Weekend impacted your life?”
Choose one (or someone else who has impacted you) and make us a video!
You can make an individual video or work with your Youth Group. Have fun with it!
You can use a flip video, I-phone, webcam, or a video camera and show us your stuff, YouTube style. (They will NOT be shown on YouTube, but may be a part of WW slideshows).
You can send videos to
office@atonementrochester.org.
Prizes will be awarded!
But we don’t care if it’s interview style, movie style, simple or creative, we just want to hear YOUR stories.
Deadline is February 6, 2010.
Calling All Musicians!
CALLING ALL MUSICIANS!
Do you play an instrument? Guitar? Tambourines? Trumpet? Spoons? Flute? Anything else? Have a beautiful voice?
We’re looking for youth musicians to play with our musicians during large group worship and praise time at Winter Weekend (March 5-7, 2010).
If you think you might be interested, please contact Will Daubney at wilbercss95@hotmail.com or Dennis Paulhamus at menace7208@earthlink.net

Captive Free Concert and Dinner
On Saturday, October 24th, the LYO sponsored a pasta dinner and a ministry presentation/ concert by Captive Free. Some of you may remember Captive Free form the Niagara Frontier Youth Quakes in Buffalo a few years back.
Captive Free is a traveling music ministry. The band travels to churches and youth events to spread the Word through music and testimony.
It's not just a concert, it's ice breakers, games, song, and testimony from a group of talented young people that spend a year traveling to churches across the country spreading the Good News and interacting with youth ministry. They depend on offerings and donations to fund their ministry and to buy gas to get them to the next stop on their journey.
The Captive Free members were hosted by Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Fairport and stayed with the families of the LYO board members.
If you'd like information on how to bring Captive Free to your church, you can find out more here at www.youthencounter.org
About 35 youth enjoyed the pasta dinner and fellowship and about 50 + enjopyed the Captive Free program.
Stay tuned for photos to be added.
