YOUTH GROUP NEWS
PAPER RECYCLING BIN
The Youth Group is sponsoring the Paper Recycling bin that we have on the grounds beside the chapel.
There is a list of things that they accept and don't accept on the bulletin board downstairs.
SPIRIT FILLED MINISTRY IN HIP HOP OUTREACH
Christian hip hop artist David Scherer, who goes by the professional name of Agape, will be
performing at the Lutheran Church of the Holy Spirit in Emmaus (4161 Cedar Crest Blvd.) on
Sunday, September 19 at 3 p.m. Doors open at 2 p.m. Suggested minimum donation is $5 per person
(check should be made out to Lutheran Church of the Holy Spirit with David Scherer Concert in the
subject line). For more information contact associate in ministry Jane Elliott at 610-967-2220, ext. 107.
Huff's Church confirmation credit will be given if you attend the concert and let Pastor Kropa know

CONRAD ROAD CLEAN-UP
A road clean-up of Conrad Road is planned for Saturday morning, September 18th from 10 a.m. to
Noon. We need a good turnout including at least 4 adults who can help. There is a sign up sheet on
the Youth/Sunday School Bulletin Board. Please contact Pastor Mike at revmike@ptd.net if you have
any questions. Thank you.
LASER QUEST YOUTH GROUP TRIP:
On Sunday, October 17th the Youth Group is planning an outing to play Laser Tag at Laser Quest in
Wyomissing. Information sheets on this are located on the Youth bulletin board. A sign up sheet will
be placed on the Youth bulletin board in mid-September. We also will need adult drivers. Please
contact Pastor Mike with any questions. Thank you.
YOUTH GROUP HIKE
On October 30, 2010, the youth group is sponsoring an all ages hike to The Pinnacle near Kempton,
PA. The hike is about 2 miles each way on the well-marked and relatively easy Appalachian trail.
While the trail is not too steep, it is up hill most of the way in and down hill most of the way out. The
Pinnacle itself is an out- cropping of rock which provides an amazing 360 degree view of the
surrounding area and is a wonderful place to eat lunch and experience God's world. There is a stream
and a small cave to explore during the hike. We will meet at 8 a.m. in the church parking lot and car
pool to the site. Bring a lunch, water, sun screen and good shoes with high socks. We hope to see you
there! Please contact Gary Moll with any questions. A sign up sheet will be placed on the youth
bulletin board in late September. Thank you.
CONFIRMATION
Parents and mentors, please remember to sign up on the sheet hanging on the Sunday School bulletin
board (in the hallway) for times you can be the second or third adult at Confirmation class. We
practice a two-adult policy at Huff's, which means I cannot hold class without additional adults present.
I also hope you will enjoy taking a few classes with our Confirmands.
The Confirmation class and mentor retreat will be Saturday, September 11, 2010 from 9 until 3 p.m.
Mentors are asked to bring food to share for our lunch. Table service and beverages will be provided.
First class: September 12 at 9:15 a.m. in the chapel basement. I need two to three adults to assist
with classes. Confirmands should bring Bibles, participation credit worksheet, a pencil, and completed
Luke worksheet.
End of the month class: September 26 from 11:30 to 2 p.m. on the street level of church. Bring your
own sack lunch and beverage. You will learn about the Exodus from Egypt, Passover and Holy
Communion. Bring all confirmation materials. On this day you will receive your catechisms. Please
bring your marked envelope with a check written to Huff's Union Church or cash for $10.75. Please see
Pastor Kropa privately if you need scholarship assistance.
Class is cancelled if church is cancelled. If there is an evening meeting, class will be cancelled by 4:30
p.m. in bad weather. Call the pastor if you have concerns. (610-944-5923).
YOUTH SCHOLARSHIP FUND FOR CHURCH-RELATED EVENTS
The Jane Kulkulka Memorial Scholarship fund welcomes donations in any amount and is used to help
children of our members attend ELCA and UCC sponsored events. You may donate in honor of or in
memory of a particular person, or to the glory of God. Please place your donation and information in
an envelope and place this in the Sunday School mailbox. Having this fund allows us to help families
with financial needs send their youth to special events. In the past, this fund enabled us to support one
of our youth who went to Germany with the Northeastern PA Synod and one of our youth who went to
South Africa with the Lancaster Seminar Leadership Now group.
**CLICK HERE for the Annual Youth Permission Form. This form will be used for any and all
church-sponsored activities and events that your child may be involved with at Huff's. This means no
more filling out a permission form over and over again throughout the year! Once Huff's has this form
on file, it will be for the entire current year. If you would ever like to revoke permission, just contact
the church office. Please complete the form and return it to the church office. These forms are also
hanging on the Sunday School bulletin board located in the hallway near the Sunday School rooms.
The Shouting Stones Shine On!
The teen Praise and Worship band at Huff's Church is growing, and making a name for themselves in
the world of Praise and Worship. The name is "The Shouting Stones" and they perform current,
popular Praise and Worship songs, as well as original songs written by them. If you have not witnessed
their performance yet, they will be performing again in various functions and worship services for
Huff's Church. If you are a teen in grades 6 or 7 and up, and you would like to join us in Praise and
Worship, please speak to Mr. Fritz VonHummel, Mrs. Stacy Whalen, or Ms. Julie Brought who are the
managers/advisers of The Shouting Stones.
