Senior Youth Group

Trinity Lutheran in Auburn, NE

(Last Revised 04DEC23 at 1130)


Overall Plan for the Year:

Starting in November, we will begin a blast from the past/applications for the future approach to our favorite good ole Veggie Tales!  Of course, we'll enjoy the shows, but then we'll dig deep to read the story straight from the Bible and see how these "kids'" cartoons (and really ANY study of God's Word) can help us figure through all kinds of challenges, even today, no matter how old we get.

High School students, College students, AND friends welcome =].

If you can't make it in person, you can always join us on Zoom - we'd love to see your face!

More YouthLead Info

Spring - This year we are going to focus on our identity in Christ in our curriculum and our identity as a servant leader in our congregation. We hope participants are able to take and teach the four part curriculum as well as develop practical leadership skills.

Summer - We want to prepare high school leaders alongside their adult mentors at NATIONAL. Teens will join with adults at some of the plenaries and will have workshops in each of those sessions lead by our young adult Executive TeamThis training will focus on leading with warmth, challenge, and grace. This will include topics like how to have difficult conversations and how to help develop small groups.
