Youth
& Family News
Augustana
youth are divided in to several age groups. Elementary youth are split into three
groups. Lower Elementary (LE) is for youth in kindergarten through second grade.
Middlers are our new group. This is designed for third and fourth graders. Youth
in grades five and six are invited to join us for Upper Elementary (UE) events.
We are always seeking adults (and older youth) who are interested in helping with
these three joyful groups of youth.
Super Senior High
The High School Youth Group is being restructured. Senior
high youth are also reminded that we have a special place for them each Sunday
morning. All youth in grades nine through twelve are invited to join us for a

Imagine That…Smile
in Public Whether we realize it or not, most people are
taught to not smile in public (this means that they are scowling). Next time you
are on the road, walking down the street or in a store, try to change this pattern,
smile at those you meet. Watch how those you smile to react, you may be surprised,
you may even get a smile in return!
Faith Talks
® If you had the whole day to do anything you wanted, what would you do?
® Tell about a favorite Bible story you remember. Why do you like it?
® How do you know that God loves you?
® Think of someone that you
could invite to church. Why did you pick this person?
Five
Ways to Show Kids You Care 1 Be Relaxed
2 Kneel, squat
or sit so that you are at their eye level (if they are tall, you may need to stand
on a chair!)
3 Answer their questions
4 Tell them how terrific they are
5 Create a tradition with them and keep it
Finger Prayer
Use this rhyme and the fingers on your own hands as a reminder to pray for
others….
® My thumb is small, it's plain to see. It's a reminder
to pray for me.
® My pointer finger shows me where to go, I'll pray for
those who guide me as I grow.
® My middle finger stands so tall, I'll
thank God who watches over all.
® Finger number four is weaker than the
rest. Please God, care for those who need your rest.
® My very last finger
is tiny like a child. I'll pray for other kids across the whole world wide.
