This Week in the Youth Ministry:
There are so many exciting things happening again this month. Thank you God for such great opportunities for our Youth! It's such a blessing to fellowship and work beside one another. Our youth filled over 700 candy swag bags at Fusion for our Trick or Trunk event on October 30. Thank you youth for helping fill these bags for the children in our community AND for helping at Trick or Trunk. You helped direct cars, you helped hand out hot dogs to people, you waved at people, you helped pass out candy swag bags to our guests and you decorated your trunks! Thank you youth for serving others!!!

On Sunday, November 14, 0ur youth will be going to glean apples at a local orchard at 2:00 PM (glean is a fancy word for "picking up" fruits or vegetables so they don't go to waste). This is an awesome opportunity to help our environment and give our gleaning efforts to the Greene County Food Pantry. This will be our Fusion event on this Sunday. **Adult drivers needed** Please email Sarah Powell or text 434-882-3144 if you can be a driver to help transport youth to/from the orchard. This will be a FUN TIME of working together! This project is hosted by our local chapter of Society of St. Andrew and Jim Hassmer will be our guide and speaker. Check out their website at www.endhunger.org and the video Gleaning and Feeding (Society of St. Andrew) - YouTube On November 20 our youth leadership team will tour Rapidan Baptist Camp in Reva, Virginia. It's an awesome Christian camp in Madison County. Stay tuned for info about youth winter/spring retreats and summer TEEN camps! Join us for Fusion on November 21 at Dover-Foxcroft. Led by our Youth Leaders Sarah Lamm & Sydney Orange. Fusion on November 28 will be at Spring Hill Baptist Church for Hanging of the Green (decorating the church for Christmas) and enjoying a pizza party afterwards.

Our youth play an active role in Sunday morning worship services, and the style of our services make them relevant to all age groups. Our small groups are called Connection Classes for students in grades 6-12 where we are challenged with what God has to say to us through scripture, prayer and each other! Sunday Evenings

Our youth ministry continues to thrive and transform as we grow in our understanding and knowledge of who God is and who He calls each one of us to be. We hope that you will join us and be part of discovering the God-sized opportunities that lie ahead.

"With You"
We are in a 4-week study on Friendship, called "With You." Last Sunday in small group we discussed how we can "be with people when they're grieving." It can be pretty uncomfortable to be with people during one of the worst moments of their life, but it's worth it. When we show up for our friends who are grieving, our friends can see God's love and care for them through our love and care for them, we get to see God at work in our friend's life, and God can work not only through us, but in us as well, as God's Spirit helps us become more compassionate, patient, selfless and loving.
Grieving looks different for everyone, so there's not one correct way to be with a friend who is grieving, but here's a start:
When a friend is grieving...
1. Let them know you're there. You don't even have to talk! Just let them know you're there through your words and actions. Offer them a ride to church or school. Ask if they want to hang out. Send a text. Get a few of your friends together if it will help your friend feel less alone.
2. Listen. They may not want to talk a lot about what's going on, but when they do, try not to interrupt. Just listen.
3. Be patient. Your friend may need your support for days, weeks or even years. What they need from you may look different over time as the grief eases, but keep checking in with your friend as time goes on. Even if they don't seem as sad as they did at the beginning, it doesn't mean they're not still grieving.
4. Remember important dates. Your friend may be sad around big anniversaries, so do things to make life a little less stressful for them. You could pick up their homework for them, bake some cookies or write a card.
5. Take care of yourself. When a friend is grieving, remember they might have outbursts or mood swings that are not about you. Try not to take it personally. Talk about how you're feeling with a trusted adult and make sure you have the support you need so that you will be able to support your friend.
Remember, if we want someone to know God is with them, we need to be with them, too.
This Sunday we will discuss how to "be with people when they're lonely."
Join us in the Middle and High School rooms at 10:15 AM. Bring your Bible! Who can you invite-- to church AND to Fusion?
Blessings to each of you,
