Hi friends!
Two summers ago, we started something new that I would love to see continue this year. We had families from the church opening their homes to the youth group on Sunday nights so that they could interact with us and see the kind of stuff that we do and talk about. This was awesome on two fronts: the students saw that the congregation loved them, and the families were able to see how amazing our youth are. This year, we conclude regular evening programming on March 24 but I would love to keep offering Sunday nights as a way for our students to stay connected and focused. We would begin in late June to make sure we are all set for our trip to Pictured Rocks! Our hope is that we can have almost every following Sunday that doesn’t have an event planned claimed by a family from First.
Before you commit though, I feel the need to warn you...
If by some miracle, this is still something you would like to do, please claim a Sunday on this form below! On behalf of the entire group, we appreciate your willingness. It means a lot to all of us. These dates may be subject to cancellation for random things like weather or if something comes up for you, that’s fine too. This has been unbelievably fun in the past! Let me know if there is some way to make this easier for you guys!
Thank you for your willingness to love our students! <--Click here for the form!

- Between 5 and 20 students might come to your house between 6 and 8pm.
- They like to hang out, and especially love fires.
- Their preferred foods hit all the four major food groups: hot dogs, pizza, doritos, and ramen noodles.
- They drink mountain dew like it's the long lost fountain of youth. We do have one friend who would prefer to have some diabetic-friendly food and drink!
- They play card games and mostly entertain themselves, unless you have other fun things available for them to do. Then they do those things.
- I will wrangle them together for about 15 minutes to talk to them about Jesus. If you are willing, I’m sure they would love to hear what you are passionate about! This can be a lesson you find online, a small piece of your testimony, or whatever else you want to talk about! If this is super intimidating, I would be happy to talk to them instead :)
- If you would like me to provide food and drink, I can do that too!
