High School youth meet each Sunday. At 10:00 a.m. youth gather in Fellowship Hall for a casual discussion group. Topics come from the group's interest and range from current events, situations in school, and various religious concerns. In addition, various curriculum are used to guide discussion and activities. At 11:00 a.m. everyone gathers for regular Youth Group meetings with adult advisors. The group is self-directed and plans programs that include worship, education, social events, social action projects, and development of leadership skills. This group plans trips to various spots in the city and has several overnights at the church during the year. An important component of their programming is the Youth Sunday service—an annual church service planned, prepared, and presented by the youth. This is always an invigorating experience that is highly anticipated by the congregation. Another highlight of Youth Group is attending UUA-Central Midwest District Youth Conferences. At these events, youth meet other young UUs from churches in Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, and other parts of Missouri. Lasting friendships develop within the local youth group and across the district. Youth Group is a wonderful experience for teens—it broadens their perspectives and gives them a comfortable atmosphere in which to discuss the issues they are dealing with as they become adults.
