Youth Scavenger Hunt
Three teams will compete to be crowned the winner of our annual Youth Scavenger Hunt this Sunday, October 2 from 6:30-7:30pm! Grab a friend and meet us at the Shawnee Campus in the lower-level parking lot.
Conversations about Sex and Porn
Part of what I get to do as the Youth Family Minister at Trinity is share resources and conversations about topics relevant to our community following Jesus. Children are able to intentionally or accidentally access porn more easily now than ever before. Research suggests that most students are first exposed to porn between 8-10 years old. We need to educate students in this harmful addictive behavior.
Youth Mini Golf Recap
On Sunday afternoon, 10 of Trinity’s most talented mini golfers took to Smiley’s golf course. Everyone got some snacks for braving the intense Kansas heat for our youth group kickoff! And the Broncos won their game! Looking forward to seeing everyone next week at Shawnee for our normal time 6:30-7:30pm.

Beth Stephens
Youth Family Minister
Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.
1 Timothy 4:12 ESV
Bible Studies, Discussion Time, Engaging Activities
Youth can participate in a myriad of events each month, from Sunday morning youth Sunday School in the youth room at each campus, to Sunday evening Youth Nights at family host locations. Youth meet new friends, strengthen old friendships and have time to talk about real-life issues in a setting with appropriate adult guidance of discussion topics.
Serving Others
Serving others is one of the hallmarks of faith life at Trinity, and youth are no exception. One of the greatest joys in youth ministry is to see the smiles of satisfaction as young adult realize the joy of serving others as the love of Christ flows through them. Service activities include providing childcare for parents’ night out events, serving an Easter breakfast, and setting up garage sales among other things. A servant event trip somewhere within the United States is in the planning stages, too!
Lutheran Valley Retreat
Nestled into the Pike National Forest, Lutheran Valley Retreat provides a year-round retreat and summer camp facilities for groups from around the country. When at LVR, youth are at a place where focus on God and building your relationship with Jesus Christ is without interruption. Youth are immersed in fun activities and Bible studies from dawn to dusk. Trinity’s youth attend LVR each summer.

“Held every 3 years since 1980, the LCMS Youth Gathering provides thousands of youth and adults the opportunity to come together as a community of God’s people to learn more about Jesus Christ, the Christian faith and their Lutheran identity.
During the five days of the Gathering, youth spend time together in God’s word, worship, service, and fellowship with others from across the synod. This event is organized by LCMS Youth Ministry in Saint Louis, MO.
