JRneys is our youth group for junior high students (6th-8th grade). Aiming to strike a balance between fun and faith, the meetings alternate between playing games and exploring how faith relates to the many issues facing teens today. JRneys, and our high school youth group, PF, are open to all who wish to attend and honor the code of conduct. 

     JRneys is led by our Director of Youth Ministries, Mike Tilden.   Meetings are held twice a month on the second and fourth Wednesdays at 7:00 pm. Non-members are welcome, so please bring a friend along.

Upcoming Meetings:

 

September 22nd - JRneys Kick Off starts at 7pm in the Youth Room at the First Congregational Church in Western Springs (1106 Chestnut Street).  All are welcome and parents are encouraged to come for the first 15 minutes to hear what the group is about and what we'll be doing during the year.  The meeting should go until about 8:15.  The kids will "make their own ice cream sundae" at the end!!!  Bring a friend and have some fun.

 

 

 

Sports Camp:  If you're looking for an opportunity for your son or daughter to have an amazing experience then Sports Camp is for you!  Sports Camp is a UCC week long camp in June held at Pilgrim Park in Princeton, IL.  The days are filled with activities for everyone and the laughter is endless!  This is a camp that focusses on sportsmanship and inclusion; building a family bond among the campers and staff that lasts a lifetime.  As the youth director here at First Congo I highly recommend that your kids go to Sports Camp 2011.  It is for boys and girls who have just completed 6th, 7th, 8th & 9th grades.
