Youth Programs (6th through 12th Grades)
Youth programs at St. John's serve young people in middle school and high school. We have a lot of fun!
Youth GroupSt. John’s Youth Group loads of fun! We meet each week on Sunday morning’s from 9:15 to 10:15. Middle School aged youth (6-8th grade) meet as a Rite 13 class, and High School aged (9th-12th grade) meet in our J2A group. Monthly gatherings usually take place on Friday Nights, Saturday Nights, or Sunday afternoon. We use the Journey to Adulthood program, which celebrates the manhood and womanhood given to our youth at 13, in the knowledge that adulthood is a journey. Contact: The Rev. Jeff Thornberg 603-436-8283 or associaterector@stjohnsnh.org. |
Rite 13Rite 13 Youth Group is the Middle School Youth Group which includes grades 6-8th grade. These youth meet at Rev. Jeff Thornberg’s house on Sunday mornings with their mentors for a discussion hour. This also forms the social event youth group that meets monthly. Rite 13 is a ceremony celebrating and welcoming children into man and womanhood after the age of 13. This special ceremony is preceded by a dinner in which parents and children reflect on their relationship as children and look forward to embracing their future as young adults. The entire congregation embraces our youth during this day with words of wisdom, gifts and a special video seeing them “through their years”. Contact: The Rev. Jeff Thornberg 603-436-8283 or associaterector@stjohnsnh.org. |
