Youth

Confirmation -Adult volunteers are needed to participate in small group discussion with 8th graders, as chaperones at events, and working on service projects together with the students. Most gatherings are Wednesday nights.

Sunday School – Volunteers are needed to lead discussions with middle school and high school students during the 9:30am service.

Youth Group (SMACK) – Volunteers are needed to help lead games and discussions with middle and high school students on Sunday nights.

Before School Breakfast – During most Fridays of the school year, St. Matthew’s provides pancakes and apple juice, along with some activities for middle school students, from 7:45-9:00am. This is a wonderful chance to help serve the students in our community whose parents work and who may not have a place to go before school. Volunteers are needed to help cook the pancakes, supervise the students, and clean up afterwards.

After School Program – Since 2006, St. Matthew’s has provided middle school students with a safe, fun, and welcoming atmosphere after school on Tuesdays from 2:35-4pm. During the 2008-2009 school year, the program averaged 82 students each Tuesday, and over 500 different students from McKnight Middle School participated in the program.  Volunteers are needed to help students with registration each week, or by providing a snack, or even in supervising all of the fun! Or, if you have a skill that could be used, we could use your help leading an activity for an afternoon. Some of our activities this past year have been: ceramics, card-making, cheerleading, hip-hop dance, bingo, outdoor cooking, crafts, ice cream-making, and much more.
