Epic Sr. High Youth

  **EPIC WILL MEET  WEDNESDAY NIGHTS AT 7:00 PM**

EPIC is the high school ministry at the Church of the Good Shepherd.
During the school year we meet each week on Wednesday evenings from 7:00 - 8:30 p.m. We spend time praising God through contemporary music and, in a practical and creative way, discussing issues that face youth. The students have a great time playing ping-pong, foosball, sports and, of course, eating.

In addition, the EPIC group plans a variety of extra activities that are fun and challenging.

STATIC (Jr. High Youth)
  
Static is the Junior High Ministry at Church of the Good Shepherd.
We play high impact (impact sounds so dangerous, so we'll say HIGH ENERGY) games for over an hour to help students release a week's worth of school-time frustration. After we've burned up all of their energy (yeah, right!) we re-fuel them with loads of nutritious snacks. Then we gather them together where they sit in complete silence, keeping their hands to themselves, their minds focused on the topic being discussed, and raising their hands when they have a question......oh, I'm sorry, I was day dreaming for a moment! We actually gather them together to teach them about God, the Bible and life itself in a practical way that makes sense to a typical Jr. High student.

The best way to describe a Static Friday Night is FUN!!!
Actually, one notch below a riot type of fun!

Note:  Generally, STATIC meets the first three Fridays of the month, unless otherwise noted, from 6:30 - 9:00 pm.
