- Teen Mid-Week
Join us each Wednesday evening from 6:00-8:30 for food, fellowship, and
discussion of relavent issues facing the teen generation today. Our
gameroom which includes Playstation and Wii; fusball; ping-pong; and
basketball opens at 6 PM each Wednesday evening for your enjoyment or
you can go hang out in the teen room and play a board game or catch up
with friends. At 6:30 PM we share announcements, take role, and
settle in with some fun activity to introduce the evenings topic. In
February our featured topic is Depression/Suicide. What are the
signs, where can I go for help, what does God say about such things, and
most importantly in the midst of struggle where is hope? On Wed.,
2/2 we will hold a special parent/teen workshop with guest speakers from
Center For Family Services and free dinner @ 6 PM. Discussion is done
small group style with q&a time as a whole group and prayer before
breaking off for more socialization.
- Sunday Night Fellowship
Each 1st Sunday of the month (excluding 3/6) join us from 6:30-8 PM for
fun-filled activities including movie nights, waterwars, chess challenges,
basketball tournaments, and Wii sing-off. February's fellowship is a
friendly game of crab soccer. Teams of 4 will compete in a round
robin style for the prize. Bring 3 friends to form your own team or
come solo and we will place you on a team. If crab soccer is not
your sport come and cheer on the teams in the stands.
- Worship Currently
our youth/young adult worship which is normally held the 4th Sunday of
each month @ 7 PM is under construction. Please log on occasionally
for updates.
- Service
CHEWS Youth offers several opportunities to engage in service projects
throughout the year. currently each 1st Saturday of the month we
travel to Camden for a community clean-up. On Sunday, 2/27/11 we
will participate in the IHOC Mall Walk @ Voorhees Towne Center to raise
money and awareness for homelessness. The last weekend of April we
will participate in the 30 Hour Famine to raise awareness and money for
global hunger. John Wesley said, 'There is not holiness without
social holiness". CHEWS youth are very aware that as believers
we must do our part and the experiences gained from service have helped to
shape their lives and their character.
