Kids Night Out will continue their theme on prayer and learning the Lord’s Prayer. On February 10th KNO will end their evening activities by burning the palms in preparation for Ash Wednesday. We are planning on sharing a special snack with the youth. The youth will help KNO
burn the palms. Thank you Pastor Jude for helping with this activity. There will be no Kids Night
Out on Ash Wednesday, February 17th. Please bring your family to church to celebrate Ash Wednesday at 7 pm. During the Lenten season Kids Night Out will meet from 7:00pm–8:00 pm.

We encourage families to attend the soup and bread meals every Wednesday during Lent.
Then stay for services while your child attends Kids Night Out.

We have rescheduled the youth (in the 6th to the 12th grade) lock-in for Friday, March 19 th. The cost of the event is $5 and it will be held at the YMCA here in Indiana. We are expecting anywhere from 50 to 100 youth to attend this event. They will be coming from around the Indiana District.

The adult leadership of the district has decided to continue with the normal events that we have every year, so there won’t be munch planning going on. There will be a lot of playing however. We have a lot of fun stuff planned for our youth. We will begin the night in the swimming pool, we will then enter into a time of worship with the Christian band Lantern, and finally there will be free time for the youth. During free time they will be able to play basketball, volleyball, board games, the Wii, or just sleep.

It is going to be a great evening among United Methodist youth from 8 pm to 7 am.
