Senior Highs on Sunday Night Every Sunday afternoon from 4pm-6pm, youth in grades 6-8
come to the Youth House behind the church for fun, fellowship, and Bible Study.
Each week we start our time together with Bible Study and we make it really fun
while still connecting it to our everyday lives. After Bible Study we play lots
and lots of games including ones you've played before and many different ones
that are unique to Northbrook. About once a month, we'll leave the church and do something cool like
play Laser Tag, go ice skating, or even go to a Piston's game. On Sunday nights from 7-9pm we meet at the Youth House behind the church for fun, fellowship, and Bible Study.We

Senior High Bible Study
Every Wednesday we get together for dinner at 6:00pm in fellowship hall, followed by a Bible Study from 6:45-8:00pm.We spend our time discussing how to live our faith at school, with our friends, on our sport teams, and with our families.
Lately, our Bible studies have consisted of watching an episode from a
television series each week and talking about how the characters' lives
are affected by God and what Christ calls us to do in whatever
situation the characters find themselves.We've already done studies on Smallville, Eli Stone, and Joan of Arcadia. Retreats
Retreats
are an important part of our youth program because they bring us
together as a group and allow us to get away from whatever problems
we're facing at home and focus on our relationship with Christ and each
other. We
play lots of games, tackle High and Low Ropes Courses, roast
marshmallows over a campfire and learn more about our faith.We've had
our retreats at the Howell Conference and Nature Center, Spring Hill,
and in the winter, occasionally on the ski slopes. Mission Trip
As
soon as school gets out for the summer, we leave home for a week full
of mission and service to those who are in desperate need of it.
We help to rebuild and fix up the homes of those who don't have the
money or ability to do so themselves. We have had our mission trips in
Racine, WI, Reading, PA, St. Louis, MO and Rockford, IL.Christ calls us to help others and our youth definitely respond to that call. Camp
Every summer, Northbrook runs a week long church camp for children and youth in grades 1st-12th.Our
Senior Highs come as Junior Counselors and assist the Adult Counselors
with games, crafts and caring for the younger campers.The week is full of Bible Stories, a Live Clue Game, Game Show Night, Mock Rock, Water Regatta, and much more.We have tons of craft activities, sports, and games to keep the week packed full of fun.Camp is an excellent opportunity to become a leader while having fun and growing closer to God.
