The Senior High Youth Group ended the year by celebrating our seniors at our May 19 Senior Banquet.  Ten seniors were there to enjoy gifts, accolades, and much appreciation from members of the SHYG.  The seniors in our group collectively donated over 1000 hours of service during the course of their tenure at Pilgrim Church, and it was wonderful to celebrate all they have done for the local and larger communities.  Special thanks to all of the junior parents who provided dinner for the evening, and especially to Serena Davis Hall, Barb Brown and Stacey Brandon for coordinating the evening.

The Senior High Youth Group wraps up the program year with our annual year-end party, which will be Monday evening, June 9, at the home of Lars and Lisa Niit at 16 Everett Street in Sherborn.  All of the 8th grade members of this year's confirmation class are invited to attend to start meeting the kids in the SHYG and see what we're all about.

Text Box:  What do others say about this Middle School Youth Group? Who and what are we? These are the questions that I asked the kids at one of our recent meetings. I then broke them into groups to answer those questions. I expected answers such as, “a bunch of 6th and 7th grade kids having fun on Monday nights at Pilgrim Church”. Instead they chose to identify themselves as, “God’s workers, a helpful, caring, sharing group that thinks about others, and puts others before themselves”, and also “a group of generous kids just trying to help”. I am proud of those statements, the caring and work that they represent, and all of the kids that have so faithfully come to our meetings, and so willingly have done God’s work. Our work for others this year has been extensive and so gratifying. We have built houses (gingerbread ones) and bought chairs. We created homeless families out of paper bags and worked with real ones at the Medway House. We fed people in Framingham and then again at a shelter in Dorchester. We collected and sorted books for prisoners and collected and sorted Christmas gifts for the City Mission Society’s Christmas Shop. We sent work campers off to New Orleans and Dungannon with our blessings and new work gloves. We sent valentines and sent notes to senators and delivered Easter baskets. We sang in living rooms at Christmas time and sang again at our Joyful Noise Coffee House in February. Yes!  These kids are “God’s workers”. I can’t even begin to imagine how many lives they have touched, how many smiles have been generated by their caring.
