Sunday, March 25 from 7-9pm: An
important and honest evening on drugs and alcohol...
The truth is that before most teenagers graduate from high
school, they will be forced to make crucial
decisions about drugs and alcohol. Therefore, it is
important that our teenagers have as much information as
possible on what drugs and alcohol can do. Tonight we
will host the folks from, "The Graphic Truth," an organization
based in Wethersfield, CT, that exists to inform teenagers
through personal stories of recovery and
addiction. For more about this program visit www.thegraphictruth.org.

tell.

What is PF Youth Group,
Anyway?
PF stands for Pilgrim
Fellowship. Pilgrim Fellowship has been the name of the
Sr. High Youth Group at First Church for hundreds
of years. It dates back to the pilgrims who first came
here in search of religious freedom and it still fits because
all of us, especially teenagers, are pilgrims on a
journey.
PF is for all 9th through 12th
graders no matter your religious background, ideas about God, or
anything else. Everyone is welcome. PF is a place for
you and your friends to play, discuss, worship, grow, serve, and
love. PF is a place for teenagers to journey together in
faith.
PF meets on Sunday nights from 7-9
pm in the Youth Room at First Church where we play games
and discuss relevant topics in an engaging way. PF also
meets outside of the regular Sunday night time for weekend
retreats, serving meals at soup kitchens, tutoring elementary
school students in Hartford, summer immersion/mission trips,
and much more. See the PF schedule above and
join us!
No matter
who you are or where you are on life's journey, you are
welcome here. Contact Rev. Kevin at 651-3593 X16
