It doesnโt have anything to do with Thanksgiving, which is the point of most of the Charlie Brown movies, they are an abstract take on a traditional idea, which, now that youโre in middle school, is exactly the kind of rigorous intellectual stretching your brain needs. โฃ โฃ ๐๐ฉ๐ข๐ต ๐ช๐ง ๐ ๐ฅ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ต ๐ฉ๐ข๐ท๐ฆ ๐ข๐ฏ๐บ ๐ฑ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ต๐ป๐ฆ๐ญ ๐ด๐ต๐ช๐ค๐ฌ๐ด?โฃ Itโs not a big deal, you donโt actually need any of that food, thatโs just what they eat in the movie. โฃ โฃ ๐ ๐ฅ๐ฐ๐ฏโ๐ต ๐ญ๐ช๐ฌ๐ฆ ๐ฃ๐ฆ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ฐ๐ฏ ๐ค๐ข๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ข ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐ฆ๐ข๐ต๐ช๐ฏ๐จ, ๐ฅ๐ฐ ๐ ๐ฉ๐ข๐ท๐ฆ ๐ต๐ฐ?โฃ No, not at all, weโre just hanging out together and making jokes/commentary on the movie.

Have your mom download Among Us on her phone so you can play along after youth group this week. 
Youth โGroupโ is online tonight at 7pm. Weโll start here on Instagram, and then end up on the zooms around 8pm (tinyurl.com/mcjhyg is the zoom link). See you soon! 
Weโre back this week! โฃ Sundays at 10am, we start here on Instagram, for music and teaching. Then weโll move to Zoom around 11am.โฃ tinyurl.com/mcjhsundayโฃ โฃ The joke used to be that since we were meeting in the youth house during the middle service, and you were in middle school, that you were Stuck in the Middle. Now that weโre all stuck at home, the joke isnโt as funny though. 
Itโs way hot, and time has no meaning anymore. Soooooooooooo, seems like a little โsummer breakโ here at youth group is in order. In other words, weโre taking the next two weeks off. In the meantime, wear a mask, stand up for the oppressed, and donโt melt. Weโll see you on Wednesday August 26th at 7pm here on Instagram Live. 
Download this. (Like from the App Store/etc). Youโre going to need it. 
Bonus night of camp starts tonight at 6pm in the church parking lot. Come drive by and get some ice cream and/or flavored non dairy ice product. Keep your masks on and all, itโs not an in-person party. If youโve been walking up to get dinner, you can still walk donโt need to have your parents drive you, but be there at 6, because if youโre late it wonโt be ice cream, itโll just be cream.
