"I'm really looking forward to this years program. There are a lot of new events planned that will not only be a lot of fun, but bring us closer together as well. I hope this youth group year will bring new people and more friendships. Youth group can only get better, and i really believe that bringing in new people and their ideas from our community will really add something special to the group. I also hope that this year we not only make friends with new comers, but also with people who are already in the group. There are a lot of great opporunities to get to know those who are new and to also learn something new about those who aren't. I think reaching out to those on the outside is something that can really make this group better. I'm really excited for youth group to start, and I hope you are too!"
