MIDDLE SCHOOL MINISTRY
Helping Middle School students know Christ and make Christ known!
At Red Hill Lutheran Church & School, we believe that middle school is a crucial and integral part of a student's faith journey. We want to facilitate a place where students can grow, build meaningful relationships, and truly get to know Jesus for themselves!
Please see below for our weekly gatherings, upcoming events, and other information that may help you and your family!
RHL YOUTH WINTER CAMP 2027
We are so excited to head back to Forest Home this January for Winter Camp 2027! Winter Camp is a one-of-a-kind experience that truly can’t be replaced. It is an opportunity for students to step away from the routine, disconnect for a few days, deepen their friendships, and spend intentional time with God. We would love to have your student join us!
We encourage families to sign up early so there is plenty of time to plan and prepare. It is a great chance for them to make lasting memories, strengthen friendships, and come home encouraged and refreshed. Sign-ups are officially open! If you have any questions, please contact Youth Director Tim Rivera at trivera@redhillchurch.org.
GENERAL INFORMATION

THE EXCHANGE
Midweek Teaching Series For October
We all make exchanges — all the time, in fact! Whether you're shopping, texting your best friend, swapping snacks at the lunch table, or returning a wave to a neighbor, most of the exchanges we make aren't very memorable. But the exchanges that stick with us are the exchanges we have with people who impact our lives for the better. Maybe you've exchanged meaningful advice, wisdom, or encouragement with your friends, family members, heroes, coaches, pastors, or younger people you've invested in. Those exchanges are what this series is all about.
In this four-week series from 2 Timothy, we'll explore some advice the apostle Paul gave to Timothy, a guy he was mentoring, because we can learn from Paul's wisdom too. Through it, we'll see how we can all exchange wisdom with each other (no matter our age) by helping each other discover our gifts, develop discernment, get equipped, and find strength.
DISCIPLEU STUDENTS | SUNDAY MORNINGS

Family Resource Library
It is a joy and an honor to support and equip entire families through all stages of life. To help in that journey, we offer a Family Resource Library filled with books covering every developmental phase—from birth through college—as well as a wide range of other topics.
These resources are available in the Narthex throughout the week or on the patio each Sunday morning. For more information or to borrow a resource, contact Beth Stoffregen.
