Sweet Hollow Presbyterian Youth Group 

The Youth Group of the Presbyterian Church of Sweet Hollow in the Huntington area of Melville, NY is for young people who are in grades 6-12 and welcomes the youth of our church and their friends.

The YG meets every second and fourth Sunday of the month from September to June.  Our last meeting date in the 2009-2010 season is June 13, 2010.  We meet from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. and share a family-style meal together before the program, which consists of games, discussion and if the weather permits, a bonfire outdoors on the Great Lawn.

In addition to having a great time together, we are also committed to making a difference in our community and our world.  This year’s focus is on Hunger Relief.  We are participating in a CROP Walk alongside 4 other Huntington are Presbyterian churches in the fall 2009 and doing the 30-Hour Famine in late February 2010.

Additionally, every summer we go on a Mission Trip to serve those in need.  Recently, we have gone to Heifer International’s Overlook Farm in Rutland, MA with young people from the Presbyterian Church in Garden City where we spent five days on a working farm caring for the animals and learning more about global hunger and sustainability.  Next summer’s trip is still in the planning stages, but the likelihood is that we will be doing ministry in an urban center such as Philadelphia or Washington, D.C.

Youth Group is a great place to learn about God, yourself, your neighbor and how you can become the person God imagines you to be – and have a great time doing it!  We hope you join us soon.
