Tiny retreat, Tassels and Important Deadlines

The Bridge Mini- Retreat

This upcoming Friday night we will be having a mini retreat for the Bridge group.  The idea here is that this will allow those kids in the 5th and 6th grade to be acclimated to the UY as they prepare to transition into the youth group in the next few months and year to come.  The UY leadership team has been in the process of planning this over night retreat but the entire youth group is invited to join us.  We will be gathering at Zidon Avisha at 4:00pm this upcoming Friday, April 3rd and the retreat will end at 2:00pm on Saturday.  There is no cost to attend but we do ask that your teen bring some sort of snack to throw into the snack buffet. Transportation will be the responsibility of those coming (Zidon Avisha is local at 11495 Malone Creek Rd, Elrod, AL). All they will need to bring is bedding, toiletries, and a change of clothes.  As always, if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.  

Graduation Celebration Sunday

This year we will be celebrating our graduating seniors a bit earlier than usual.  On Sunday, April 12th there will be combined classes between our two services where we will recognize both the high school and college graduates.  Following second service, just our UY families will be gathering to have lunch together in the UCM room. We hope you can make it.

Deadline for Spring Retreat

I have to submit final numbers to Winshape wilderness on Monday which means THIS SUNDAY is the deadline to sign-up for our spring retreat.  You can sign your teen up HERE if you have not already done so.  The cost is $80.  I will be out of town in Sneedville this Sunday so if you want you can just leave your payment in my box just outside the main office.  

Next Wednesday Night

Technically there are no church meetings next Wednesday night because of spring break. However, for those teens who are in town, we are going to plan to get together to just hang out. TBA on exactly what that will entail.  

Reiterations

Wednesday Time Change
As you may be aware, the church as a whole is changing the meeting time on Wednesday nights to 6:00pm and just to be clear, UY will make that change as well. 

Sneedville Mission
Deadline for sign-up is the Sunday March 8.  Again, cost is $40 and they can sign up by submitting those funds.
