Quick Reminder and a Request

Fall Retreat - October 2-4 - Mentone, AL
This Sunday (September 20) is the deadline to register for this year's fall retreat.  You can do so HERE.  The cost is $55.  I also want to ask you guys to begin praying for this weekend we will have together.  Retreats are such a vital part in our group growing together.  It's a chance to get away and devote an entire weekend to drawing in to God's Spirit.  Pray for God to use this time we have together to impact His kingdom by transforming our hearts to line up with His.  

HELP!?
There are several students who want to be able to go on the retreat but have conflicting commitments on the Friday evening we leave.  I was hoping that someone would be willing to take one for the UY team and drive them up late Friday night so they could be a part of the weekend.  You are more then welcome to stay the weekend with us or return home whenever you desire.  Depending on how many kids will be wanting to come late, the small bus is available for use.  If you have a larger vehicle that will hold them, we will reimburse you for the gas.  There are no guarantees but Im pretty sure this single act of service will grant you a full size Jacuzzi in your mansion in Heaven.  If you would be willing, please let me know.  Thanks

Tubes, groups and sign-ups

This Weekend
I know there may be some going out of town for labor day weekend but for those teens hanging around we are going to be doing a couple of different things.  

-Tubing the Cahaba River - This Saturday, September 5th
We are going to be heading to Brent, AL, about 30 minutes away, to tube the Cahaba river.  We will be leaving from the building at 10:30am.  The cost will be $20 and they will need to bring a sack lunch with them.  Pick-up from the building will be at 4:30pm.

-Hang night - This Sunday, September 6th 
We will be gathering at the building at 6:00pm to hang out.  They can eat before they come or bring their dinner with them.  We will wrap things up at 9:00pm

Small Groups
I try to keep communication between those in the UY small group and those who aren't separate. Since there is no official sign-up this year, I need to know who plans to join the UY small group so I can communicate appropriately.  So, if your family is intending to be a part of it, I need you to click HERE and enter your family’s name in the space provided.  Also, we will not be meeting as a small group this upcoming Sunday but will begin our regular gatherings on September 13.

Fall Retreat Sign-up
Registration for our Fall Retreat, October 2-4, is now open.  Click HERE to register your teen(s) to be a part of it.  Cost is $55 and deadline to sign up/pay will be September 20th.
