Cleaning Party - This Saturday, April 11 - 4:00pm
That’s right, we are going to make a party out of cleaning the youth area.  It’s in need of some deep cleaning so I thought who better to clean it than the ones who messed it up… your sweet children! Dinner will be provided and I actually do anticipate this being fun! Or look at it as a service opportunity, however they need to spin it in their minds is fine with me.  

Family Group (Teens)
UY Family Group will be gathering this Sunday evening at the Boykin house at 6:00pm. Their address is:
707 30th Ave.
Northport, AL 35476

Retreat Info (You can skip this one if your teen is going!)
This is only for those who have kids attending the retreat but in order to cut down on emails you receive, Im just throwing this info in this blog post.

We will be leaving the Church building at 4:30pm on Friday, April 20 and returning by 11:00am on Sunday, April 22.  The idea is to be back in time for second service.  

What they will need to bring:
Bible
Money for 2 fast food meals
Toiletries (Shampoo, soap, deo, etc…)
Towel
Sleeping bag or bedding for bunk bed
Pillow
Active clothes for our Saturday activities and weather appropriate clothing the rest of the time

Im really glad your teen has decided to join us for this and I anticipate God teaching us some great things with our time together.  Please be praying for the weekend and that He will make himself evident to us!

OUTCRY - Monday, April 23 (This is for Juniors and Seniors)

OUTCRY is a one night event in Birmingham.  Its like a conference crammed into one night.  The tickets I have are limited so that’s why the grade limitation.  We will leave the building at 5:00pm and it might be a little late when we get back.  I know it being a school night might be an issue for some but this really should be a great night of worship together.
Click Here if you want to check out the website.  If your Junior or Senior wants to go, the 
ticket is $20
