Spring Retreat

March 24-26 - $80 - Deadline is March 5  

Worship and Retreat

This Saturday - Night of Worship - January 28 - 6:00pm

This weekend Michael Cooper will be in town to lead our “one service” Sunday.  While he is here we thought we would utilize his talents while we have him and put on an instrumental worship evening on Saturday night, January 28 at 6:00pm in the Teen area.  We are inviting other small groups to join us as well and encouraging the kids or whoever to invite anyone they may desire.  If this is something you would enjoy, then please come join us.  One need we do have is we want to provide childcare for younger couples who would like to join us.  I don't want to pull the teens out to do this because I would really like for them to experience the worship time.  So, maybe this style of worship isn't your cup of tea but you would be willing to serve in this area for others who would like to be there child free? Or maybe you want to be there, but would be willing to take a shift to help in this area? If you can help in this area please let Rosemary know.  Thanks

Ashlynn’s Trip

Ashlynn’s last day with us will be January 15.  She will be traveling shortly after that to Ecuador to work with an orphanage housing kids with disabilities for three months.  In order for her to have this opportunity she has to raise $3,000 to pay for flight and living expenses.  Im asking on her behalf (since she wont do it) to see if any of you would be in the position to help her raise this money. Any little bit will help her reach her goal.  I can assure you it will be money worth giving as I know Ashlynn will do great things there loving those kids with her kind heart.  You can make the check out to her….

Stuff

Christmas Movie Night - This Saturday December 10 - 6:00pm - Youth Area

We are going to gather in the youth area to watch a Christmas movie!  Dinner is not provided so if they desire to eat, they may want to do that before.  Snacks provided.  

Kid Craze - This Sunday December 11 - 4:30-7:30 - Kid's wing

This Sunday night we are going to help serve the families of our church by watching their kids while they have a night to shop or just relax.  Last time we did this the teens did such an awesome job of entertaining the kids.  We do need several adults to be there to help with the babies and be general chaperones throughout the night.  So, really do try and view this as a serving opportunity because it really is.  The parents of this group really appreciated this night the last time they did it.  

Girls Christmas Party - Sunday, December 18th - 6:00pm - Jacobs Home

The Jacobs family is inviting the teen girls to their home for a night of Christmas celebration.   

Party Time

UY Christmas Party This Sunday, December 4 - 5:00pm - Teen Area

First off I just want to make it clear that entire families are welcome to come to the Christmas party.  The games and shenanigans will be geared towards the teens but the food and fellowship is available to everyone.  

The first thing that makes a great Christmas party fly is the food and I need your help in making the food superbly awesome!  What we are going for is a smorgasbord of your best yummies.... doesnt matter what it is.  It can be finger food, casserole, dessert or a combination of all.  The way we are going to approach this is have you sign up HERE and indicate what you will be bringing so everyone else can see what their competition is. No Walmart cookies...  violators will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of Santa's naughty list.  Thanks in advance with your help with this.

What your kid needs to know.

1. We are going to do an all out costume Christmas.  Just think halloween but Christmas themed.  Ill just let the creativity roll from there.  Parents, feel free to jump in on this if you aren't too cool.  Best dressed will be remembered as a hero. 

2.  We will continue our annual Ornament competition.  They are to bring a homemade ornament and the most creative/funniest/all around awesome ornament maker will win a fairly stellar prize. Previous year's ornaments will be displayed on the humungous tree.

3.  No dirty santa this year... let's be honest, those are never that great. 

That about does it, I look forward to kicking off Christmas season with everyone!
