Upcoming Events

So there are like 400 trillion things coming down the pike in the Youth Ministry right now, give or take a few hundred trillion.

This Saturday, from 9:30 am to 2 pm, we are having what our Servantship Team has called SHARK, which stands for Scavenger Hunt And Random Kindness. The acronym exists for 3 simple reasons. 1. Acronyms are awesome. 2. Sharks are awesome. 3. Sharks plus acronyms are double awesome - just like serving people in kindness and having fun while doing it is double awesome. You didn't think I was going to be able to pull that off, did you? Anyway, don't miss this on Saturday, members of our Servantship Team have been working hard to get it together and it should be a great chance to learn a little about the impact of simply acting out loving kindness in public. After serving in the morning, we'll all eat lunch at CiCi's, then return to the church building for a slide show. All the teens will need to bring is money for lunch.

The Spring Retreat is just around the corner. It is May 7-9th at PBC. For more info, click here.  To be signed up, I need a medical release/permission form turned in no later than May 2nd.  If you cannot print from your computer, there are copies on the table outside the Youth Room.  This trip is open to 7th-12th grades and the registration cost is $35 per person.

Our Vision Retreat this year is June 4-6th.  We will be going to my parents' house in Murphy, NC.  If your child is on the Servantship Team, they are expected to attend this weekend if at all possible.  There is no cost for the trip other than for food.  

Impact is in June.  Jr. Impact (for grades 6-8) is June 17-21st and Sr. Impact (grades 9-12) is June 21-26.  The cost for is $145 for Jr. and $205 for Sr.  To sign up, I need a medical release/permission form turned in and an Impact application.  Both are due by May 15th and will be available outside the Youth Room.

In July (the 21-25) we will be in Murphy, NC for our summer mission trip.  We will be helping the congregation there gain inroads with the community through service to both the community and to individuals.  The cost for this trip will be around $150-175 and is open to grades 7-12.  The more teens we have attending, the more good we will be able to provide for the Murphy church and community.  More information on the sign-up process and cost will be available soon.
