Youth Update

Hello everyone! Sorry we have not been updating this very frequently, but I will try to do it more!!

Upcoming news: Your kids should have brought home a flyer with TONS of dates on it for the next few months. If not, that is why I am going to rehash it all here.

Sunday, March 14th: Youth work day. We will have pizza after church and will clean and paint the youth room, done at 7 pm.

June 7-9/10: Youth Camp. Craig is working on putting together a 3-4 day youth camp for the youth. It will be a low cost trip and we will get information to you on that very soon. This camp will be open to all youth and will be a great time to get away, draw closer to God, and form lasting bonds with your youth group.

June 21st-25th. Vacation Bible School. We will be helping in all areas of VBS, Craig is leading rec and all of our youth lend a hand to make this a very successful ministry in our community. We will also have fun times planned for youth after VBS most days.

Mission Trip to Connecticut:
This is in the planning stages but we wanted to give parents a snapshot of our notes so far. We are meeting weekly to get a plan in place to give to you.

*Trip is open to youth that have completed 7th-12th grade. An alternate mission weekend will be planned for our current 6th graders. This was a hard decision, but based on our experience last year we feel it is best for this age.

*Dates: We will depart in the wee hours of July 16th and arrive back July 27th 0r 28th.

*After the mission work week, we will travel back through Amish Country in Lancaster, PA.

*We will be back in parks working in teams with kids from the area

*Parent Meeting April 11th right after church in the morning.

*$50 deposit due mid May

*Total cost unknown at this time
