UMYF News, 3/22

UMYF This Sunday:  We're back in action tonight from 6-8pm in the CLLC for session 5 of The Journey to Hope.  It's all about recharging your physical, emotional, and spiritual batteries...and you'll have the chance to win CANDY!  See you for dinner, games, and a little learning along the way. 

Salkehatchie Deadline Fast Approaching:  If you haven't started on your registration for Salkehatchie, get to work!  The deadline for forms and payment is March 31 (that’s a week from Saturday!).  Visit www.salkehatchie.org to download the form, and let Elizabeth know once you've mailed your info to the Salkehatchie office so you can be added to Hibben's transportation list.  Hibben will be sending groups to Spartanburg (June 16 - 23) and Lexington (July 7 - 14). PLEASE NOTE: If you need financial assistance, please see Elizabeth!  Don’t let money stand in the way of this amazing experience. 

TLC Needed! We're just a few days away from getting all new (matching!) furniture for the Youth Room, which means we need to get to work on sprucing up the space. We'll have a work day TOMORROW (3/23) starting at 10am.  There's no school, so you have no excuse!  Lend a helping hand with projects like cleaning, building, painting, and more.  Lunch will be provided, so come when you can and stay as long as you can!  If you’re busy in the morning but can come in the afternoon, call Elizabeth (813-8700) to make sure we’re still working. 

“The Table” Block Party:  Mark your calendars for Saturday, April 21 from 11am – 1pm for the first ever block party, sponsored by Hibben’s Homeless Ministry, “The Table.”  We’ll be grilling up hamburgers and hot dogs for our neighbors and community, welcoming them for a free lunch, some encouragement, and some food and necessities to take with them.  Make plans to come out and pitch in for this rewarding cause.
