Lots to get to in this H.Y.P.E.R. update! First, check out last week's recap below...

UMYF, Sunday 1/17: Celebrate the long weekend by coming BOWLING with us on Sunday night. We'll leave the parking lot at 6:00 SHARP and head to Twin River Lanes, returning to Hibben around 8:30. Cost per person is $9, plus bring some extra for dinner at the lanes. If you need help wih cost, please e-mail me! (eskogman@hibbenumc.org)

Revolution: Only 4 spots remain for Revolution in Columbia, January 22 - 24. Join in the fun of this weekend of music, speakers, and life-changing inspiration. NEW DEVELOPMENT: We'll be traveling and rooming with the youth group from Isle of Palms UMC. The cost per person is $60 and includes event tickets, 2 nights in a hotel, transportation, 2 breakfasts. You'll need some extra cash for 1 lunch and 2 dinners. E-mail or call me ASAP if you're interested in coming! eskogman@hibbenumc.org or 813-8700.

Ministry Fair/Pancake Breakfast: I need some volunteers to go around to Adult Sunday School classes at 9:15 this Sunday to sell tickets to the Pancake Breakfast that we're hosting on January 31. If you are willing to help with this effort, please e-mail me at eskogman@hibbenumc.org.

Operation Christmas Child Update: I wanted to pass along some powerful news from Pam Thesing. The Operation Christmas Child shoe boxes that we put together in November have made their way to their excited recipients. Each box had a bar code so we'd know where it ended up. So far, children in the following countries have received our boxes:

Zambia (2)
Cameroon
Madagascar (2)
Central Asia
Zimbabwe
Central African Republic

Isn't it cool to see how our work here in Mt. Pleasant is positively impacting people all over the world?!?! You guys are amazing!
