Youth Sunday Planning:  This Sunday (10/10) is our last chance to put the finishing touches on a fabulous Youth Sunday service.  We'll be leading the congregation in worship on October 17.  PLEASE be in the choir room at 9:30AM SHARP this Sunday so we can hit the ground running.  There is lots to be accomplished, so eat your Wheaties and bring your smiling face!

UMYF This Sunday:  We're switching things up for youth this week (10/10), so check out the plan:

• 5:00pm:  Meet at Moe's on Longpoint Road for dinner!  Bring money for your food - a percentage of proceeds from food purchases on 10/10 will go to Operation Christmas Child.  After dinner, we'll hop on the church bus and head to Hibben.
• 6:00pm:  We'll attend a presentation from Dientje Kalisky-Adams, a Holocaust Survivor, in the sanctuary at Hibben.  Her presentation is open to all Hibben members and the public, and will last until approximately 8:00.  
• Parents!  You are welcome and encouraged to attend both dinner at Moe's (the more food we buy, the more money we raise!) AND Ms. Kalisky-Adams' presentation.  

COOKIES!!!

 A huge THANK YOU to everyone who helped bake cookies for the Kairos Prison Ministry last week.  We had a great time, baked a TON of cookies, and helped spread the message of God's love and mercy to prisoners.  Take a look:
