UMYF News, 4/19

Several odds-and-ends to fill you in on this week.  Let's get started, shall we?!?!

UMYF this Sunday (4/24):  We will not have UMYF this Sunday.  Enjoy Easter with your families!

Youth Rally:  Make plans now to attend the Charleston District Youth Rally on Sunday, May 1 at Asbury/St. James UMC downtown. We'll leave Hibben at 4:30 and return at 7:30pm. Don't miss this night of food, games, and worship with other youth groups!

Vacation Bible School:  I need youth helpers during VBS this year (June 12 - 15)!  This is a great chance for you to serve the kids of Hibben and lend a helping hand...to me!  Youth who volunteer will work as "team leaders", building relationships with the kids and participating with them at station activities.  The younger kids look up to you all so much and would LOVE to be able to hang with you during VBS.  If you're interested, please e-mail me (eskogman@hibbenumc.org), call me 813-8700, or tell me next time you see me!  


Attention parents!  If you haven't yet participated in a Serving From The Heart study to discover your spiritual gifts, a new class is starting on May 1.  Jennifer Roberts will lead a group through the study during Sunday School hour in the Joe Taylor classroom.  For more info, e-mail Jennifer at jcsroberts@yahoo.com or call 884-9761.  Don't miss this great study!

UMYF News, 4/13

Hope you're all hanging in there for the last few days before SPRING BREAK!  I'm sure you're looking forward to a week of relaxation, travel (for some), and celebrating spring.  Be safe, whatever your Spring Break plans are. 

UMYF Sunday (4/17):  All 7th - 12th graders are invited to join us in the CLLC from 6-8pm as we put the finishing touches on our "24-hours That Changed The World" mural.  Come for dinner and get crafty!

One word: LOCK-IN

Lock-in 2011 happens TOMORROW (Friday, April 8) starting at 6pm until 7am Saturday.  We've got food, basketball, fly swatter hockey, laser tag, ping pong, fooze ball, flower pot painting, Easter egg stuffing, board games, movies, video games, and more, more, more! 

If you're in 7th or 8th grade, bring 2, 2 liters of soda.
If you're in 9th or 10th grade, bring a salty snack to share.
If you're in 11th or 12th grade, bring a dessert to share.

If you have other obligations Friday night, you can come late to the lock-in!  If you have something happening Saturday, come to the lock-in and leave early!  All I ask is that you be settled (either at the lock-in or at home) by midnight. 

Other events:
Shag Party!  Join Hibben members on Saturday night, April 9 from 6:30 - 8:30 for a Shag Party in the CLLC.  There will be shag lessons, snacks, and FUN!  This is a great event for the whole family.

UMYF Sunday:  Due to lock-in recovery, we will not have UMYF this Sunday (4/10).  See you on 4/17 from 6-8pm.
