We had a great time rafting last weekend! Check out the two posts below for photos from the trip. As for news, check out ALL THESE NEW announcements:
Congrats! It's official...the Class of 2011 took the stage this week and they're officially high school graduates. We are so proud of each one of you!
Youth Sunday School: All rising 7th - 12th graders should gather in the classroom across from the restrooms in the CLLC on Sunday morning at 9:15. We're embarking on a summer of "get off the couch" mission and service projects. You'll get to choose what you'd like to work on. Don't miss it! Recent graduates, you are welcome to join us OR promote yourself to the Young Adult class, which meets at Mozzo's Deli (near Starbucks) starting at 9:15.
Help me! I'm in need of a few volunteers on Wednesday, June 8 from 10am - noon to help with some VBS prep. Projects include banner making, sign hanging, name-tag cutting, and more. If you're able to help, please let me know!
UMYF Sunday (6/5): All 7th - 12th graders are invited...6-8pm in the CLLC. Join us for dinner, games, and a lesson - all without using your thumbs (yes, there's a point, I promise). See you there! Please note, we won't have UMYF on 6/12 due to VBS.
WINGS choir visit: If you're a Lexington Salkehatchie veteran, you know Ms. Donna and her group from St. Mark's in Seneca, SC. Good news! Hibben is one of many stops on their summer choir tour this year. We'll be hosting them on Thursday, June 16 at 7pm as they present the musical/drama "Waiters." Please make plans to attend to support your Salkehatchie friends! Invite friends and family and help me spread the word!

Rafting. The action shots.

Rafting Fun, part one!
We had a GREAT time rafting over Memorial Day weekend on the Pigeon and Nantahala Rivers. The weather was amazing, the water wasn't too cold, and Lake Junaluska was a great "home base" during our trip. Want proof? Check out these pictures!
A little rock skipping on the Nantahala:
A group shot. This would be our album cover if we were rock stars:
Ok everybody...pick your neighbor's nose:
A few attempts at a jumping group before I was successful:
Will found big treasure in the river...some $4 plastic sunglasses!
Casey really did find treasure! I pair of Oakley's and a paddle. Braving the cold water was worth it!
Sarah and Jesse, soaking up the sun:
Walking back from dinner. What a great group!
And the ultimate indoor/outdoor basketball court. The scenery was amazing!
