I started this post trying to list announcements in order of importance, until I realized that they're ALL timely and important! Please read this information carefully so you can be fully involved in all the events and activities coming up:
UMYF Sunday (10/30): We'll meet in the CLLC from 6-8pm for our regularly scheduled program. This time, we'll have a costume contest (no need to dress up before you come...unless you want to...I'll have plenty of props ready!) and talk about how to spot bad things that are disguised as good things. Learn how to avoid the tricks while getting all God's treats!
Hibben's Hosting! PLEASE make plans to attend youth on Sunday, November 6. We'll be hosting the District Youth Rally that night (for the first time in at least 3 years!), and I need your help to be a friendly, welcoming face to other Charleston youth groups. We'll need help starting at 4pm for dinner prep and set-up. The event is from 5-7pm in the CLLC.
Ski Trip Deadline: The deadline to register for the 2012 Ski Trip (January 13 - 16 at Winterplace) is THIS TUESDAY (November 1). We must have 15 people signed up by 11/1 in order to proceed with plans for the trip. A deposit of $135 and a registration form are required to hold your space. If you need fundraising help, please let Elizabeth know (econnell@hibbenumc.org) - we've got lots of easy opportunities coming up to help raise money for your trip fees. It's time to commit!!!
Youth Sunday: If you aren't coming to Sunday School, you're
missing the chance to help plan Youth Sunday, scheduled for November
13. We're going to honor our veterans and we need your help! Join in
the planning at 9:15 on Sunday mornings in the youth room.
Christmas Eve Youth Handbells: It's already time to start thinking about Christmas Eve! Amy McCurley is ready to direct a youth handbell choir for the special family service on 12/24. If you participated last year, you know how fun and easy practices were, and you also know what a wonderful addition your music was to the service. If you are interested in participating, please contact Elizabeth at econnell@hibbenumc.org. There will be 4-5 practice sessions in the months of November and December.
Whew! Lots of great stuff going on. Hope to see you at all these upcoming events so we can learn, grow, and fellowship together.
