Happy Thursday, everyone! We've got a busy weekend ahead here at Hibben...
Youth Sunday is this Sunday (11/13). The youth will be leading worship at both the 8:15 and 10:30 services and honoring Hibben's veterans for Veterans Day. If you have an active part in leading worship, please be in the Narthex at 7:50am SHARP. All youth are encouraged to be there at both services. DOUGHNUTS will be served during Sunday School hour. Please bring any veteran profile pages that need to be posted on display boards.
DINNER NEEDED: We are in need of dinner for UMYF this Sunday (11/13). Can your family help? We need food for 20 people to be served at 6:15pm. Please call Elizabeth if you can help - 813-8700 or e-mail her at econnell@hibbenumc.org.
UMYF this Sunday (11/13): We will meet from 6-8pm in the CLLC for dinner (hopefully!), games, and a lesson on what it means to GLOW despite the negativity that sometimes surrounds us. You won't want to miss this lesson, which contains a science experiment with Mountain Dew.
Christmas Eve Handbells: Contact Elizabeth if you're interested in playing in a youth handbell choir on Christmas Eve at 5:30. There will be 4-5 practices in November and December. This is a great opportunity to use your gifts to serve the church (and it's really fun, too!).

UMYF News, 11/3
Life is busy, the demands that others place on us are sometimes overwhelming, and it seems there are never enough hours in the day. I invite you to come to a place of rest this Sunday...church! Gather with your church family on Sunday morning for Sunday School and worship, and make plans to be rejuvenated at the youth rally on Sunday night (11/6). It promises to be a night of great worship music, a thought-provoking message, and a special time to set aside the worries of the world and be reminded of the goodness of God.
This week's announcements include:
Hibben's Hosting! PLEASE make plans to attend youth THIS SUNDAY. We'll be hosting the District Youth Rally (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) has passed, but there are still TWO SPACES open 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.

THANK YOU!
Wow. It's been almost a week since last Sunday's SURPRISE wedding shower, and I still can't quite get over it. Did that really happen? Yes, apparently so. There are photos to prove it!
Thank you to everyone who had anything to do with the shower. Jeremy and I are so thankful for you and so humbled and appreciative for the outpouring of love that you showed us. It is so fun to be part of a group that shares sorrows and celebrates JOY. Thank you for the food, the games, the generous gifts, and most of all for keeping the secret a secret. It's a night we'll never forget.
Thanks to Jesse for these pictures. I sort of stole them from her Facebook page:
Here I am, quietly grilling Jeremy on how in the world all these details came together without me having any idea. I love this picture, and the expressions on both our faces. Good one, Jesse.
Here's the proudest moment of Jeremy's life. He's now the owner of TWO toilet brushes. I'm keeping a close eye on them to make sure they don't "mysteriously" disappear.
Loving the bow tie and hair bow, courtesy of David Lupo and Abby Stroud. The perfect accessories to our happy celebration!
Here's Noah and Julia, hard work on the fashion trend that's sure to be seen on European runways next spring. Princess Kate has nothing on Noah!
And, as most high fashion models usually do, Noah accompanies his wardrobe with some serious ATTITUDE. Work it, Noah. Work it.
Can you tell surprises make me slightly manic? Loving this gift from the Dorfners...loved getting showered with money even more! What a cute idea.
And a look at all the generous gifts. Also, I can't believe I wore Abby's bow in my hair the entire time. I must've been totally distracted by the gifts. Classic!
Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts. I can't wait to tell the story of our surprise shower in 20, 30, 40 years to whoever will still listen to it!

Challenge Course Photos!
As expected, the James Island Challenge Course was AWESOME! Thanks to those of you who were able to come, and to the rest of you who prayed I wouldn't lose my lunch while hanging 2 stories in the air from a rope.
It was a great afternoon of team building, name learning, fear conquering, and adrenaline rushes! Here are some pictures...enjoy!
A big thank-you to Adelaide Basco for taking such wonderful photos. If you weren't able to come along this time, don't worry! We'll definitely be back.

UMYF News, 6/2
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!
