Revolution Re-cap
2012 marked the third year of Revolution, the state-wide youth conference in Columbia, and this year was the best yet! We were welcomed to the Colonial Life Arena for three days of music, laughter, new friends, and one of the best speakers ever...Jeniffer Dake! Check out these pictures and make sure to sign-up next year. It's one of the best weekends of the whole year!

UMYF News, 3/22
UMYF This Sunday: We're back in action tonight from 6-8pm in
the CLLC for session 5 of The Journey to Hope. It's all about recharging
your physical, emotional, and spiritual batteries...and you'll have the
chance to win CANDY! See you for dinner, games, and a little learning
along the way.
Salkehatchie Deadline Fast
Approaching: If you haven't
started on your registration for Salkehatchie, get to work! The deadline
for forms and payment is March
31 (that’s a week from Saturday!). Visit www.salkehatchie.org to download the
form, and let Elizabeth know once you've mailed your info to the Salkehatchie
office so you can be added to Hibben's transportation list. Hibben
will be sending groups to Spartanburg (June 16 - 23) and Lexington (July 7 - 14). PLEASE
NOTE: If you need financial assistance, please see Elizabeth! Don’t let money stand in the way of this
amazing experience.
TLC Needed! We're just a few days away from getting all new
(matching!) furniture for the Youth Room, which means we need to get to
work on sprucing up the space. We'll have a work day TOMORROW (3/23) starting

hand with projects like cleaning, building, painting, and
more. Lunch will be provided, so come when you can and stay as long as
you can! If you’re busy in the morning but can come in the afternoon,
call Elizabeth (813-8700) to make sure we’re still working.

TLC Needed! If you swing by the youth room on Sunday, you'll
notice that something's missing...ALL THE FURNITURE! We're just 12

school, so you have no excuse! Lend a helping hand with projects
like cleaning, building, painting, and more. Lunch will be

Youth Room!

UMYF News, 3/8
UMYF this
Sunday (3/11): How many truly important things do
you miss in life because you're busy with insignificant things? It's a
little scary to think about! All 7th - 12th graders are invited Sunday to
take the Ultimate Awareness Test. I
failed it the first time I took it…will you? See you from 6-8pm in the
CLLC.
Sr. High Sunday
School: This Sunday (3/11) bring a little coffee
money. We’re taking a break from our “Sticky
Faith” study to head to Starbucks for some coffee and conversation. Meet in the Youth Room at 9:15am and we’ll
walk over together.
Help Needed! Youth AND parents…your help is needed on Wednesday,
March 14 at The Gathering to help beef up the UMYF Scholarship fund, which
helps folks pay for trips and activities. Come on over after school to
help cook and serve dinner, and have fun in the process. We'll be
finished at 6:45pm. This is a great way to earn service hours while
helping your friends!
Schedule note: There will be no UMYF on March 18 due to Revolution.
Salkehatchie: If you haven't
started on your registration for Salkehatchie, get to work! The deadline

UMYF News, 3/1
UMYF this Sunday! I must really, really love the youth at Hibben (I do!) because on Sunday, I'm unveiling a slide show of my most terrible hair moments. Here's a sneak peak, age 10:
Bad, right? There's a point, I promise! Where does your self esteem come from? Having good hair? Nice shoes? Lots of friends? Or does it come from knowing you're made in the image of God? Bad hair changes (thankfully!), but God never does. Come from 6-8pm on Sunday to see (lots) more bad hair, plus games, dinner, and a self-esteem boost.
Kairos Cookies! Break out the mixing bowl and preheat the oven this weekend to do some cookie baking to support Kairos Prison Ministry. Karen King is headed to prison next week to minister to the inmates, and she needs our cookies. Bring your donation to Sunday School UMYF on Sunday.
Help needed! Consider helping out at the Belize Silent Auction on March 10 from 5-9pm. Volunteers are needed to serve food, help people at the auction, and generally be friendly. If you’re busy on the 10th, then come on the 9th after school and help with the auction set-up. Who says you can’t be a missionary to Belize by helping out here at home?!?! Let me know if you’d like more info about this opportunity.
