Youth News, 7/26


Riverdogs Outing: We're headed to the Riverdogs game THIS Friday (July 27)...as in tomorrow!  There's still time to reserve a ticket.  The cost is $8 and we'll be meeting at Hibben for a little pre-game cookout at 5:00pm.  We'll eat dinner and then head to the game with our friends from Redbank UMC in Lexington.  You might have met some of these guys at Lexington Salkehatchie, and they're in town for the weekend!  We'll return to the church after the game (and fireworks!), around 10:30pm.  E-mail Elizabeth (econnell@hibbenumc.org) ASAP to save your spot.

UMYF Sunday (7/29): All 7th – 12th graders are invited for our last meeting of July, this Sunday from 6-8pm in the CLLC. We’ll have dinner, play games, and have a lively, non-violent debate about violence. Leave your weapons at home.  See you there!

Boat Day: It's back by popular demand!  Boat Day will be on August 5 from 1:30 - 5:30pm.  Drop-off and pick-up will be at Remley's Point boat landing.  There is no cost to attend, but you MUST reserve your space so we're sure to have enough room on the boats.  E-mail Elizabeth to save your seat (econnell@hibbenumc.org).  If you'd be willing to lend your boat and captaining skills to the event, please contact Brad Nyers at 881-5901. 

UMYF meals needed:  If your family is able to provide dinner for 20 people on one of the following dates for UMYF, please e-mail Elizabeth (econnell@hibbenumc.org).  Dinner is served at 6pm and is needed on:  August 12, August 19, August 26, September 9, September 16, and September 23.  Help us keep this wonderful tradition alive! 

Some calendar notes: 
Promotion Sunday for Sunday School will be on August 19 at 9:15 in the sanctuary. 
Family Paddle, August 26: sponsored by Hibben's Health and Wellness Committee, this sounds like a really fun event!  Check out Hibben Happenings for more info on Sunday. 
Saturday, September 29: Charleston District Youth Rally!  It's going to be an amazing day with other UMC's in the Charleston District at James Island County Park.  We'll spend the day playing before worship and dinner.  Make new friends and have fun outside!  More details coming soon.

Thank you for all your prayers for the group who participated in Salkehatchie last week at the camp in Lexington County and the one in Dillon, SC.  We had an amazing time filled with hard work, new friends, and learning more about the God we serve.  Check out facebook for lots of pictures.

UMYF this Sunday (7/22):  We'll meet from 6-8pm in the CLLC for dinner, games, and to learn a little something new.  Join in the fun!


Riverdogs outing! Mark your calendars for a trip to the ballpark to see the Riverdogs on Friday, July 27! Cost is $8 per person. To save your spot, e-mail Elizabeth at econnell@hibbenumc.org. More details to follow about times, etc. We’ll take in the game with our friends from Redbank UMC in Lexington (some of our new Salkehatchie friends!).  Parents and siblings are invited to come along!


Fall Festival: There will be a meeting after worship services this Sunday (7/22) about planning for Hibben's Fall Festival.  Megan Yaeger has volunteered to attend on behalf of the youth to find out how we can be involved.  If you're interested in helping with this project, please plan to attend the meeting with Megan and e-mail Elizabeth (econnell@hibbenumc.org) so we can make some plans!  This event is a great chance to give back to our local community.
