Youth News, 8/30


No UMYF This Sunday (9/2): Happy Labor Day! We will meet next Sunday (9/9) from 6-8pm in the CLLC. All 7th – 12th graders are invited to come see what happens when you GET OFF THE PEW during a worship service. The results will amaze you! Come for games, food, and a new perspective.

Operation Christmas Child Involvement! Our toy gathering for Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes has officially begun! Your first challenge: look through your toy chests and the dark corners of your closets. If you have “GENTLY USED”, “LIKE NEW” matchbox cars, small stuffed animals (like Beanie Babies), or long forgotten Legos, donate them to this wonderful cause. Any small toy in good condition will brighten the lives of children around the world. Collection boxes can be found near all children and youth Sunday School classrooms.

Also, remember that any offering you bring to Sunday School on Sunday mornings will be used to support the purchase of shoebox gifts for Hibben's Packing Party on October 28.  Bring your spare change or leftover lunch money and plan to give generously. 

Need Service Hours? If you need to earn service hours, Beth Hernandez could use your help organizing clothes and food in the pantry for The Table.  If you would be interested in lending a helping hand, please contact Elizabeth (884-9761) or econnell at hibbenumc dot com.
