UMYF this Sunday (9/30): It’s “Scramble Night”, where we throw the normal schedule out the window and do
everything out of order. Seems like life’s that way sometimes, too, doesn’t
it? In the midst of the mix-ups, we’ll discover how God helps us make sense of
the madness. All 7th graders are invited from 6-8pm in the CLLC.
Sr. High Sunday School: A new study starts THIS SUNDAY(9/30)! All
9th – 12th graders are encouraged to attend our 8-week study of Dave Ramsey’s
“Generation Change”, created specifically for this age group. Gain a new
perspective on how self-worth and financial responsibility are closely linked to
your relationship with God. Class meets from 9:15 – 10:15am in the Youth Room
each Sunday morning.
Dinner Needed: If you, your family, or small group would
be able to provide a meal for an upcoming UMYF meeting, please contact Elizabeth
at econnell@hibbenumc.org or
884-9761. Meals are needed for 20 people, served at 6pm on the following
dates: October 7, 14, and 21. This is a great way to provide meaningful
support of Hibben’s youth ministry.
Youth Music Practice: If you have even one single musical bone in your body, your talent is needed at
youth music practice today from 4:30 – 6pm. With the help of Joe Rhyne, we’ll
continue preparing 3 songs to be offered during worship at The Well on October
14. Last week’s practice was awesome! Bring your instrument and/or voice and
join in!
Pitch in! The Youth and Children's Ministries at Hibben have been challenged to collect 600 toys for Hibben's Operation Christmas Child packing party on October 28. That means we have about 1 month, and a lot of collecting to do! How can you help? You can donate gently used toys of your own, you can purchase small toys (no military themed, please), or you can continue to give generously during Sunday School offering. Pitch in today and help us reach our goal!

Youth News, 9/20
UMYF this Sunday: All 7th – 12th graders are invited to the CLLC tonight from 6-8pm. BRING YOUR
BIBLE so you can open it and read it after dinner and games. Fun for all, and a
stretch for you brain and your faith!
Sunday School "Breakfast Sunday"! After 5-weeks of lessons and studying the Bible, this Sunday during Sunday School will be a chance to kick back, relax, and enjoy some breakfast with your friends. Doughnuts will be provided, and it's up to you guys to bring the rest! Pitch in with some juice, milk, get fancy and bring breakfast casserole, fruit, muffins, or your other favorite-but-slightly-weird breakfast treat. All 7th - 12th graders will meet in the YOUTH ROOM in the CLLC from 9:15 - 10:15am. See you there!
Get Involved! If you haven't been at UMYF lately, you missed a chance to sign-up to get involved in all aspects of worship services at Hibben. Instead of having one "Youth Sunday" this year, we are attempting to make every Sunday Youth Sunday! Would you like to get involved in ushering, greeting, scripture reading, acolyting, hosting at The Well (providing refreshments), helping with Children's Church, sharing about your faith journey (like Salkehatchie or other mission projects)? If so, talk with Elizabeth (884-9761 or econnell@hibbenumc.org) to get involved. GET OFF THE PEW!
Ski Trip Survey: You may notice a "poll" at the top of the H.Y.P.E.R. this week. Please take a moment to vote and express your interest level in a ski trip in January 2013. The same survey can be found on the UMYF Facebook page. Tentative plans include a trip January 18-21, cost would be about $300 per person. Other details TBD - the first step is to gauge interest! If you'd rather, you can e-mail your thoughts to Elizabeth (econnell@hibbenumc.org).
Rally in the Park: Final RSVP's for the Charleston District Youth Rally are DUE! The rally will take place at James Island Count Park on Saturday, September 29 from 1:30 - 6pm. Cost is $5 per person and includes outdoor activities, dinner, and a special worship service (including band, rapper, and speaker!). If you are interested in attending, please e-mail Elizabeth (econnell@hibbenumc.org) NOW so we can give our head count to the event organizers.
Meals Needed: A huge thanks to those of you who have volunteered to provide dinner for UMYF meetings! Many of our dates have been filled, but there are still some opportunities available. If your family could provide dinner for around 20 people at 6pm on one of the following dates, please let me know: October 7, October 14, October 21.

There are lots of announcements this week, so extra bonus points to you if you read all the way to the end. And everyone could use a few more bonus points, couldn't they?
UMYF this Sunday (9/16): Put on your game face and get ready for a night of Minute-To-Win-It style games! All 7th - 12th graders are invited to the CLLC from 6-8pm. We'll have dinner and then compete our little hearts in a variety of ridiculous games. You may not ever make it to the Olympics by mastering these games, but you could win a candy bar, so there's that...
Youth Band Practice! If you have any interest at all in participating in playing or singing music at an upcoming worship service, please plan to come to the CLLC THIS SUNDAY (9/16) at 4:30pm. This will be the first meeting of what we hope will become a great way for you to get involved in worship leadership. Please bring your instrument, your voice, your ideas, and your patience! A big thanks to Joe Rhyne for his passion for this project. Our goal is to have several songs prepared for the October 14 service at The Well.

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.
(And finally, you there. Yes, you. The one STILL reading this post. Bless your soul. 1,000 bonus points for you. While sadly these points can't really be redeemed for anything, it's my way of showing how much I appreciate you!)
