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.
