Youth News, 3/28

Please note: UMYF will not meet this Sunday (3/31). Enjoy Easter with your loved ones and have a safe and restful Spring Break. We will meet again on 4/7.

Meals on Wheels: Do something good during Spring Break!  Meals on Wheels is in need of our help on Tuesday, April 2 from 10:30 - 2pm during their annual canned food drive.  We will be receiving, sorting, and stocking donations as well as any other tasks they need.  Volunteers must be 12 years of age or older (adults are welcome, too!).  If you are interested, please email Elizabeth (econnell@hibbenumc.org) ASAP!  We need a group of 10 - 15 people.

30-hour Famine: Join Hibben’s team! All 7th – 12th graders (and any adults who’d like to join our fast) should go to 30hourfamine.com and join Hibben’s fundraising team. Our fast will be April 26-27, and our goal is to raise enough money to feed 10 people for 1 year. We’ve got our sights set on raising $3,600 or more and we need your help. Contact Elizabeth with questions (econnell@hibbenumc.org) and get ready for a life changing experience.

Salkehatchie: Applications for Salkehatchie Summer Service are due NOW to the state office in Columbia!  Don't miss out on this great week of service and fellowship.  Hibben will be sending groups to Spartanburg, June 15-22 and to Lexington County, July 13-20 (or, you can pick another camp that works with your schedule). Volunteers must be 14 years of age or older.  To register, go to salkehatchie.org, print the application, and mail it to the address at the bottom of the form. SPACES ARE FILLING UP, so register now if you haven’t already! Once your application has been sent, please notify Elizabeth by e-mailing econnell@hibbenumc.org. Financial assistance is available!

CLASS OF 2013!  Graduation Sunday will be on May 19 this year, and we want to be sure you are properly recognized.  If you are a member of the Class of 2013, please e-mail Elizabeth (econnell@hibbenumc.org) with your name and future plans.  Also, applications are now being accepted for the Mallard Sweat Scholarship.  You can find the application at www.hibbenumc.org by clicking on the "Publications" button.  Applications are due to the front office by noon on April 30 (no exceptions).
