UMYF This Sunday (4/21): Over the past two weeks,
we’ve talked about judging the sin of others and acknowledging the sin in our
own lives. This Sunday, we’ll take it one step further and talk about what
happens when your faith starts to fade. How can we live boldly in a world that
sometimes drags us down? All 7th – 12th graders are invited and everyone should
bring a friend! We’ll meet in the gym from 6-8pm and have dinner, too.
30-hour Famine: Our 30-hour fast is quickly approaching! Only
8 more days to raise money to reach our goal of feeding 10 children for 1 year.
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 $3,600. Contact Elizabeth
with questions (econnell@hibbenumc.org) and get ready for a life changing
experience.
Youth Mentors Needed! I'm searching for 3-4 youth
who would like to accompany Hibben's rising 6th and 7th graders on a day trip
to Florence, SC on June 11. We're headed
to pack meals for Stop Hunger Now (you may remember hearing about this service
project during Revolution). The trip is
free and dinner is included, just bring lunch money. We’ll depart at 11:00am
and return at 9:00pm. Contact Elizabeth (econnell@hibbenumc.org) with questions or to sign
up! This will be a great way to earn service hours and build relationships with
the next generation of UMYF attendees.
Senior High Sunday
School: Attention 9th-12th graders - you've been working hard and learning
a lot (I hope) during Sunday School the past few weeks, so this Sunday we're
taking the show on the road. Please meet
in the youth room at 9:15am. We'll
gather there before heading to Starbucks to enjoy some fellowship. Please bring some money for a treat if you'd
like one!
Mark your
calendars: Graduation Sunday is
scheduled for May 19. If you're a member
of the Class of 2013 (high school or higher education graduate), PLEASE e-mail Elizabeth (econnell@hibbenumc.org)
to let her know. I want to properly
recognize all our graduates. Please
don't assume that I know you're graduating!
More info on Graduation Sunday festivities will be coming your way
soon.
Vacation Bible
School: Youth volunteers are needed
for VBS, June 16-19 at Hibben. This is a
great way to interact with Hibben's youngest members while earning service
hours over the summer. Hours are 6/16
from 1:30 - 5pm and 6/17-6/19 from 8:30am - 12:30pm. Please e-mail Elizabeth if you're available
at econnell@hibbenumc.org.
Meals needed: A huge thank you to those who have signed up
to provide dinner for an upcoming UMYF meeting.
There are only a couple of dates still in need of food: May 5 and May 19. If your family or small group can provide
dinner for 20 at 6pm on either date, please e-mail Elizabeth at
econnell@hibbenumc.org.
Summer Bible Study: Youth, would you be interested in attending a
mid-week Bible Study this summer? Days
and times are still in the works (no early mornings, promise!), but we'd love
to gather a small group to dig deeper into God's work and learn how it impacts
your life. If you'd be interested in
joining such a group, e-mail Elizabeth, econnell@hibbenumc.org.
