Youth News, 5/23

We had a great time at last Sunday's Beach Sweep.  The weather held off for us and we left Sullivan's Island a little cleaner than we found it.  Thanks to everyone who came out to help!

A few announcements:

UMYF Schedule Note: We will not meet this Sunday, May 26. Happy Memorial Day weekend! We will meet again on June 2 from 6-8pm.

Sunday School:  A couple of things to pass along about Sunday School for the next few weeks. 

• May 26 (This Sunday):  Jr. and Sr. High classes will meet in the youth room to finish planning for Superheros of the Bible (details below).  Please come if you can - we've got a lot of work to do and only one more hour to finish it all!
• June 2: It's Promotion Sunday.  All youth: please gather in the sanctuary at 9:15.  After participating in the first part of the promotion service, you'll be dismissed to go to the gym to help Terry Lupo with a MEGA Backpack Buddies packing party.  See you there! (Parents are encouraged to attend, too.) 
• Starting June 9: All youth will lead the children through Superheros of the Bible activities.  You're asked to come to the gym at 9:15 SHARP to receive your assignment for the day.  Superheros of the Bible will last through August 4 and promises to be lots of fun! 

Superheros of the Bible! Our summer Sunday School program for kids will begin on June 9 in the gym at 9:15am. Each week through August 4, kids ages 5-years – rising 6th grade will learn about ordinary people in the Bible who God used in SUPER HEROIC ways! Hibben’s teens will lead the group through games, crafts, and Bible story time. Parents should drop kids off in the gym at 9:15am and sign them out at 10:15am. 3 and 4-year olds should go to the nursery.

Vacation Bible School: I need help from youth during VBS.  June 16 (in the afternoon) and June 17-19 (until noon).  Help is needed in various roles at various stations.  Please e-mail Elizabeth (econnell@hibbenumc.org) if you are able to help.  This is a great and fun way to earn service hours!
