Youth News, 8/8

Boat Day Thank You!  From the looks of pictures, boat day was a smashing success once again this year.  A special thanks to Brad Nyers for organizing our boats and captains, and to David Hand and Jimmy Hinson for volunteering their boats and time.  What a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon!  

UMYF This Sunday (8/11): The fun starts early this Sunday as we prepare for Hot Dogs and Hallelujahs!  7th – 12th graders, plan to arrive in the gym at 5pm to help prepare and serve dinner for our first-ever praise and worship service.  PLEASE BRING A DESSERT TO SHARE, and plan to stick around for worship, which ends at 7:30pm.  Invite your friends! 

Beach Bonfire (8/18): All 7th – 12th graders (and your friends!) are invited on 8/18 as we bid a fond farewell to Summer 2013 with a beach bonfire on Sullivan’s Island.  Meet at the church at 5pm; we will return at 8pm.  Dinner and s'mores will be provided, plus swimming if you’d like (bring a towel)!  Contact Carlsen Huey for more details: hueyjc@yahoo.com

August Sunday School Schedule:  7th - 12th graders, make a note of these activities and locations.

Mid-week Bible Study: All 7th – 12th graders are invited to our mid-week Bible Study, this Wednesday, 8/14.  We’ll gather from noon – 2pm at the Roberts’ house on Daniel Island and enjoy PIZZA and some great discussion.  Come and be encouraged and challenged in your faith before school starts!  If you need directions or transportation, please contact Jennifer at jcsroberts@yahoo.com or 270-1161.


Handing over the reins!  Today (8/8) is my last day before my maternity leave begins, which means the reins are officially being handed over to Kim Dowd until my return in late September.  Many of you have had a chance to meet Kim and welcome her.  I'm excited for you all to get to know her better and to experience lots of fun and learning over the next weeks.  You are in great hands!  If you need anything in my absence, or have any questions about activities, please contact Kim at kimdowd26@gmail.com or 843-610-9898.  Thank you all for your prayers for Jeremy, the baby, and me.  We will be sure to share any news of Baby Connell's arrival as soon as there's news to share.  (Hopefully very, very soon.)
