Uncharted Territories...Big Deal!

Hey Everyone:

Thsi is the year of the Presbyterian Youth Triennium. You may recall one of our youth group graduates coming and telling us all about it and an earlier youth group. As she pointed out, we have not had youth attend triennium for many, many years (possibly nine). Let's change that!

Youth Triennium is a gathering of around 5000 youth at Purdue University for July 15-20, 2013 and seeks to connect youth with experiences that inspire them to be alert and active and to seek ways to connect their lives with their growing faith.

This is a major opportunity for high school youth looking to have a significant faith and leadership experience as well as make connections with others from around the country. You can find out more about the event by going to www.presbyterianyouthtriennium.org .

The cost is $469.00, plus travel. We are committed to making sure money is not an issue for anyone interested in this opportunity. I just spoke with the local rep and he said if we can get back to him in a couple weeks we can probably still get a few youth on board.

Please contact me at tome@macalester-plymouth.org or 651-698-8871 if you have questions or are interested.

For those without summer jobs or volunteer positions, this could be a great way to have a major addition to your life experience but also your resume.

Peace,

Tom

Hey, It's Snowing!

...and apprarently icing. I'm above to leave for church. My instinct is to say that if you feel it is unsafe to travel, please do not. So tonight's mandatory meeting has been downgraded to "only if you can make it" safely." Please do not take any chances with safety.

Peace,

Tom

Sunday January 27, 2013

Hey All:

This Sunday...

Choir-No choir practice

Explorers-None, because we have one service at 9:30am, so be at that. Hannah B. is liturgising, cheer her on!

Annual meeting at 10:45am-show up, be a voice in the church! (Some Mission Trippers will be selling coffee and scones, I believe Henry B. is a contact for that, check on the Facebook group)

Youth Group-5:00-7:00pm, with a mandatory parent/youth mission trip meeting at 6pm for Mission Trip folk (and it will be darn good seeing all of you again.)

Peace,

Tom
