Update for Sunday

The mandatory meeting for mission trip participants is not a parent meeting. However, parents are invited to come to hear the speaker and learn more about New Orleans. We have a parent providing the Sunday dinner for the junior and senior high youth this week, but if you will be attending as a family, I would like to encourage you to bring a meal for your family so that we do not create an undue burden on the parent who signed up planning on our usual number of attendees.

Any questions or concerns, contact me at tome@macalester-plymouth.org


Thanks and peace on this overly warm day,

Tom

Regular choir rehearsal schedule 


This Sunday is a mandatory youth group for mission trip participants. Non-participants are encouraged to attend as we will be learning about why so many years after the hurricane, New Orleans is still in need of rebuilding. We will have a guest speaker!

Junior high will be with Brian.


Coming Up...

May 5 is Brian's last day working with the youth. He will continue to work at the church, but his schedule will be busy post-graduation, so he will handing over the reins to to a youth person to be determined. Be there to show him you appreciate what he has done as part of the youth program.


May 12 is Mother's Day. We traditionally do not have youth group on this day so people can be with their families.

May 19 is our last youth group of the programming season. For mission trip participants it is once again a mandatory meeting.
