Sunday September 22, 2014
It going to be a big day Sunday....
If you are in choir, please go to rehearsal when scheduled:
Youth Choir (4-8th grade) 9am in the social hall
Chapel choir (9-12th grade) 9:30 in the social hall
9:30-10:30am Explorer's Class 9:30-10:30 for 6th-8th grade
9:30-10:20am The Youth Mission Trip is the subject of the Adult Forum. We got some people who are for sure showing up:
Devin
Avery
Hannah
Ryan
Maddie F.
...and others hopefully. Please try to show for this, many voices are good. Be outside the Plymouth Room at 9:30am.
10:20am Meet me in the sanctuary. Sit on the side of the church where the piano is (no the bell choir side). I have bulletins and readings for each of you and directions when to head up.There are three times during the service when we have mission trip reflections. I've organized the readings to follow a loose narrative, so you will see on your bulletin "A-1" "B-3," "C-2," etc. The letter refers to which reflection period you will go up during and the number refers to the order you go.
Lian is handling the front end of the liturgy
Julia, Lian, Erica and Cecelia are doing the children's time with me, assuming Erica and Cecilia are back in town.
Maddy is working the slide show with Lee and Lisa. The slide show will happen during offering. The screen will be by the bell choir tables. Stan will improvise music during the slide show, God bless him.
Lydia is handling the tail end of the liturgy.
After Lydia does the benediction, she should move to the front of the aisle and lead all of you out, where you should form a receiving line to greet people as they come out.
Whew! Go home, take a nap, do homework.
5:00-7:00pm Youth Fellowship
We'll do roses and thorns, eat and then junior high will be with Ed and I will be with the senior high to discuss next year's mission trip. Researchers, bring your research!
Any questions or concerns, call me at 612-716-3150 or email me at tome@macalester-plymouth.org

Retreat Update and Packing List
New Departure Time: Friday, 6:00pm
Due to several time conflicts, we will be departing at 6pm, rather than 5pm. So come with a bag dinner or already have had dinner and we'll head out at 6.
Possible return change time: Sunday, 3:30pm
According to the bus company, this is when we'll roll back into MPUC, but I think it may take longer. We will notify you when we know more, but somewhere between 3:30-4:30pm in our window of re-entry.
Here is a packing list, in case you didn't pick one up Sunday:

Rally Day!!!
Hey Everyone:
Some updates about the next couples of weeks:
Though there is no Explorers Class this Sunday, Ed will be on hand during education hour to entertain 6-8th graders who may need to be here for other reasons. Or just come and have a good time.
Definitely check out the youth table at Rally day for Fall Retreat information and forms. We have a good number of folks going so far. This year we are being offered a ropes course for folks age 12 and up, there is additional waiver for that and it will be on the table with the registration form. This is an optional activity, so if you prefer to main attached to the ground (like me), you be a part of the cheering section.
St. Norm will also be posting all the forms on the blog sometime today.
Back to Rally Day... we have youth group from 5-7pm that evening. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone after such a long time off!
Peace,
Tom
