Youth Fellowship This Sunday

Hey Folks:

Big Christmas time tradition this weekend: We have youth fellowship from 12-2pm. We'll eat and then some of us will set up for Round the Table Carol Sing and the rest will go shopping for our Aliveness Project families. Please remember to bring $20.00 as able so we can provide these families with as much of the Christmas gifts we can!

Question? Contact me.

I look forward to seeing you all there!

Peace,

Tom

Mission Trip Dates and YF This Sunday

Hi Folks,

Sorry for omitting the Mission Trip dates, they are June 16-23.

But this also gives me the opportunity to remind people that youth fellowship this Sunday is bowling. We'll leave as soon as possible after church. $10.00 covers everything. Parents, depending on our numbers it might be ghelpful to have folks will to drop youth off at Midway and pick them up. Please check with Dale or me on Sunday.

Peace,

Tom

October 9, 2011 Youth Fellowship

Hey All!

Meet Dale and Brian at noon in the social hall. There'll be lunch and then everyone will head off for the crop walk. Because return time on this event is variable, please have parents be on call to pick you up from church between 3-4pm. Sorry parents,this one is hard to pinpoint a finish time, something I really try to do for most events.

Note: Even if you haven't gathered pledges, please come for the walk to show solidarity for the cause.

Peace,

Tom

Crop Walk Info

Details of Youth CROP Walk Participation--Sunday, Oct. 9th

Hi, folks, I'm Kelly Hulander, and Mike Morrissey and I are coordinating
Mac-Plymouth participation in this year's CROP Hunger Walk.

CROP Hunger walks raise money to help fight hunger in the U.S.
and all over the world. The Church World Service, the highly-rated
non-profit agency that sponsors the walks, uses the money raised both to meet
immediate hunger needs and to develop projects for long-term self-sufficiency
in impoverished communities.

This year's Saint Paul CROP Hunger Walk is being held on Sunday, Oct. 9th.
The walk will also be the official Youth activity/meeting for that day.

We need to be at the starting location at 1:00 p.m. for registration;
the walk begins at 1:30 p.m. This year's walk starts at Camphor Memorial
United Methodist Church, and we will car-pool together to get everyone
there.

Here's the scoop on how to take part in this event:

For Youth:

1. If you did not sign up for the walk at the Youth Retreat, but you want to
participate, please e-mail me at kelly.hulander@gmail.com, and I will get
your name on the list.

Also, you can stop by the CROP Hunger Walk table during Social Hour
on October 2nd to pick up a pledge envelope.

2. After church on Sunday, October 9th, please meet in the Plymouth
Room. We will enjoy a free lunch sponsored by the MSJ Committee,
and we will figure out rides to the event.

For Parents:

1. Since Mission and Social Justice is kindly footing the bill for lunch
for all of the MPUC walkers on October 9th, there is no need for any
of you to cook for the Youth that day.

2. We have a fairly small adult walking team this year, so we may
need help getting all of the Youth over to the walk site and back. If
you can help with transportation, please e-mail me at kelly.hulander@gmail.com.
You are welcome to stay and walk with us, of course.

Thanks for taking part in this important event.

:) Kelly Hulander
