We are extremely excited about our up-coming Youth Retreat, and my goal is to get as many people involved in this retreat as possible. We have been studying evangelism-sharing Jesus for the past couple of weeks; and to conclude our study, we are having a weekend where we can actively learn how to share our faith.  Youth are welcome to invite as many friends as they want.   You will not want to miss this event.
We are looking for people to open up their houses and prepare breakfast, as well as actors and small group leaders.  We have many opportunities for you to impact the lives of our youth!  Please let Meghan know if you are interested.

We have three graduating seniors this year, Ashley Finley,Candius Jones, and Stephany Oaks. On May 17, we will have Youth Sunday.  Our youth band will be leading worship in both services.  Our Human Video group will present a special drama for you, and our seniors will also be sharing with us.
After the Traditional Worship Service, we will have a potluck luncheon.    Come and help us celebrate our youth and enjoy the meal and fellowship.

We put together 50 Easter baskets this year, and we couldn’t have done it without your help.  Thank you so much for your generous donations of candy.  This is something we always enjoy.  We’re looking forward to next year.

Assuming it takes you two minutes to read this, 36 children under the age of five will have died by the time you have finished. 36 CHILDREN. And those deaths are from hunger, poverty, and hunger-related diseases – all completely preventable. The good news is that our youth group has decided to do something about it: World Vision’s 30 Hour Famine.
The problem is huge, but the solution is not. Just $30 a month –roughly $1 a day – can help feed and care for a child in most developing countries.
As students go 30 hours without food this weekend, they’ll get a taste of what it’s like to be hungry, all the while reaching out to others in need. And as they do that, their compassion will grow: for people around the world, and right here at home.
Please help our youth group by:
Praying for the famine participants, and for those they’re working to save.
Supporting famine participants with a donation. It’s through your gifts that lives are changed forever.
Remember, Saturday afternoon we will have our canned- goods scavenger hunt!  Be on the look-out and have your cans ready.
The youth will begin fasting after lunch on Friday.They need to be at the church at 6:30 p.m. Friday night and the fast will end at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday.  Permission forms must be signed and returned.
Thanks, and God bless!
