Mitzi Onessi will be leading a study on Lies Young Women Believe at their home. She will be using both the book and the study guide. If it's easier for me to order the books and you reimburse the church, that's fine too. Please let me know. We will announce a starting date for the Bible study next week. 

3) Youth Retreat: We are planning a one-night Youth Retreat October 23-24. I have reserved two (separate) "primitive" campsites for the night. Cost is $12/camper.

This will be a discipleship-focused retreat: I plan to have a session Friday night and Saturday morning in addition to activities, including a hike. PLEASE LET ME KNOW BY SUNDAY, OCTOBER 11 IF YOU PLAN TO ATTEND. This will give us adequate time to plan meals, transportation, etc. 

4) T-shirt update: If you ordered a 2020 Youth t-shirt, please pick it up by the end of this month (by tonight). If you have not gotten it by the end of the month, we will possibly give it to someone else who would like it. Also, if you did not order a T-shirt but would like one, please let me know what size and we'll see what we can do. 

5) With our Missions Conference next week, we will not have YES groups next Wednesday. Also, we will have a special missionary speaker in Sunday School on October 11! 

Thanks!

Youth Announcements 3/25/20

Good morning,

First, thank you all for bearing with us as we've been constantly updating and changing based on everything going on (and sorry for all the emails!). Here's what's going on until further notice:

1) Each Wednesday night, we'll have a Zoom Bible Study starting at 8pm. Here's the meeting invitation for tonight: 

Topic: Youth Bible Study
Time: Mar 25, 2020 08:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada)

Join Zoom Meeting
https://us04web.zoom.us/j/511492403

You should be able to just click the above link. I'm sure many of you are using Zoom already, but if you have any problems, just let me know. 

2) Starting next Monday (3/30), we will have a meeting every other Monday evening where I will meet with the guys and Danielle will meet with the girls via Zoom. We will be studying How to Make Choices You Won't Regret (Precept Study). It would be very helpful if everyone had their own copy. Girls: if you already had a copy or ordered one, I have it at the church. Guys: I have a few copies at the church if you want to stop by and grab one. Or, you can order it online here.

3) Mission Trip: at this point, everything is on hold with the mission trip. Once we can meet again, we'll have our Core Values test we were scheduled to have this past Sunday. I'll keep everyone posted as we go. With no HBBI going forward, that requirement will be waived to go on the trip.  

Again, thanks for your patience as we navigate this together. Danielle and I love and miss all of you. Looking forward to seeing many of you tonight!

4) CAMP! It's hard to believe we're talking about summer already, but I would like to get some campers registered for Week 4 (June 22-27) so we can secure our spot. Please fill out the registration form attached and submit to me with $50 deposit. Please keep in mind that the early-bird discount ($35) ends February 1.

Thanks and see you tonight!
