Hello Parents & Leaders!
Here's the Update for this week:
1) Volleyball Practice - We are having an Intro to Volleyball session tomorrow night, Wednesday, May 30 from 7-8:15pm in place of our usual middle school small
groups. This will be a time to cover some of the basics of the game, as
well as begin working on some easy exercises.
Volleyball Practice for middle school will take place from 6-7pm on the following Wednesdays during the summer: 6/13, 7/11, & 7/25.
This will be for any middle school student that is serious about
improving their volleyball skills. Anyone interested in joining these
"practices" should sign up using the form in the Youth Chapel or by
letting me know via facebook or email.
*2) Camping Trip Sign-Ups* - The dates for this event have slightly changed due to a reservation change. The new dates are Wednesday, August 22 through Friday, August 24. We are still at Cunningham Falls State Park, we just changed sites in order to be closer to the main swimming area/activities.
Please make sure you are checking your
family calendars & figuring out which events your middle school
student can participate in. If they are able to go to the "Back to
School Camping Trip" on August 22-24, please use the following website
to sign them up here.
Please remember, this trip is for students who are currently in grades
5-11 (most of our graduating seniors will be off to college by then).
You can also sign up to donate some of our camping supplies by using the
form on the website. We only have a limited amount of spaces, so make
sure to sign them up ASAP!
3) Spaghetti Dinner / Family Movie Night - On Saturday, June 23, we will be having a Spaghetti Dinner Fundraiser at 6:00pm that will go towards events & activities for Submerge. Cost will be $7 for adults & $4 for children 10 & under. Following the Dinner, we will be having a free Family Movie Night in our church parking lot from 8-10pm! Bring a camping chair & come out to support
our middle school students!
4) 5/6 Grade Trip - Final details for our 5/6 grade trip (for next Saturday, June 9) will be available by this weekend. We are planing on meeting at the church & then going over to Players for some laser tag & other activities, and then heading out for swimming (potentially) & a bonfire. Cost will be $25 and will cover all activities at Players, as well as dinner & supplies during the bonfire. I do not have exact times yet, but it will take place in mid-late afternoon into the evening hours.
5) Drama Team - There is no drama practice throughout the summer until school kicks back in for the Fall.
As always - if anyone has any questions about any of these events,
please email me back or speak with me on Wednesdays or Sundays!

Sunday, August 26 will be our "official" move-up day for all students that will be transitioning into the next ministry program (especially 4th & 8th graders). I apologize for any confusion regarding grade specific events during the summer.
