Sunday morning is changing… again
So much for letting you guys sleep in on
Sunday mornings. The “after church
Sunday school” plan just didn’t work out,
so we’re going back to our 9:15-10:15am
time slot.
Our guiding topic will be Paul’s journeys,
which, no doubt, will lead us in to many
other spontaneous discussions.

YOUTH MISSION TRIP 2015
We are VERY excited to announce that our group will be heading down to Heifer Ranch, near
Little Rock, Arkansas. We will be leaving the morning of Saturday, July 18 and returning the
evening of Sunday, July 26 for a 9 day journey. Not only will we be spending time at Heifer
Ranch in the Heifer Hilton, but spending time in their Global Challenge program, which
includes their Global Village. There are many other things we’ll be doing during our time in
Arkansas, but one of the highlights is that we’re teaming up with the Minneapolis Epworth
UMC youth group. This trip will be expensive, but we’re also going to do a ton of fundraising
(much has already been done) to bring down the cost.
Registration materials are available. $50 deposit due with your registration.
Please contact Eric if you have any questions or financial concerns.
