Summer is Here!!!

Events to look forward to and sign up for...

On Saturday, August 11th a group called Girls of Grace will be putting on an exciting one-day event for 6^th-12^th grade girls, focusing on  common age-related issues with positive Christian messages delivered through music, speakers, multi-media and more!  The event will take place at Christ United Methodist Church in Jackson, MS and will cost $39 per girl if we sign up before May 28^th.  This price includes a full day of artists, speakers, and lunch.  If you want more information you can go to their website at www.girlsofgrace.com.  This event sounds like it is going to be really great, and we don’t want to miss out on it!  Deadline to sign up is May 20^th, so please let me know if you are interested. 

On Friday, July 20^th Jeremy Camp and Kutless will be in concert at the BancorpSouth Arena in Tupelo, MS.  Tickets are on sale now and for groups with 10+ people, the cost per ticket is $15.  Deadline to sign up is May 27^th, so sign up now if you’d like to go!  I want to order tickets as quickly as possible, in order to make sure we get some!

Geyser Falls Trip will be on Thursday, June 14^th.  Mark your calendars.  Details to come.

CONVO dates are July 6^th-8^th.  As soon as I receive more details from the conference, I will let you know.

Youth Pool Parties:  We will have our first pool party on Sunday, June 24^th at the Eupora Country Club and we will end the summer with another pool party at Mr. Haze’s home on Sunday, August 5^th. 

Parents, you are going to LOVE our new fundraiser:

-Date Night-

The youth will be raising money by babysitting on a Friday night and allowing parents to pay a fixed fee for each child per hour.  Parents can drop their children off anytime after 5 p.m. and pick them up anytime before 11 p.m.  The money raised will be going towards our 2012 summer trips!

The date I have currently chosen for this fundraiser will be Friday, June 8^th.  However, I must have commitments by the youth to babysit before we can finalize anything!  Youth, remember that this is your opportunity to raise money for your summer trips.  If you are willing to commit to being at the church on June 8^th from 5 p.m. until 11 p.m. please let me know ASAP!  Thanks!

Don’t forget to bring your $2 each month to send to J.J.  Without your commitment to bring your money, we will not be able to continue serving our little girl.  So please make this a priority each month!  Thanks!
