crosswalk youth ministry

Wednesday, March 26: W.O.W. (Welcome on Wednesday) schedule back in full swing - come at 5:30 p.m. and bring a couple of bucks for dinner and then hang around for Bible study, choir practice, or just hang around until 7:30 p.m.!

Saturday, March 29: Saturday “Come -As-You-Are” worship gathering at 5:30 p.m. in the church basement.

 Sunday, March 30: Sunday Morning Faith Discussion at 9:10 a.m. - we’re going to talk about what it means to look at people from different points of view (check out 2nd Corinthians 5:16-21 if you want a head-start on the discussion) Community Worship Gathering at 10:30 a.m., and the  Sunday Night Gathering from 5:00 - 7:00 p.m. - we’re actually going to seriously talk about redoing the youth room and then we’ll cut loose and play some games (outside if the weather’s nice!)

Just a reminder…the $85 non-refundable deposit is due this Sunday (March 23rd). You may also pay the full $320 if you would like.

This week’s a little wierd with spring break and Holy Week, so take special notes…

Tomorrow night (Tuesday the 18th) we’re gonna meet at the church to go roller skating at River Roll Skate Center in Riverside. We’ll leave at 6:15 p.m. and skate from 6:30 to 7:30. After roller skating we’ll go and get some yummy ice cream from Sheridan’s up at Berry Road. So make sure that you’ve got $4 for skating and extra $$$ for ice cream afterwards.

 Wednesday night we’ll meet from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. to fill up more Easter eggs for Sunday morning’s egg hunt. There’ll be pizza, so bring your appetites!

 Remember that Thursday night there’s a Maundy Thursday service with the Christian Church (DOC) at the Christian Church and the Good Friday service at our church.

 Sunday is EASTER! And we’re leading the Easter Sunrise Service. Please be at the church around 6:30 a.m. - the service starts at 7:05 a.m. with a potluck breakfast following. Please make sure to bring food for the breakfast - if you don’t bring food, we may not eat!

And, finally, there is no Sunday Night Gathering on Easter.

Okay - I’ve checked, double-checked, and triple-checked my sources of information. So I promise that this week’s info is correct! We’re following the regular weekly schedule (posted over there —->).

 This Saturday (March 8th) WE WILL BE working on the Snake Saturday float from NOON to 2:00 p.m. Meet at the the church at 11:30 a.m. and we’ll carpool to the garage on 16th and Howell (the temporary home of the float)

 This Sunday (March 9th) we will be having our Youth/Parent Summer Mission Trip meeting, starting at 5:00 p.m. in the youth room. We’ll be discussing this summer’s location, the date of the trip, cost, and future fundraising opportunities…and anything else mission trip-related that you want to know.

From Webster’s Dictionary: grace  is “d: disposition to or an act or instance of kindness, courtesy, or clemency” - man, did I hit the jackpot last week for passing along messed up info. I apologize for making folks get up so early to work on the Snake Saturday float - we did have a good time helping make breakfast for the United Methodist Men’s group…right? Also, the youth/parent mission trip meeting is THIS SUNDAY (MARCH 9) starting at 5 p.m. up in the youth room…not Sunday, March 16th as previously mentioned.

 So, (re)mark your calendars for the youth mission trip youth/parent meeting: SUNDAY, MARCH 9, 2008 at 5:00 p.m.
