I Can't Wait for Summer!!!

I just saw the forecast and it promises above freezing temps for more than one day in a row! Party!!! Warmer weather, the promise of summer...God is good!

We have at least four things on the summer calendar that are special events that you may want to be aware of.
  • Men's Kayak Kaper - Jim Umhoefer is heading up a guys only trip to Wisconsin. June 12-14th
  • Summer Camp at Camp Lebanon - we are a member church at one the truly great camps around. Our sign up deadline is March 29th, so get (on the information table) and fill out a registration for your favorite camper. You can either pay in full or set up a payment plan. This is one investment that won't lose value!
  • Youthworks trip to St. Louis - those going in to 9th grade through those graduating seniors are eligible for the trip to the Gateway Arch! Youthworks staff do an amazing job of providing a great experience which makes the teaching come to life. It is life changing and eye opening...I think every kid needs to get themselves on this kind of trip, only one problem...we only have openings for eight youth. So, $100 deposit by March 29th gets you on the list
  • Burning Man experience - a week of instant community in the Nevada desert. This one isn't for those looking for a nice vacation. This will be a test of ones faith, and living that faith out, with 50,000 others from all over the world. It is artsy and fresh, and not for everyone. Curious? Check out www.burningman.com

Also on the calendar is our annual baptism and picnic at Fairy Lake. Thinking of getting baptised? Talk to Pastor Carlyn!
