Now that the 30 hour famine is over (and it was awesome by the way) its time for us to focus on our Summer missions trip, UMARMY 2011! Again, we'll be heading to Williamsport, PA, but unlike the last few years we'll be teamed up with a whole slew of new churches! We have over 130 youth registered for this camp, which means there will be a TON of new people to meet. Our friends from Simsbury will be returning with our church too! I will be a part of the programs team along with a guy named Matt and a guy named Russell. Russell does music and Matt has a lot of experience with UMARMY. They should help make this year's camp the best ever. We've talked about some of the evening activities, which may include a murder mystery boat ride! or a trip to a game park with mini bowling and mini golf! You'll just have to come on the trip, though, to find out what we'll actually be doing. I bet you'll have a ton of fun and help restore homes for people who really need it. What more could you ask for? UMARMY is fun and helps those who need it. We've been faithfully raising money throughout the year for this trip. All we ask for is a "tithe" of 25 dollars, which is one tenth the cost of the trip. The trip is June 26th to July 2nd. Here are a few dates you should be aware of:
June 5th is a mandatory informational meeting in Thompson Hall following the 930 service
June 5th is the tool training for UMARMY at youth group from 6-8pm
June 12th is the youth pancake breakfast fundraiser from 8-1030am
June 25th is the day we pack our trailer full of tools, supplies and our luggage for the week at 7pm
June 26th is our consecration service at the 930am contemporary service
We leave for UMARMY immediately following the 930am service and return the following Saturday afternoon!
