Client Night Thursday, July 16th 2009

Hi. Geez there is a lot of stuff happening these first few weeks in July. This Thursday there is a client night with the UMARMY here in Toms River. Everyone from the youth group is invited to join the UMARMY as we serve a meal to the youth and to the clients. Please arrive around 4pm to help prepare the meal and around 530 to serve the meal. I haven't been to a client night before, so I don't know how long the event lasts, but I imagine it won't be more than 2 hours (so 6-8 for the meal and program). Let me know if you plan on helping out!

Also, remember that you are welcome to join the UMARMY every day for worship at 7am and 930pm. Wednesday night is a special "experiential" worship service so please plan on attending that, if you have the time. See ya!

UMARMY Dinner in TR

Hey team. As many of you know the UMARMY host church provides dinner on the first night for the team coming in to do service projects. We are hosting a group from Massachusetts and Connecticut so we need to make dinner! It starts on July 12th at 6pm, but if you are helping you should be there at least half an hour early. We will serve about 60-65 people hot dogs, mac 'n cheese and baked beans. It should be a simple meal to prepare, but we need some help. This is open to anyone 7th grade and up. Come join us in welcoming a UMARMY team to our community! Thanks.
