B-1

Here's a nice, high-quality picture from Youth Sunday. Congratulations to everyone on a spectacular conclusion to Youth Week! Everyone loved Youth Sunday, and I'm excited to do it all again next year (pictures will be posted in the links section soon).

Also, be sure to attend our next big event - B-1. Its a fundraiser to help people from around the world with specific projects to better their communities. We will raise funds and then have a huge lock-in September 26th to 27th, from noon Saturday to noon Sunday at the Pinelands Center in Mount Misery. follow this link for more information. We are already registered, but look at the site for the project you'd like to sponsor. Join us for a truly life-changing event!

Youth Sunday

Hello Everyone! This Sunday, August 30th, is Youth Sunday, so be sure to join us at all three services as the youth take over! If you haven't volunteered to help yet and want to, please be sure to let Brian know. We can use lots of help for the 8 and 11am services. We have Drew preaching, and a couple unique things to jazz up the service. If you signed up for Youth Sunday at the lock-in please be sure to come at least 10 minutes early so we can go over your job. Thanks everyone, and let's get excited for Youth Sunday!

UMARMY makes the news!

Hey guys. Check your local paper because you might be in it! The Observer Reporter published an article today about First UMC and our participation in UMARMY. You'll find the following picture plastered on the front page! Read the article. I'll post a link to it when they put it online and I'll make sure to put a permanent copy up somewhere in the church.

Don't forget, Youth Week starts this Sunday. We'll meet at the church at 4pm and then head over the Hertl's together. We are going to start the night with a little rally to kick off youth week. Make sure you let me know if you plan on participating so we can have enough drivers. Thanks and see you soon!
