All UMYF,
I want to thank Mrs. Patti Hall for providing supper for the UMYF gathering on Sunday evening. We finished The Last Lecture, and we had a rich and insightful discussion on how to apply what we learned to our own lives. I hope everyone took as much away from the viewing and discussion as I did. The Car Wash was again cancelled due to inclement weather. We will wait till a later date when sunshine is abundant and consistent.
Starting 10 November 2009, Tuesday at 5PM, the Book of Revelation Bible Study for the UMYF will start in the library. Please let me know if you are interested so we can begin to gauge interest and make the necessary arrangements. Many of you have said you were interested in a program like this so now is the time to step up and take advantage. I have also been pleased with attendance during worship services on Sundays. Continue to keep up the good work and experience all of the exciting changes happening at Trinity with your own eyes and ears!
This Sunday during UMYF we will be making arrangements and planning our UMYF Sunday, which is 11 October 2009. I have some thoughts on how we can uniquely tailor this worship service to the tastes of our youth, but I need your feedback and ideas. Come ready and prepared for discussion. Steve will be joining us for this brainstorming session. I have dinner on Sunday night. I will see you at Socratic Club Wednesday night and some of you at lunch at some point this week. Take care and be blessed.
Best,
Chuck

20 September 2009 Weekly News.
All UMYF,
Special thanks to the Jacobs family for providing a delicious supper Sunday evening. It was a big hit and we all loved it, thanks! The key needed to operate the water outside has been found so the UMYF Carwash is a go for Sunday right after church. Come to church and bring clothes to change into right after so we can head straight to the parking lot and begin washing. I think we can have a great turn out, so spread the word and come ready to wash, wash, wash.
We began viewing "The Last Lecture" by Dr. Randy Pausch last week during UMYF. Carnegie Mellon has a lecture series usually reserved for retiring professors in which the expound upon a lifetime of wisdom acquired through living and academia. This lecture is different, in that Dr. Pausch was diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer. With a diagnosis of three months, Carnegie Mellon asked Dr. Pausch to deliver the lecture. Knowing this would indeed be his last lecture Dr. Pausch decided to stray from the charted territories and lecture on following and achieving your childhood dreams. We have a little more left to watch and then we will discuss. I hope you will come out Sunday evening and let this fun lecture touch you and your life in a special way.
The UMYF will be hosting SPHIN Sunday evening as well. Mrs. Patti Hall has graciously offered to prepare dinner for Sunday night, and we thank her advance for her consistent support of the program. Come ready to hang out with our guests and to hear some special words on how to pursue your dreams and hopes. I will visit Spartanburg High School tomorrow. The Socratic Club will meet Wednesday at 5pm. Be on time and come prepared to discuss. If you would like when we are finished, do not forget to bring your monies. See you soon, and continue to work hard in school.
Best,
Chuck

All UMYF,
I hope that everyone had a restful but enjoyable Labor Day weekend. Worship was amazing on Sunday, and I believe that everyone present was enriched just by being in the pews. Steve preached a very strong sermon that gave everyone present food for thought. Sunday School provided stimulating conversation and numbers have been going up, just as they have
been in worship for the youth. I hope that the trend continues and more youth start making Sunday morning a priority. Sunday afternoon after service is over, at approximately 11:45, we will begin our UMYF Carwash Fundraiser in the parking lot. I hope that we have lots of youth show up so we can wash as many cars as possible. Rags, water, and car wash item will be provided so all we need you to do is show up. All donations from the carwash will go towards the
Youth Wing Renovations. We will also have UMYF at 6PM. The Jacobs family is providing supper.
I have made contact with the Jewish Temple here in town and Buddhist Center in Columbia and Charlotte. Plans have been made to attend Shabbat Services at the Jewish Temple on 23 October 2009. Plans are being tentatively made to visit one of the Buddhist Centers in early November. Let me know how that works in with your schedules in the future. See
you all Sunday!

All UMYF,
A special thank to Dr. and Mrs. John and Nora Beth Featherston for providing a delicious meal for our Sunday UMYF gathering. We had more than enough food, and they were even gracious enough to stay and dine with us. Though we said it before, I would like to say thanks to them again here in the newsletter!
The Socratic Club will meet Wednesday night at 5pm. If you would like to eat dinner be sure to bring money with you. Wednesday night, The Security Blanket will be having their monthly gathering here at the church including dinner and break out sessions for the parents and kids. Any youth that would like to stay after dinner for a while and help out would be a tremendous help. The kids of Security Blanket seriously enjoy spending time with members of the UMYF and vice versa. See you Wednesday afternoon!
There will be NO UMYF 6 September 2009, the Sunday before Labor Day. Many of you have communicated to me that you will be out of town and doing other various activities. With that in mind we will meet again, 13 September 2009. 13 September 2009 is the Sunday of the UMYF Car Wash at 11:45am, right after worship and during Brunch to Lunch. More information will be sent out to you in the coming days about the time and how to prepare. I will be coming out to the schools again this week so keep an eye open for me. We have some interesting ideas and plans for the future, so keep coming out and participating. I will see you soon. Have a great week everybody!
Best,
Chuck
