UMYF Members,
Steve Whitaker did an outstanding job with both dinner and the program on Sunday evening on World Religions. A special thanks also goes to Mrs. Laura Edwards for assisting. I hope everyone had a great time and was able to take something away from the program to better inform your own spirituality and tolerance of religions from around the world.
Little more than a month left in the school year. Time to buckle down and finish strong! I hope everyone is looking forward to their summer vacation!
Next Sunday, I will be grilling out and leading a special program that will integrate very personal moments in our lives with some theological insight from the New Testament. The project we will be working on is very special, so I hope that many of you will take the time to come out and participate. I hope you will take advantage of this opportunity. I promise you will not regret it. UMYF at 6pm at Trinity.
Revelation Bible Study and Socratic Club will be held at their regularly scheduled times at 4pm on Tuesday and 5pm on Wednesday respectively. I will be coming out to some of the schools this week so keep your eyes open for me. Have a great week, and see you throughout the week!
His Grace and Peace,
Chuck

All UMYF and G.A.P. Members,
It was great to see so many of you this weekend! A special thanks this time around goes to the Hammond, Hodge, and Gray families for going above and beyond the call of duty by hosting our Sunday gathering. Mr. and Mrs. Hammond have a wonderful spread on their property which allowed for lots of fun in the sun once we finished with our program. I hope everyone gave some thought to Cool Hand Luke and the similarities between the movie and the life of Jesus as a radical. I also pray that you gave some thought to what your true passion in life might be. Great discussion and I hope everyone took a little something away from our time spent in fellowship.
Now to the food! It was amazing! Not sure whose team really won Red Rover but I think a good time was had by all. It was truly a blessing to have such a large group that was able to spend some time discussing lofty ideals but also enjoy the company of one another in fun and games outdoors. I also hope that those who came out Saturday for paintball had a blast and were not too sore after a day spent in battle. We had great groups for both activities and I consider the weekend a success!
Sunday Steve Whitaker has agreed to both cook and provide a thoughtful program on World Religions. I hope you will come out and enjoy some of his delicious food and sage wisdom. For many years Mr. Whitaker worked as an educator and head librarian, so he has a lot of wisdom to share. Mrs. Laura Edwards will also drop in to assist. Both of our weekly activities will happen as usually scheduled, Revelation Bible Study at 4pm on Tuesday and Socratic Club at 5pm on Wednesday. Come out, participate, and have your voice heard! See you around this week!
Best,
Chuck

All UMYF and G.A.P. Members,
A special thanks to Janna and Mike Trammell for providing supper for the UMYF Sunday night. I thoroughly hope everyone enjoyed the great food! Last night we watched a classic, Cool Hand Luke. One of the most memorable performances by Paul Newman in his lengthy career provided us with a wonderful opportunity to better understand and witness the kind of rebel that Christ was in His day. I hope that everyone picked up on a few of the similarities throughout the movie. There was a great deal of Christian imagery, particularly Christological specific images that permeated the entire film. We we talk about the movie and the real Jesus this coming Sunday during the beginning of our cookout at Mr. Buddy Hammond's house. We will be leaving the church at 5:00. We should return around 7:30-8pm.
We are going to Red Fox Games at 10am Saturday morning. The cost of the trip is $20. I need firm numbers by Thursday and your money if you want to go. Bring friends! We should be back by early afternoon. I think it will be a great time of fellowship and fun in the woods.
Revelation Bible Study and Socratic Club happen at their usual times at 4pm on Tuesday and 5pm on Wednesday. If you have any prayer request or concerns that you would like to be included as we discussed this past week, please pass them along. See you all around this week, be blessed.
His Grace and Peace,
Chuck

All UMYF Members,
I hope everyone had an amazing Easter and relished the chance to praise the risen Christ. 11 April 2010 at 4pm in the Senior Youth Room we will be watching Cool Hand Luke, a famous Paul Newman movie from the 60's in which his role as a rebel many have likened to Christ. The movies possesses a great deal of Christian and Christological imagery that we will talk about on Sunday and the following week at the UMYF Cookout at Mr. Buddy Hammonds. Tell your friends and come out on Sunday for some fun, fellowship, and an interesting look into Christological images in American Cinema.
