All UMYF,
Thanks to the youth that came and worked the Grounds Day on Saturday. So many thanks to Sissy Holler for providing supper for the UMYF on Sunday evening. I can speak for everyone and say that the meal was delicious and it was a great time of fellowship. We were also able to welcome some of the youth from SPIHN to come and participate in our program and enjoy shooting some hoops after the program was over. It was a good evening, our program centered around Pentecost. As the great and much lauded Harvard theologian Dr. Peter Gomes told me while he visited Duke during the same time in our liturgical calendar a few years ago, "The Day of Pentecost is soon upon us." It is, and I hope now the UMYF have a better understanding of its origins and what they mean for us as Christians today. I think I even saw some eyes get the great significance of the Spirit descending on the Disciples.
We are getting closer to graduation and matriculation for others. Continue to stay the course and finish strong. Sunday evening the Stoddard Family will be providing supper for the UMYF. We will dine and have fellowship and then attend the farewell concert for Justin with the rest of our church family. I hope everyone can attend.
The Revelation Bible Study will end this week, Tuesday at 4pm. Socratic Club will meet Wednesday at 5pm in my office. Let us also start getting ready physically and mentally for Salkehatchie the week of 13 June. Take care and God bless you all.
His Grace and Peace,
Chuck

All UMYF,
Saturday, 15 May 2010 at 9am Dr. Bob Reynolds is holding a church wide Grounds Day. This is similar to the other Saturday morning Grounds Days we have had before in the past. Come out and support the church and help improve her grounds. To everyone who works the full morning, Dr. Reynolds has generously offered to pay $20 per person. I hope your love of your church as well as the monetary enticement will ensure a good group. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me.

All UMYF,
I hope everyone took time on Sunday to shower special praise and love on your mother! I hope the letters also went a long way in showing how much comfort, joy, and patience they bring into your lives on a daily basis. What did you guys think of our exercise? Did it make you see your mother or the Holy Spirit in a new light? I hope so, I hope you now see how both will always be with you and behind you in everything you do!
Sunday we will be doing a program on Pentecost and what it means for us here at Trinity, and abroad. Come out and learn how a little church history still very much influence they way we operate and live within the church. I hope to see lots of you there ready to participate. We will be using a different format which I think will make things a little more exciting I hope.
Special thanks to all of our volunteers for all the hard work they do to make sure things go smoothly. From food to counselors, the UMYF has lots of friends and great support in Trinity! Revelation Bible Study and the Socratic Club will meet this week as regularly scheduled, Tuesday at 4pm and Wednesday at 5pm. Finish the school year off strong and work hard!

All UMYF,
I guess I can thank myself for dinner on Sunday? Hahaha. I hope everyone enjoyed dinner and went home full! Another special thanks to Steve Whitaker for being our grill master! He worked over the hot coals for several hours to help bring my chicken to life, and for that I think we are all very grateful. We have had some great food and programs the last month or so. Great times!
I hope everyone enjoyed our program on Sunday. Keep in mind the scriptural text we used and how that relates directly to our project and to your lives. Take a moment to be grateful, reflective, and appreciative to all the gifts you have been given by the Spirit in your lives. Please remember to complete your projects by Sunday and give them out at the appropriate time Sunday afternoon! NO UMYF Sunday 9 May 2010! Happy Mother's Day!!!!
Revelation Bible Study will meet for its final session on Tuesday at 4pm. Socratic Club will meet Wednesday at 5pm. Socratic Club was exceptionally great last week. I hope more gatherings like that one follow. I was proud of how everyone articulated their positions in thoughtful arguments. You guys did great! Please come out and participate and voice your opinion on a whole host of issues! We want to hear what you have to say.
