Members,
As part of the program for Youth Sunday, as presented by the UMYF, the UMYF respectful asks that all members and persons attending service on 7 February 2010 attend service in casual attire. The youth hope this effort will give their service more of a contemporary feel. They hope you enjoy, and I thank you in advance for helping them put their service together as they have planned.
His Grace and Peace,
Chuck

All UMYF,
A special thank you to the Edwards family, Laura and Tommy, for providing dinner for UMYF on Sunday evening. Dinner was delicious and I think everyone thoroughly enjoyed every last bite!
We had a good planning session on Sunday for Youth Sunday on 7 February 2010. Lots of great ideas were thrown around and several have been implemented into the service for that Sunday. Everyone has a fairly good idea of what they are working on and we will meet again on Sunday to hammer out the rest of the details. If you have any ideas before them please do not hesitate to contact me and let me know your thoughts and wishes for that special Sunday.
Forms for the Ski Trip and Salkehatchie are slowly starting to flow in now. I have spoken with our contact for the Ski Trip and he has graciously agreed not to allow anyone else to book our space until I contact him again next Monday. This gives us roughly another week for registration. Our goal is 20 people or more. The price of $128 reflects that number. If we do not hit that number the price will go up, and if registration does not significantly increase we may be forced to do a day trip of skiing. With all of that in mind, please get your forms in if you want to attend either one of these events. If you need more forms you can come by my office and pick them up.
We have Socratic Club and the Revelation Bible Study this week as regularly scheduled. We will continue our planning for the Youth Sunday and attend the Handbells Concert here at the church on Sunday evening. Take care everyone and have a great week!
Best,
Chuck

All UMYF,
Thanks to everyone who came out yesterday and participated in the MLK Day Events sponsored by Davidson College and the Queen City, Charlotte. The lectures, discussions, march, and keynote address by Former Chief Justice of the NC Supreme Court, Henry Frye, were all enlightening both for their significance to social justice and personal integrity. The events of the day gave way to some great discussions and the invitation for future dialog.
Forms are needed as soon as possible for both the Ski Trip and Salkehatchie. Please remit one or both to my office or to the main church office as soon as you can. Participation in either event is dependent upon the number of registrants.
Revelation Bible Study and the Socratic Club will meet as regularly scheduled this week, please come out and support, participate, and let your voice to be heard.
In coming weeks we have the Souper Bowl of Caring and Youth Sunday. Please be mindful of those events, as we will talk further about them on Sunday. UMYF on Sunday will be devoted to these issues as we quickly approach February 2010.
Best,
Chuck

All UMYF,
I hope everyone enjoyed watching the Shawshank Redemption over the past few weeks. I think the discussion that we had afterwards on the virtues of friendship, hope, and love was insightful and enjoyable for everyone. A special thanks to Mrs. Louise Taylor and Mrs. Shirley Cain for providing a wonderful supper for our gathering last night. Thanks to Mr. Whitaker and Heather for helping with the discussion.
We are tentatively scheduled for our UMYF Ski Trip 26-28 February 2009 to Sugar. Everyone should have picked up the necessary information and forms Sunday evening, if you did not you need to come see me. You all have the forms, if you are interested, please return them with a deposit of $75 as soon as you can. You also have the Salkhatchie forms for this summer. Please get those signed and returned with the $100 deposit as soon as you can. We are going back to Durham this year. They are adding an additional house and are planning for more campers this year. I have already spoken with Larry Hawkey, the Durham Camp Director, and he is very excited about the 2010 Durham Camp.
The Revelation Bible Study and Socratic Club are on as scheduled this week. Bible Study is at 4pm in the library and Socratic Club will meet at 5pm in my office on Wednesday. For all those interested I would like to take a group to Davidson College on Monday to celebrate the MLK Day. The college will be hosting former Chief Justice of the NC Supreme Court Henry Frye and Charlotte Mayor, and Davidson Man, Anthony Foxx. There will be tons of talks, a march, lunch, and events to keep us busy and commemorate a great man and movement in our history. We will leave at 7:30 am Monday and return around 5pm. Let me know if you are interested, and I will see you around this week!

Chuck
