All UMYF Members,
Happy Easter Day!! I hope that each and every one of you are thoroughly enjoying your Spring Break Vacation! Please be safe and remember that you do have to go back to school in a week! As we have discussed previously, all UMYF activities have been placed on hold during your Spring Break so you are free to roam and do whatever your hearts desire. No UMYF Bible Study on Tuesday, Socratic Club on Wednesday, or UMYF on Sunday. You all voted and so it follows.
All Salkehatchie monies and forms need to be turned in by the end of the week, no exceptions or excuses. If you are interested in going to Durham with us in June you need to submit your signed form and a check for $100. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me here at the church.
When you return from Spring Break we have our trip to Red Fox Paintball on Saturday, 17 April 2010 at 10am. Tell your friends and spread the word. You should receive a postcard in the mail soon about this trip. I will be around all this week, so if you need anything or just want to hang out shoot me or text or drop by the office. See you around!
Best,
Chuck

UMYF and G.A.P. Members,
A special thanks to the group of dedicated members who came together to provide a great meal for our combined gathering last evening. To the Fast, Olson, Weathers, Breeden, Wilson, and Burrell families I would like to extend a special thanks for you dedication and generosity. The youth ate every last drop of food! Again, I offer my sincere thanks for your willingness to help these two deserving programs.
I hope everyone had a great time at Glendale. I am pretty sure everyone got up at least one wall and had the opportunity to fool around or some of the other walls. The folks at Glendale were extremely helpful and went out of their way to make sure the experience was great for everyone from the experienced climber to the first time novice. We will definitely be heading back in the future.
Spring Break officially starts for most of you this coming Friday. As we discussed after dinner, there will be no UMYF this coming Sunday, 28 March 2010 because of this vacation. Many of you noted that you would be out of town or otherwise involved. There will also be no UMYF the following Sunday, 4 April 2010, as that is Easter Sunday and many have said they will be with their families. There will be no Socratic Club or Revelation Bible Study during Spring Break, however these activities will resume as regularly scheduled on 5 April 2010. We will have Revelation Bible Study at 4pm on Tuesday and Socratic Club at 5pm on Wednesday evening. Thanks to everyone who came out on Sunday, we had a large group. See you this week, be blessed in all you do.
Best,
Chuck

All G.A.P. and UMYF,
A special thanks to Mrs. Vicki Harvey for an excellent dinner last night for UMYF. I do not think there was any left or there was very little for her to take home. Everyone enjoyed it and had many a full plate! We really do appreciate all the members that go out of their way and take the time to provide this valuable part of our programming. I hope everyone learned something and enjoyed our program on prayer. I am even of the mind that thinking about prayer in many ways is a type of prayer and continually brings us closer to the Absolute, much like we discussed last night. We had a good group and all the prayers that were written were poignant and introspective on many levels.
We have our usually array of events this week, Revelation Bible Study at 4pm on Tuesday and Socratic Club at 5pm on Wednesday. We will be going to Glendale on Sunday to their Rock Wall. We will meet at the church earlier then usual and conclude with dinner at the end when we return. We will meet at the church at 4pm. I am still looking for people to sign up for Salkehatchie this summer. If you are interested, come talk to me and pick up a form. I was fortunate enough to have lunch last week at SDS and McCracken. Look for me at your school at the coming weeks during lunch. See you guys around.
Best,
Chuck

All UMYF and G.A.P.,
I hope everyone had a good time last night and went home full! A special thanks to the Carey family for providing supper for UMYF and G.A.P. I would just like to go on the record and say those were the largest subs I have ever seen before in my entire life. Congratulations to McDavid and Leland for eating two gigantic foot longs. I also think we did a good job of working it all out before and afterward with some great games of Knock Out. We will have to do it again soon!
Last night we made a comprehensive dream list of activities for the Spring and Summer. I hope everyone is happy with the list and if you have anything to add please let's talk about it and get it down on paper. We went over the calendar for the next couple of months to let you know what is going on and where. You will be getting your own long range calendars very soon. Revelation Bible Study will meet Tuesday at 4pm and Socratic Club will meet Wednesday at 5pm as regularly scheduled. Hope to see you guys at our regular activities, and bring a friend! See you around.

All UMYF,
Whew, we did it! I hope everyone had a fantastic time this past weekend at Sugar Mountain. I would like to extend a special thanks on behalf of the UMYF to Julie and Todd Stephens, Laura and Tommy Edwards, and David Clyburn for making this trip a reality. Without their help we would not have been able to make such a wonderful UMYF adventure possible. I hope everyone had a great time bonding during the entire weekend and skiing all day on Saturday. Laura Edwards did a dynamite job with the food preparation. We had nothing left! I hope everyone truly had a blast and I cannot wait until our next overnight adventure. I hope we can possibly take a retreat later this summer to Asbury Hills!
I am still in need of registration forms for Salkehatchie Camp this summer. If you are interested, need a new form, or have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me here at the church. I will be more than happy to answer. The sooner we get these forms in the sooner we can lock in our slots at the Durham Camp. We had a great group go last year and I hope we have even more attend this year. It was a great experience and I hope more of your can participate and experience it fully.
Revelation Bible Study was canceled due to snow today, but I hope everyone will be in attendance for Socratic Club Wednesday night at 5pm. The Security Blanket will be joining us for dinner Wednesday night, and I hope a few UMYFers will stick around to help entertain the children in the program. This Sunday we will be doing some more long range planning during UMYF, so everyone come with your thinking caps on and ready with ideas of things you want to do and see. See you guys around.
