SUNDAY, MAY 22

Hi everyone!

WHAT'S UP THIS WEEK
Great job on the Plant Sale! We made about $500 so far and we have a lot of plants still to sell. This coming Sunday we will have one more go of it. Hopefully we will be able to set up outside on the lawn. We will need all youth to help do that and to stay after church for a while to help customers. Everyone who helps will receive a discount off the cost of the retreat trip. See you Sunday!

RETREAT
There are a few of you that have not responded for the retreat. A $50 deposit is due if you are planning on attending. In the next couple of weeks I will be able to give you a final price(probably around $125) and permission slip. Please let me know either way so I can inform the retreat center of our group and plans. Thanks!!

Hi Everyone!!

PLANT SALE
This Sunday is our Plant Sale!  The plan is to set up tables outside on the lawn and fill them with all our home grown veggies, herbs and flowers. The advisors will be buying and bringing some flats of flowers as well. The goal is to make more than $500 to offset the cost of our retreat. Anyone who helps with the sale will receive a discount on the cost of the trip.

Dan will be participating in the Bridging Ceremony during the service so maybe you can take a break and come cheer him on!

ANNUAL MEETING
Sam and Sarah have agreed to babysit during the annual meeting next Sunday, May 22nd. Anyone else? It would be nice to have one or two more youth. Let me know!
