Clean

Help us get the upstairs ready for the new
school year. Please dress- down for church on Sunday, September 5th
and then join us upstairs at 11 am to clean up the upstairs rooms. We will be
ordering pizza for lunch after we are finished working. All youth are welcome
to take part. Please sign up on the youth board if you plan to attend. The more
youth who can participate, the less time it will take.

Safe
Church
We will be holding an in house Safe Church
training on Saturday, September 4th from 9 am - 1 pm. Safe Church
training is required for volunteers and staff working with children and youth
in the Episcopal Church. It is an abuse prevention program that reminds us all
of the responsibility we have to make sure the Church remains a safe place for
all of its members. If your parents are interested in volunteering for youth
events in the future, do suggest that they contact Alison to register for this
training.

Confirmation
Letters have been sent out to youth
eligible for first year Confirmation classes and to those beginning their
second year of study with their mentor. If you did not receive a letter, but
would like more information about our Confirmation programs, please talk to
Alison. There will be an informational meeting for first year Confirmation on
Wednesday, September 8th at 6:15 pm. Please register with Alison if
you plan to attend.

Rally
Day
Registrations for all of the youth programs
will take place on Rally Day, September 12th. We ask that you and
your parents drop by the youth table and fill out a medical information form
that will be kept on file for the year. Special events require a small
permission form to participate, but having the medical information on file
saves your parents having to rewrite it for each event. I’ll look forward to
seeing you all on Rally Sunday!

no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living
