Youth
Ministry
Meeting
As an experiment, we are
moving the youth ministry meetings to a time that may make it easier for youth
and parents to attend. The next youth ministry meeting will be held on April 7th
at 11am. These are the meetings that we recap and discuss programs and services
for youth in this parish. Anyone is welcome to attend, especially if you are in
the youth group.

In
Closing
I apologize that most of
these dates did not make it into the Large Voice or calendar this month. The
TEC I went to mid-March caused some of my usual deadlines to change. If you
have any questions about the programs or activities, please contact
me.
Thanks,
Alison

The summer mission trip has
been planned for August 1st-August 6th. It will be open

Camp Heartland
is giving us free food and tent lodging in exchange for our work. We
will be at Camp from August 1st-5th and then have a day
of play on August 6th as a reward. You will receive more information
