International Mission Trip in 2014

Plans are being made for a mission trip to Romania in the Summer of 2014. The trip is open to youth (students that have completed 9th grade by summer 2014), parents of youth, and any other interested adults.

Bring your questions and enthusiasm for this exciting opportunity to our informational meeting on Sunday, April 21, 2013 right after church. We will meet in the Education Lobby.

Each semester, our youth divides into teams to compete for various bragging rights and rewards. One of our friendly competitions is to see which team can raise the most money for ZOE Ministry between now and March 10.

The youth want to invite all of you to raid your coin jars and toss your loose change in with theirs and help multiply the overall totals (to date Coin Wars has raised over $150.00). The four team jars are on the Registration Counter (across from the Welcome Center).

This is a happening place to be this summer—just look at all this activity that’s planned:

• Trip to the Holy Land Originally, this trip was scheduled for May 7-16. The trip has been moved to May14-23. It is not too late to sign up and go. Request info via your Connection Card.
• Vacation Bible School is June 17-21. Our theme is “The Everywhere Fun Fair: Where God’s World Comes Together.”
• Junior High Mission Trip July 8-13 Deposits are due now—indicate interest immediately via your Connection Card. We need adults for this trip too.
• Senior High Mission Trip July 14-20 Again, deposits due now—indicate interest immediately via your Connection Card. Adults needed as well.
• Children’s Camp at Bridegeport July 23-27 Camp is for kids that have completed grades 3-5. If you are interested, let us know via your
• Connection Card.

Please be in prayer for the members of our youth and the adults that have volunteered to accompany them as they embark upon a UM Army Mission experience this week. The theme for their week is 'Acts of Worship' with the emphasis being on finding ways to worship outside of church.

They will leave from Faith on Sunday afternoon and head to Van Alstyne (Texas) where they will be installing wheelchair ramps, painting interiors and exteriors and doing other home repair projects for people who are not in a position to pay for these needed improvements themselves.

What a great example they're setting for all of us - giving up part of their summer vacation to be the church.

Rev. Don Kirsch will be holding an informational meeting for anyone who may be interested in a trip to the Holy Land in the spring of 2013. This meeting will be right after worship on Sunday, April 29.

Don't worry if you won't be able to attend!  This meeting is only the FIRST of several opportunities to learn about and 'opt in' for this trip!
