Hey, guys!

We will not be having UMYF this Sunday since it’s a holiday weekend. I hope you’ll spend this time with your family and friends.

NWG Choir will still have practice on Sunday at 4:00 since you will be singing “Shout Amen” in worship on the 12th.

Thanks and have a safe weekend!

WnW Design Team Meeting

Join us on September 11, 2010 for the WnW Design Team formation day. We will begin the process of developing WnW 2011.

We need a lot of help so bring your friends!

Bring your ideas, our theme is “Illuminate,” our band is Pocket Full of Rocks, and our speaker is Mark Oestreicher.

It’s time to dive in!  This year for our fall Camping Trip we are heading back to the Ocoee River for some fun and adventure as we take on one of the premiere rivers in the South Eastern United States.  You certainly don’t want to be left on the shore line for this trip.  So here is what’s up:

1. The Date.  We had originally said we would go on September 11-12.  However, we have had to reschedule.  The new date for this awesome adventure is set for Sept. 18-19.
2. Deposit.  We must have a $35 deposit from each youth participant who wants to go.  This deposit is due to me no later than August 29^th.  The remaining $20 dollars will be due by September 12^th.
3. Registration Form.  In addition to the deposit we need a Registration form for each youth participant.  You may get those at UMYF or download them using the link.
4. Medical Information & Activity Form.  All youth participants need to have a completed Medical Information and Activity Form. 
5. Orientation Session.  You and one parent must attend the Orientation session on Sunday Sept. 12^th at 6:30 PM.  At this time we will go over what all our youth need to bring, and or not bring with them, as well as all the expectations for the trip.  I anticipate that this orientation session will last about 45 minutes.

Prepare yourself for one of the best 5 mile adventures of a lifetime.  You don’t want to miss this!  If you have any questions please call me at 824-8725, or email me at brad.holliman@hfumc.org.

Don’t forget these important events this week:

• Sunday School - We hope that each youth will participate in our Youth Sunday School program here at HFUMC. We have some dynamic teachers who have signed up to help us go deeper in our walk with Jesus Christ. This is a great place to meet others in our youth program and grow your Christian faith.
• NWG Choir will start rehearsals on August 15 at 4:00 p.m. in M-201.
• Parents Meeting on Aug. 15 at 4:00 p.m. in the Youth Lounge
• UMYF – This is going to be our weekly youth meeting as a large group. During UMYF, we are going to have a short meal time where we can enjoy good food and fellowship with one another, followed by some wacky games, announcements, and a devotion time. Every Sunday from 5:00-6:30 p.m.
• Drive Groups – Each youth is going to have the opportunity to sign up to be in a Drive Group. Drive Groups are small groups of people who gather once a week to support one another, pray for each other, and grow together in faith.

NWG Choir will start practicing again this Sunday, August 15 at 4:00 p.m. in M-201 (the Choir Room). I hope everyone will come out and bring your friends. Let’s fill the choir loft this year!

It’s that time again! Our pool party is this Sunday, August 8 from 6:00-8:00 p.m.

• Help us welcome the 7th graders into Youth
• Learn about our upcoming fall events
• Catch up with your old friends and make some new ones
• Guys – bring drinks
• Girls – bring chips
• HFUMC will provide the rest

The party will be held at the Maples Pool (CLICK HERE for directions). Bring your friends and we’ll see you Sunday!

Several weeks ago members of the SPRC met with you all during the Sunday School hour in order to give each of you a chance to speak concerning a change of staff personnel in regards to the youth director position here at Hendersonville First UMC.  In that meeting it was stated that there would be two youth representatives from the Youth Group that would be part of the search committee.  Here is how we will select the representatives:

If you are wanting to be a part of the Search Committee, I am asking that you write a one to two page letter explaining why it is that you would like to be a part of this process.  These letters will be due in to me by Sunday, August 8^th at noon.  You may either email your letter to me or bring it by the church office.  After the letters have been received, I will white out the names and a team of Youth Leaders will read over the letters and select the two they feel will best represent the Youth Group. 

I believe strongly that our youth group needs to be represented in this important process.  This is the fairest way I know to select two individuals to be part of the Search Committee.  I am praying that many of you all will take the time to write a short letter and submit it to me by Sunday at noon.  The results of the selection process will be made known shortly thereafter. 

If you should have any questions please feel free to email me at brad.holliman@hfumc.org, or you may call or txt me at 878-0005.  I look forward to receiving your letters this week.

 In Christ,

Brad
