YOUTH GROUP NEWS

Need something fun to do for the whole family? Tired of the same old Saturday night routine? Make plans to spend Saturday, March 9 at the Youth Group Mystery Dinner organized by the 2002 Pilgrims. The party gets started at 6 PM at St. Paul’s. Expect a deviation from the usual dinner. The entire evening is a surprise. The money from the dinner will go toward the 2002 pilgrimage to England, so come show your support.

Tickets will be sold after Sunday services on both February 24 and March 3. Come to church prepared to purchase your tickets. Advanced tickets will cost $6 per person, $2 for children between the ages of 3-7, and free for children 2 and under. The dinner is open to everyone so bring your friends. We guarantee it will be a good time. Tickets purchased at the door will be $7.

For those of you who are vegetarians, we are offering vegetarian alternatives for the entree. Don’t feel obligated to dress up, because the dress for the evening will be casual and comfortable. Hope to see you there.

We will be gathering at the YMCA on Hollywood Road on Saturday, March 16 for some gym and swim time. We have reserved gym time beginning at 12:30 PM. We would like to gather in the lobby between 12:15 and 12:30. We will have one hour gym time and 1 hour of swim time, plus a snack. Plan to be picked up at 3:30 PM in the lobby. If you do not wish to swim you can watch from the bleachers. Brooke might also be able to arrange some extra gym activities instead. We are still waiting to hear on that. You can also arrange to be picked up earlier if you wish. The cost per person is $5, permission slips are required as are swimsuits for those going into the pool. Friends are welcome but MUST be signed up and provided with a permission slip, (found on the March Update).

FUND RAISING:

We will be selling tickets for the Mystery Dinner after both services on February 24 and March 3. Everyone is needed for selling. All are expected to attend the preparation time on Saturday, March 9 from 1-3 PM on the lower level and the dinner that evening. You will need to be at church by 5:00 PM in order to finish up last minute jobs and eat your dinner. We ask parents to cover the cost of your meal that night if you are eating with us.
