Jr. High Overnight - "May" it be

As a way to honor the jr. high students who had hoped to attend the spring retreat at Camp Kum Ba Ya, the youth group ministry is hoping to create a date in May for an overnight (or at least extended evening). The hope is to have the overnight either Friday, May 18th or Saturday, May 19th.

We are seeking some parents to help out by doing one of the following:

• hosting the overnight at your house
  
• serving as a volunteer or chaperone for the evening
• helping to prepare a meal for the evening or morning
  

The youth committee will provide a schedule for the evening - including time for games & recreation, worship, eating and sleeping.

While we will not be able to recreate the opportunity some of our baptized youth had hoped to experience at Camp Kum Ba Ya, this will give these jr. high students the chance to experience God's Word, community with one another and our care as those responsible for their spiritual maturation. It will also open up the opportunity for those who could not attend Kum Ba Ya because of other constraints.

I hope you will consider creating and supporting this evening of fun, fellowship and faith formation. If you can help in any way, please contact the church (churchoffice@firstpresbyterianowensboro.com / 684.1467) or by contacting myself (associatepastor@firstpresbyterianowensboro.com).

God's peace to you,

Wes
