Week of 5/18/15 and an important announcement!

Hey there teens and parents...
Great day at church yesterday. Celebrations and some tears all around!
Hope everything is well for you and your families. You're prayed for this week! It was an awesome youth group last night!
Laura and I are headed out for some time away later this week so I wanted to give you a handy reference guide to the next couple weeks and all that's happening for teens so you don't miss anything! 

• This Sunday, 5/24 - Regular Programming - Mr. Keuther will be teaching Sunday School for us, and a group of parents will be leading a game night during youth group time (6:00-8:00). Don't miss it!
• Next Friday, 5/29 - Youth group gathering will be happening at the home of the Eckardts! Come on over from 7:00-10:00 PM on Friday night for a night of fun! Games will be going and get this, the pool will be open! Bring your youth-group-appropriate bathing suit if you'd like to swim (1 piece). Also, bring a snack to share with everyone. Here's the info on getting to the Eckardt's house: put 71 Forest STREET, Milton into your GPS.  This will take you to the end of Forest Lane.  Follow Forest Lane for about 100 yards and you’ll run right into a gray house (don't actually run into it), which is the Eckardt's.
• Next Sunday, 5/31 - We will have regular Sunday School but NO Sunday night gathering. And Sunday School will be special because--and this is the big announcement--it will be taught by our new Jr. High Sunday School teachers! Tyler and Lydia Dresbach have agreed to take over and step up into this role, and they're going to do a great job! Tyler and Lydia are both studying ministry, and have been attending our church for quite a while now and helping out in many ways, including in youth ministry. Make sure you get to meet them over the next couple weeks and say hello!

That should do it. If you need anything I'll be in the office through Wednesday, so don't hesitate to get in touch with me.
You are all appreciated! If you're a parent or volunteer who's told me they can help out with anything while I'm gone, you can expect an email sometime tonight or tomorrow with further instructions and some assignments.
