Annual Ski Retreat

Annual Sr. High Ski Retreat

This year’s High School ski trip is January 7-9, 2011 at Winterplace Resort in Flat Top, WV. We'll meet at church at 2:00 pm on Friday, so early dismissal from school will be required. This is necessary in order to drive during daylight and to get the equipment before the resort closes. The basic cost is $125 with some variations for boarders or for folks who own their own equipment. For families who have elected not to buy SCRIP, the cost is $167 with some variations. Your $50 deposit is now due - so we can finalize the list, and secure counselors and transportation. Only those who have skied before – or boarded before may snowboard. First-time skiers must take lessons, at no additional cost. The cost

includes: lodging, five meals, equipment, and lift ticket for Saturday and half a day Sunday. We’ll also go to a Christian concert by Tenth Avenue North on Saturday evening. Look them up online or check out their CD from Randy’s office.

A list of clothing for the weekend will be provided. Accommodations are in a motel near Beckley, WV. We will return on Sunday, January 9 in the early evening. Sign up at the Youth Communication Center in the lower narthex. We have 16 spaces reserved for youth and will take sign-ups on a first-paid, first-served basis.

Doing the Most Good

Salvation Army Bell Ringing for Youth
Mark the dates for bell ringing – December 4 from 9:30 am to 6:30 pm. (Note the time change from the Torch. This annual project helps the Salvation Army to “GO out to share His love” in ways
that most of us will never have the opportunity to do. YOU also have the opportunity to "GO" simply by ringing the bells, wishing a "Merry Christmas" or our REAL OBJECTIVE: "God Bless You!"
This year we will be at Gayton Crossing and East Ridge.

Middle School youth need a parent chaperone, High School youth can ring with a buddy or alone if you've got it in you. Sign up at the Youth Communications Center in the lower narthex.
