Salvage Fall Retreat

Our annual fall retreat is coming up! We alternate between Vision and Salvage, and this year is a Salvage year. So HIGH SCHOOLERS - you're all invited to join us in SWITZERLAND, October 5-8. Cost is $85 and it includes transportation, most meals and 3 nights lodging. This is a fun, community building weekend for students to get to know each other and create some fun memories together. In addition to spending time in the Word and worshipping, we'll have some great hiking opportunities in the beautiful Alp town of Adelboden.

Flyers and sign up information will be handed out at youth group tomorrow (11 September). Sign ups are due back by September 26th - that gives you the next two weeks to chat about it!

HIS hunger games

Just a reminder, HIS hunger games are this weekend! On Saturday, September 8th at Pulaski Park from 1-5:30. This is going to be a GREAT time.

We've got dodgeballs, finger darts, random food items and crazy games in store for students... students will be divided into districts for an awesome afternoon of competitions. (Safety side note: Middle and high school students will be on separate teams and won't be competing against each other!) 

This event is open to all middle and high school students and is a great opportunity for students to invite their friends who don't typically come to youth group, and introduce them to Vision and Salvage.

Students should bring a water bottle, we'll have drinks on hand for refills and dinner will be provided!

Parent's Meeting

Our annual parent's meeting is coming up! Join us on Tuesday, September 18th at 5:15 in the North Chapel Conference Room. We'll be meeting in between Vision and Salvage meeting times.

We'll be giving you information about this year's studies, events and retreats, discussing ways to get involved/volunteer ... and answering any questions you have! We'll also be handing out the annual parental permission form and gathering contact information to build our group roster to keep you informed throughout the year.

Looking forward to seeing you and meeting many of you! Light snacks will be provided : )

We're encouraging students to tell their parents about the meeting and it's on the calendar we've been passing out to students ... but please pass the word along as you see other parents to ensure everyone knows! THANKS!!

We're looking forward to a great year with your students. Thanks for your involvement!
