Equip and Escape for Vision Students

Equip is an overnight retreat for middle school students interested in learning how to share their faith with their peers. Cost is free!! It's January 25-26 at the Pulaski Youth Chapel. We'll start with lunch on Friday and end with dinner on Saturday. Register at: www.equip2013.eventbrite.com 


Escape is 4 day camp for middle schoolers, February 15th-18th. It's amazingly fun and a great time for all 6th-8th graders. We combine with 4 other base youth groups, so it's 150+ middle schoolers!! We have a great team comp/recreation times, evening sessions with music, skits and a speaker, afternoon free time of dodgeball, finger darts, swimming and ice skating. This year's theme is the Hobbit and we'll be looking at a great journey that we are invited to join in. We'll leave Friday afternoon and return Monday afternoon. Cost is $180 and it includes, transportation, lodging, meals and camp fun (t-shirt, games, etc.). We will have a parent's meeting after Vision on February 5th to go over packing list and camp details. Register by Wednesday, January 16th at: www.escape2013.eventbrite.com 


Retreat flyers for both weekends have gone out to students the past few weeks - if you have questions please call us! We hope your student can join in all the fun in the coming weeks.


High schoolers ... spring break camp is around the corner, we'll have info for you in February. : )

Bowling on Tuesday

Hello PYOC families, 

If you've had a chance to look through the new spring calendars that were handed out at youth group, you'll notice that this Tuesday is a special day! Due to a scheduling conflict at the chapel on Tuesday, we are going bowling. In all of the excitement of being back at youth group last week after the Christmas/New Year break, we forgot to make an announcement about bowling. We are sorry about that and hope that this doesn't catch you terribly off guard or throw you off. We recognize that families stay busy and we desire to keep you updated well in advance. Please encourage students to remind their friends at school on Monday of the bowling event. 

Vision Students - walk to the chapel as usual after school on Tuesday, and we will shuttle you over to the bowling alley. Parents, please pick your student up at the bowling alley at 5:00. 

Salvage Students - meet at the bowling alley at 7:00. Parents, please pick your student up at the bowling alley at 8:45. 

Please bring $7 to cover the cost of 2 games and shoe rental. (It's a little less than this, but carrying quarters for exact change all day isn't fun!). 

Students can also bring extra $ for snacks/drinks. The bowling alley doesn't allow in outside food/drink. 

And one last friendly reminder ... Wednesday Bible studies will resume this week. Middle schoolers meet from 3:30-5 and high schoolers meet from 6:30-8. Guys and girls meet separately. Both groups meet in the KMCC party room (by the play area). 

Thank you for being a part of PYOC! We love ministering to your student(s) and we're thankful for you!! 

Annual Christmas Party

Hey Vision and Salvage students - our annual Christmas party is coming up next week, Tuesday, December 18th. 

Step 1: Find an Ugly Sweater
In preparation... start going through your clothes (or your dad's closet!) in search of an ugly sweater!! Prizes will be given out for the tackiest, ugly sweater (we'll have 2 categories - a year round one, and a Christmas themed one). 

Step 2: Find a White Elephant Gift 
We'll also do a White Elephant Gift exchange. Your gift should be fun and something that people will want to steal. It cannot be alive, or previously alive. So, go through your room or ask your parents if they have something they no longer want. If you do purchase something, don't spend more than $5. Wrap your gift and bring it to youth group nextTuesday!

Step 3: Come to youth group next week!
If you'd like to bring your favorite Christmas goodie to share, that would be great! 

^ Ugly Sweaters from last year's parties ... 

can you beat those sweaters this year??

Vision Christmas Market outing

VISION 

Just a reminder that tomorrow afternoon is our Christmas market outing. Students can walk over to the chapel after school and we'll head to the Ktown market. We'll return to the North Chapel at 8:00 for pick up. Students should bring EURO for dinner and any shopping they'd like to do. Students should dress warm!! 

We are expecting a lot of snow tomorrow. Chapel policy states that if the road condition is red one hour prior to an event, that event is cancelled. If school lets out early tomorrow because of weather, we will not go to the market. If road conditions are good, we will go to the market. If you have any questions, please call. 

We are looking forward to a fun evening enjoying the Christmas season!
