Park Terrace UMC Youth Group

Hi Cruisers!

The informational material for Annual Conference are now available. You can find the information here: http://www.wyomingconference.org/page.asp?PKValue=1036.

Please let me know by Sunday May 3 if you would like to go to Conference this year. It takes place at the University of Scranton from Thursday May 29 to Saturday May 31. You will stay in dorm rooms with other youth and attend Conference sessions and youth activities. The costs are listed on the registration form, which you can get here:

Park Terrace is allowed one youth representative for whom room and meals will be paid. If more than one youth would like to go to Conference (and join Lauren who is youth representative for the Binghamton District), you can share the meals and split the cost. Remember, the church has a youth scholarship available that you can apply for! Ask Pastor Nick for information on this scholarship.

If you want to go to Conference, (1) get your parents permission, (2) talk to your teachers about homework and quizzes, and (3) let me know by Sunday May 3 if you can go. Let me know if you have any questions!

Go Mets!

This Sunday, April 13, bring your sneakers and a rake to church, because we will be raking leaves at Mr. Johnson’s house. In return, he is donating $100 to our Relay for Life team! I know! We should be done by 2:00 p.m.

Don’t forget to help make Stacy a bobblehead by voting at www.bmets.com!
(The voting mechanism on the left. Write her name in the “other” spot.)

This Sunday (April 6) we are having another free-will offering lunch, this one with a cheese theme. On the menu is fettucini alfredo, mac and cheese, broccoli and cheese soup, grilled cheese, goat cheese, cheetos/cheese poofs, cheese and crackers, and cheesecake. Mmmm.

What we still need: Goat cheese, cheese poofs, cheese and crackers, and cheesecake. Please e-mail me or leave a comment if you are willing to provide one of these items.

The proceeds from this lunch will be going toward our Relay for Life team (for the American Cancer Society). I think we can raise $3,000 this year! Everyone who has one, please wear a Relay for Life shirt on Sunday. Most of us have more than one, so please bring extras for those who don’t or who forget to bring their shirt.

To do:
Volunteer to bring one of the cheese items
Wear your RFL shirt on Sunday
Bring an extra RFL shirt or two

See you Sunday!

P.S. The Tioga County Relay for Life Web site is here.
Our team Web site is here. Don’t forget to join the team!

Ice skating tomorrow evening is CANCELLED. Too few of you (only one who I’ve heard from) are able to go. We ARE having the lock-in, so everything I said in the previous post applies, minus the ice skating part. The lock-in will begin at the church tomorrow at 8:00 p.m. Mrs. Nunes will be supplying breakfast on Sunday (yahoo!).

See you tomorrow at 8:00!

We will be ice skating on Saturday March 15 from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm at the BCC Ice Center. Following ice skating will be a lock-in, sleeping–yes sleeping–in the youth room. Bring church clothes to change into for Sunday morning. You will still be having Sunday school and going to service. Bring also your sleeping bag, pillow, toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, etc.

After the service on March 16th is the Easter egg hunt, and Mrs. Bogdan has asked for your help. I know most of you are planning on helping anyway since it’s fun.

Remember, let Stacy know this week if you can work at the Home Show this Sunday after church!

Awesome news: a memory card of pictures I thought was lost is, thanks to Red Barn Computers, not. So I’ve added some photos to the Misc. set on the youth group photo Web site, and I’ve also added the sets B-Mets ‘06, CAREnival ‘06, Spring Fling ‘06, and Bowling ‘05. And yes, the B-Mets ‘06 set is from the Breast Cancer Awareness game when we stayed after to get Jay Caligiuri’s autograph, and he did the Jay Caligiuri.

Let me know if you need me to send you another invite e-mail to see the photos. Once you’ve been invited you should be permanently invited to view the pictures.

Coming soon (Sunday) to a fellowship hall near you (yours, actually)–it’s Baked Potato Bar.

This may be the first baked potato bar Park Terrace has ever experienced, and it’s for certain the first baked potato bar that was advertised using a dancing potato wearing chef’s hat, so the pressure is on! Don’t screw it up!

Anyway. We’ll be wrapping our taters in tin foil during Sunday school this Sunday at 9:30. They’ll bake during the service. Then we’ll provide our church with another awesome free (will) lunch. If anyone asks, the potatoes are $25.00 each. They’ll believe you. But if the asking person calls them taters, they get to eat for free (will).

See you Sunday!

Check it out.  Sara W’s letter to the editor was published

Way to voice your opinion, Sara.  I’m glad you care so much for the situation of others, and that you’re brave enough to write to the newspaper about it!

We’ll be having our famous meatball sub sale this Sunday after church in the fellowship hall. We didn’t do preorders this year, so we’re going to cook up our meatballs and make the subs to order. The subs are $4.00 each. Tell everyone you know. We should be done by about 1:30.

Don’t forget to let Pastor Nick and, more important, Augie know if you are going to the Super Bowl party!

6:00PM - February 3rd, Pastor Nick and Brookye’s house, 18 Brookside Ave East.

Bring your parents and siblings, and a snack to share. We’ll watch the big game on an even BIGGER screen! It’s the event of the year in Augie’s life, so don’t disappoint him.

-Pastor Nick

Oh yeah…pizza and soda will be provided.
