UMYF NEWS:

Hello all! This year is wrapping up quite nicely for our youth. Here is what is coming up for the end of 2007 and beginning of 2008 and some other notes sprinkled throughout.

              Our youth group went to Youth Alive at Camp Ladore in Waymart on November 9th and 10th. We had a really great time! Special thanks to the Sunday School for helping to pay for us! It was well worth it.

 On Sunday, November 18^th, the youth had their annual soup and roll dinner. This important fundraiser made over $400 for the youth group, counting button sales! Thanks to all who attended and made all of those great soups. They were delicious! 

On Saturday, December 1^st, the youth is going to gather along with the congregation and our new friends at the Laotian church. We are excited about meeting new people and expanding our horizons! A short youth meeting will immediately follow. 

The youth are talking about going Christmas caroling to nursing homes across our area this month. More details to come!

 On Saturday, December 15^th, the Santa’s Elves for Parents Day Out will take place after Kids Christmas Fun Day! This new event will be a babysitting service running from 11 AM (Immediately after the fun day) until 3 PM. The cost is $15 per child, and then $5 for each additional child of that family. We will be feeding the kids lunch. This is a new fundraiser for the youth and it hopefully be successful, but only with your help! 

On Sunday, January 13^th, the youth will be holding a talent show! There will soon be a sign-up sheet in the back of the sanctuary for anyone interested. More details to come!

 As always, we welcome all new members to the youth group with open arms. If you have any questions regarding youth group, please do not hesitate to contact me at yayducks921@hotmail.com. We also have information posted on our website, freewebs.com/blumcyouth. Have a great month!

God bless,
