This Week!

First, thanks to all of you who served at the Valentine's Day Dinner last week. You did an excellent job and (even more important) showed an excellent spirit. Thanks, too, for your participation in the "debate" in Sunday School yesterday (and for the comments several of you made to me about it later).

This is a full week for our youth group at UBC! Here's the rundown:

1. "Unofficial" activity tonight - going to hear Ian McConnell speak at Hampton Park Baptist Church in Greenville. We will need to leave about 5:45 and will call on the way back. Let me know if you are interested in coming. If no one contacts me, we will be leaving from our house, so please don't just show up at church.

2. Wednesday - Crossfire at 7 in the Hudson House. We will be preparing for the Rescue Mission (see #3 below) and going over ch. 5 in Alone with God. Be sure to read the chapter this week; it contains "the Nuts and Bolts" of the devotional plan. Also, the rough draft of your support letter is due for Mission Team Members. We will talk more about them in a short meeting following Crossfire.

3. Thursday - serving at the Rescue Mission. We will leave from the church at 6 and return between 9:15 and 9:30. We will be singing, giving testimonies, and building relationships as we minister.

4. Friday - girls overnight at our house. Details to come.

5. Saturday - Visitation in the community. Come join us at 10 in the morning; we will meet in the chapel before hitting the streets.

6. Sunday - in Sunday School (9:45 a.m.) we will be doing the 2nd installment of Theology Proper.

7. Sunday Evening - meet at the church at 5 for final preparations for the Youth Night Service (which begins at 6). We will be the ones giving testimonies, making announcements, singing in the choir, leading in prayer, ushering, etc. Don't miss this special opportunity to serve our entire church body.

We look forward to a great week serving with you.
