Mission Trip Update

We’re heading into the home stretch of preparations for The mission trip to Bayou La Batre, Alabama.
• Your Final Payment for the trip is due Sunday June 20th by 10:00am!!!! Please make arrangements to have your account up to the $675 mark by that day because we need to send out payments for vans, lodging, etc.
• For families that are coming up significantly short of the $675, the Endowment Board of Bethlehem is willing to help in a one-time capacity. The funds available to the Endowment board are limited and need to be accessed by those in greatest need. If you are finding yourself in this position, please talk to Pastor Ivy.
• Starting Wednesday June 9th, we will be having prep meetings for the trip. These prep meetings are for those who are going on the trip and will take place Wednesday June 9, 16, and 23 from 7:00-8:30pm in the Living Room. Wednesday June 30th, from 7:30am-12:00, we will be doing the ropes course at Clearwater Forest camp near Garrison. Please wear long pants, tennis shoes and sunscreen, plus bring a water bottle. We need everyone at these meetings so please make every attempt to be there!
• Wednesday July 7th at 7:00pm we will have our Parents/Youth Informational Meeting where all the details of the trip, including where we are staying, phone trees, emergency plans, etc will be shared. Parents and participants are expected to be at this meeting. If you have any questions, talk to Pastor Ivy.

Summer Bible Camp is just around the corner!

Luther Crest Bible Camp on beautiful Lake Carlos in Alexandria will be providing a wide range of fun activities for kids of all ages this summer. Their theme, “Filled with Joy” will lead us into exploring all the great things that God has done! Bethlehem youth are encouraged to attend camp the week of July 25-30, 2010 in either the Faith Leapers Camp (grades 4-6) or Witnesses (grades 7-9). We are encouraging youth who are in 5th grade to consider going to camp as a fun and foundational step of faith before they start Catechism next fall. Luther Crest brochures with the registration form can be found in the kiosk in the Narthex. Financial assistance is available. Talk to Pastor Ivy if you have any questions.
