Christ Youth Info Dec 10-16

Hey everyone!

This season and semester has come and gone. And I am surprised about how quickly the time has passed. I just wanted to thank everyone for an awesome first school semester. Right now, our students are preparing for finals (which begin next week for some) and to get all their ducks in a row before the year is out. Let’s keep them in our prayers and make sure they don’t get too stressed out over these tests. The Christmas party went smashingly, as we had a high attendance and everyone had plenty of fun. I am also now a proud owner of a Connor Fink signed baseball, courtesy of our White Elephant Gift exchange. A big thanks goes out to the Gully’s for helping us out this weekend and hosting the Party for us. It was amazing. I am so grateful to be a part of these students’ lives.

This week is our last Refuel for the remainder of 2012, and we won’t start back up will January 6^th 2013. I want you all to have a very safe and fun holidays. And an ever joyous and merry Christmas.

BIG REMINDERS!

The Youth Garage Sale begins in January: I would like everyone (students and parents) to keep a close eye out for information concerning the Garage sale. Pick Ups will begin January 5^th. And as we get closer more information will be coming.
