WEPC Youth News
April 28, 2010

Friends, this will be the last weekly “WEPC Youth News” email for the school year.  Of course, we’ll be sending out periodic emails as we get closer to our summer events.  Below, you’ll find several announcements in regards to upcoming events.  I hope you’ll find these helpful and please let me know if you have any questions at all.  On a side note, we continue to look for adults to accompany us to Carowinds (June 16th) and Montreat Youth Conference in July.  With joy, Chip

Senior Sunday (Breakfast & Footprints) – Sunday, May 23rd
Help us celebrate our graduating seniors this Sunday, May 23rd.  All youth (and recent graduates!) are invited to join us for the Senior Breakfast from 10:00-10:45 in the Crawford Center.  In worship, we’ll recognize our graduates.  Following worship, grab some ice cream from under the oaks (it’s the homemade type straight from Ben’s Ice Cream) and join us in the Hogan House as our seniors leave their “footprints”.

Breakfast Bunch – Tuesday, May 25th
 
This will be our last “Breakfast Bunch” of the year.  You can either meet Chip in the church parking lot by 6:45, or meet us at Chick-fil-a at 7:15.  We’ll make sure you get a ride to school.  There will not be a Breakfast Bunch on May 18th, as I will be out of town this week.  (Sorry!)
 
Carowinds – Wednesday, June 16th
Our Carowinds trip is open to all those who are currently in the 5th – 12th grades.  (Again, we still need a few adults and possibly a driver or two.)  Please call Lynne in the church office (673-4341)  by Friday, June 11th if you plan on going.  Details are still being worked out, but it looks like we’ll leave around 9:30 am, stopping for lunch in Charlotte.  We’ll stay at the park through dinner, returning to West End around 10pm that evening.  It’s a long day, but packed full of fun.  Tickets will be $34, and you’ll need money for a fast food lunch (or you can bring a bag lunch) and Carowinds dinner.
 
S.W.A.P. Mission Trip – July 12th-17th
Our S.W.A.P plans are now on their way, with one orientation session completed.  Balances for this trip and forms are now due (total cost is $225).  Our second orientation session will be Sunday, June 27th from 12:30-2:00PM.
 
Montreat Youth Conference – July 25th-31st
We have one more “spot” for this year’s Montreat Youth Conference.  Balances for this trip are now due.  The Montreat prep night will be Wednesday, July 21st from 6-7pm.  All participants are expected to be in worship on Sunday, July 25th at 10am.
 
Wild and Wacky Wednesdays – all summer long
Wild and Wacky Wednesdays is open for those currently in Pre-K through the eighth grade.  We’ll have a wide range of activities, from the water park in Greensboro to the North Carolina Zoo to a visit to KaLaWi farms and Ben’s Ice Cream.  Let Chip know if you’re interested in participating.Youth Happenings
