BSUMC Youth Update - March 19, 2012

N*Light*N reminder
No rehearsal this week, but we will meet next week during Spring Break.

Eggstravaganza and Wonders in the Woods Orientation
Next Sunday, April 1 is the Eggstravaganza and Wonders in the Woods Orientation.  Come to the Johnston Woods ball field at 2:30pm to help hide eggs, then be at the Pavilion by 5:30pm for the Wonders in the Woods orientation.  

Summer Registrations!
It's time to register now for our Summer Mission trip to Welch, West Virginia (for youth currently in the 8th grade and up).  Registration forms can be found
online or at any of our youth info racks (at the elevator, in the youth dept., and in the choir room)

Also, registration is underway for Assembly, a hundred-year-old-plus ministry of the Holston Conference UMC!  This year, Assembly will be at Tennessee Wesleyan College.  It is without a doubt a favorite of the youth who have attended in the past. Register through Broad Street and receive $40 off the registration fee.  The registration form for Assembly is available at any of our youth info racks and will be online very soon. 

Sunday School!
It's a great time to come to Sunday school! THIS WEEK - we're going to try to finish stuffing our eggs for the Eggstravaganza!  Only about 700 or so to go! 

Next Sunday, our spring studies continue:

Our Middle School Youth are entering into the Epic Stories of our Faith and Jesus' Parables. 

Our Senior High youth are studying how to have a "Rock Solid Faith" from 2 Timothy.  They are also having special guests throughout who are sharing about their own faith.


College Scholarship Deadline SOON!
It's time to begin applying for the Broad Street Memorial Scholarship and the N*Light*N Scholarships, available to current and former youth attending college in the fall.  Pick up a form with scholarship requirements in the church office.  Deadline for all application materials is March 31.
