Spend Mother's Day...with your MOM!!
This is a big weekend!  Love on your mom a bit.  We've had a "CREDO" retreat tentatively scheduled on our long range calendar for this weekend.  Mary Ketchersid and I have both agreed that it needs to be rescheduled for the fall.  ALSO, our Johnston Woods Workday scheduled for this Saturday will be rescheduled as Johnston Woods doesn't have any work that needs to be done at this time (by a youth group)!  Take your mom out to dinner, do the dishes and mow the yard without being asked a million times.  And for goodness sake, clean your room!

What is Assembly?
Assembly is a hundred-year-old-plus ministry of the Holston Conference UMC!  This year, Assembly will be at Tennessee Wesleyan College.  This is an amazing opportunity to connect deeply with Christ.  It is without a doubt a favorite of the youth who have attended in the past. Youth stay in college dorms and eat in the cafeteria.  We will have a daily speaker & worship music, a fantastic concert, very meaningful family group time, lots of organized fun and plenty of free time.  Youth will also sign up for daily interest groups that include the option to explore worship arts such as song writing, acting, art, photography, etc.  Register through Broad Street and receive $40 off the registration fee.  More details can be found on the forms tab above.

Youth Family Picnic!!
I know this is a crazy time of year!  It's time to hit the "pause" button.  Take a few minutes to just relax and have fun with your family this Sunday.  I've reserved the Pavilion at Johnston Woods on Sunday, May 6.  If we had a planned timeframe - which we don't - it would be from 5pm-7pm. You are welcome to come early.  Bring a picnic dinner for your family. Go fishing, ride the paddle boats or canoes, play disc golf or horseshoes, or maybe just go for a hike.  This is your time to be together as a family with your church family.

Important Message about Our Mission Trip
Summertime is upon us.  We are excited that our Broad Street summers are filled with opportunities to connect children, youth, and adults together in missions, service, and outreach.  We are so excited about Bible school and Wonders in the Woods.  Another of our valued ministries is the Youth Mission Trip to Welch, WV - June 3-9.  We have a fantastic team of adults ready to be in ministry with our youth as we make a difference in the lives of the people in Appalachia. 

Our registration deadlines have already passed and we don’t yet have the minimum number of youth to be able to take the trip.  We have some challenging decisions to make and I need your help.  If your youth is planning to go on the mission trip this year, I need to hear a “yes” from you no later than this Sunday, May 6.  It is so late in the season, that a maybe will not be helpful.  Our advisory team will make a decision on how to move forward on Monday.  Scholarships are available! All of our forms are available online at the church website and the youth website as well as in the youth info racks located throughout the church.  Thank you, and whatever we decide, I know you are as excited as I am about the summer of missions ahead of us.
