Dear Youth, Parents, and Volunteers,
I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Jason and I had an amazing time in Antarctica on Christmas and a great time ringing in the New years at Port Madero in Buenos Aries, Argentina. I have posted a few pictures for your you to see the majestic beauty of Antarctica.
This coming Sunday 1/10 we will be meeting at Anaheim UMC. We will be eating a quick dinner and then headed to Santa Ana UMC for a youth led worship service where we get to experience how different cultures worship. I hope to see you all there.
Friday Jan 15-Monday Jan 17 we will be having our Snow Retreat at a cabin in Big Bear. The cost will be $45 for the weekend, which includes food, lodging and an evening snow tubing. Optional Night skiing or snowboarding will be an additional $65. If you would like to ski or snow board please let me know if you have your own equipment or need to rent. Please RSVP by Mon 1/11. There is limited space due to the cabin we are staying at so RSVP early please.
I seem to have misplaced my dinner sign-up sheet. I will have a new sign-up sheet this Sunday and the next few Sundays too.
