]]>A couple of things to remember as we head into the holidays! First off, UMY will not be meeting on Christmas Day or New Year's Day. Next, we will be taking time off for Mid-Week Bible Study until January 11 (01/11/12).
AND DON'T FORGET TO LET ALLEN KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DONATING FOR YOUTH AUCTION!
Youth Sunday & Auction!
We’re on a tight timeline for the Youth Live & Silent Auction! The date is set and on the calendar: January 29, 2012! Since this fundraiser is THE big financial support for our mission trips for the summer AND this is my first time with it...we’re going to need all the help we can get! In the past this has been an awesome fundraiser, and I would like to continue that as we move along as a youth group. Please be in thought and prayer about what you can do to help out!
How can you help out? We’ll need youth to volunteer their time & talents! Maybe donate time for tutoring, babysitting, yardwork, teaching someone else a sport, computer skills, sign language, cooking…etc). Maybe you’re an artist and could donate a painting, sculpture, or other item. Maybe you’re a chef and could donate a pie, cake, or even a whole meal. Maybe you’re a musician and could put on a small concert of a few songs. These are just a few ideas of things that could be donated without a lot of work or money!
There will be a sign up list going around on Sunday (12/11/11) for youth to sign up for their donation(s) for bidding on the Youth Auction. We’ve seen all kinds of things donated…sports lessons, school tutoring, playdates, babysitting, handmade paintings/drawings…the only limit is you! All the youth are encouraged to donate their time, gifts, and talents! If you come up with something before then, don’t hesitate to drop me a line and let me know! I’ll put it right on the list! THANKS!
Besides donations, this is also my first time putting this together. So we could use help adults and youth in some of the areas listed below. Please let me know if you can help coordinate one of the following:
If there are other areas that you think that you will be able to help, please let me know…again this is my first time on this side of the auction and I would appreciate all the help we can get!
