Vision Statement

Thank you for cookie deliveries

Posted May 15th, 2010

Thank you to Bonnie and Dave Fruth, John and Maxine Miller, and Miriam Hoover who provided cookies to deliver to the nearly 80 McPherson and Central Christian College students who have agreed to have contact with our congregation during this year.  The Senior High Youth have packaged those and they are being delivered before exams with a note attached thanking the students for their presence in McPherson, and to stay in touch with our congregation over the summer via our website, on Facebook, or by text messages.  We also expressed our hope to see them again next Fall.

This year cookies have been delivered to these college students on four different occasions, each time packaged by either the Junior or Senior High youth.  That’s nearly 1600 cookies!  Thanks to the congregation for their cookie donations to support these college students, and for supporting this service project of the youth group.

Camp forms due soon

Posted May 15th, 2010

Here’s a reminder about turning in church camp forms in the coming weeks:

Forms for Camp Mt. Hermon Junior High (7-8) Camp, and Camp Colorado Senior High and Junior (5-6) Camps should be in the church office already, in order to have time to add health statements that are still valid and on file from last year, as well as cut checks for the congregation’s portion of registration fees.

Forms for Camp Mt. Hermon Senior High and Junior (5-6) Camps, and Camp Colorado Junior High (7-8) Camp are due in the church office on Sunday, May 16.

Forms for Camp Mt. Hermon Pre-Junior (3-4) and Come-Along-With-Me (K-2) Camps, and Camp Colorado Pre-Junior (3-4) Camp are due in the church on Sunday, May 23.

Also, persons needing transportation to and/or from Camp Colorado should also register with the church office before May 23, or by contacting shawn.replogle@sbcglobal.net.  Registration costs are $90 round trip; $45 one way.  After May 23, spots will be made available on a first-come/first-served basis until remaining spots are filled.

Checks for camp registration costs should be made directly to the camps: Camp Mt. Hermon or Camp Colorado.
Checks for Camp Colorado transportation should be made to: McPherson CoB Youth.

Thanks!  See you at camp!

Camp staff transportation

Posted May 15th, 2010

Persons who are volunteering on the staff of Camp Colorado, and who would like to use the transportation offered the Youth Group are advised that they also need to register by May 23 to be guaranteed a spot “in the van”.  Contact shawn.replogle@sbcglobal.net for more information.

In the past, we have not charged individuals/camp volunteers for the ride to camp.  However if that staff person is eligible for travel reimbursement from the camp because of their volunteer position, staff are asked to request that reimbursement and sign that reimbursement check over to the Youth Group.  This helps defray the costs of providing this transportation to Camp Colorado, costs that are mostly covered by camp participants themselves (except in tough years when the Youth Team covers any deficit).
