As stated earlier, with the cancellation of school today, there will be no middle school youth group.
As of this morning, the churches lots were still completely covered up. With the very low temperatures expected tonight, we don't want to risk any accidents.
Enjoy your evening at home!

Blizzard Plans - Service Opportunity
Currently, our plan is to have our Sunday worship service at 1:30pm, with Pastor Bob Boidock's Sunday school presentation to be at 3pm. Youth group will be at 6pm as normal - meaning praise band will meet at 5pm. Note that this is the current plan and depending on the weather, these plans may change. The latest news will be on this blog as well as on the church's website.
For Sunday's service, the deacons are asking for help with shoveling sidewalks and clearing out the snow and ice. If you are able to help and would like to serve our church in this way, please call Dave Eby or email him. Both contacts can be found in the directory.
Please call myself or Pastor Nilsson with questions.

Blizzard #2?
Apparently there is another major storm system coming our way. It has the potential to snow us under, or just drop a few inches of the white stuff.
That being said, I wanted to establish a few parameters for this Sunday and Monday youth group meetings.
If church is cancelled on Sunday, we will also cancel all youth activities on Sunday evening.
If St. Mary's Public Schools are closed on Monday, we will also cancel all youth activities on Monday evening.
If you have questions concerning this, please let me know.

Summer Activities
This summer will be another busy summer for the youth group. Right now, there is a middle school camp being planned and the possibility of a big high school trip as well. We'll also be taking our annual trip to King's Dominion.
Victory Jam is a camp/conference for middle school students. It is located in Harvey Cedars, NJ. The dates for it are June 21st-25th. It is for students entering the 7th grade through students entering 9th grade. Cost will be ~$215 (last year's cost). We have attended this event the last two years and it is a blast.
For the high school, I would like to plan a trip to the RYM (Reformed Youth Ministries) Conference in Panama City Beach, FL. RYM is a ministry to middle and high school students. They hold conferences all over the country during the summer with strong teaching and a great environment for fellowship and growth. This trip will be a long one, as PCB is a two-day trip. The conference itself is July 12-17, with us leaving on the 11th and returning on the 18th (likely). The cost will be around $500, with conference costs being $335 and additional hotel/fuel costs rounding out the difference. Though this is a lot, this is the kind of trip that students remember for a lifetime. This trip would be for students entering 9th grade through recent graduates. Before we decide to go, I need to get an idea of the interest in the group. If you are interested, please let me know no later than February 14th. For more info, click here.
King's Fest is a concert at King's Dominion that we have attended the previous 2 years. It is an all-day event with amusement park all day and concert into the night. The dates for this event are July 8-10; we will pick one of these days. The cost will be around $60, plus the cost of food and amusement park trinketry.
As always, please call with questions.

Sunday School Update
I want to remind you of our upcoming Sunday School schedule, as it is different than what we normally do.
1/24 - No Sunday School for 6th grade and up; We will be having a congregation meeting.
1/31 - No Sunday School. There will be a presentation by the Living Hope2Orphans Ministry in our church.
2/7 - No Sunday School. There will be a presentation by Pastor Bob Boidock concerning his time and ministry in Iraq.
2/14 - Return to regularly scheduled programming.
For middle school Sunday School, following the break we will start a series on the book of Judges. After polling the class as to what they want to learn about, they consensus was a book of the Old Testament, many even specifically mentioning Judges. The last few weeks we have been looking at Genesis 3 and other selected passages to gain a greater understanding of the concept of redemptive history and what God's plan looks like throughout biblical history and into the present day. Judges is a great book for showing us the ups and downs in the history of God's people, all the while showing us that there is a central motif to stories, and that is redemption found in Jesus Christ.
I am looking forward to beginning a new year with your children and if you have questions about the Sunday school program or anything I teach, please don't hesitate to ask. As always, you are invited to sit in on our class time as well.
