2009 Will Be Mighty Fine!!

Ok, there I go again with a corny saying. If you have read your most recent newsletter you have read my let your light shine in 2009 also, which is also pretty corny. But whats the point in celebrating a new beginning to a year if you cant be just a slight bit corny?? Anyhow, we have many fun and exciting things coming up in 2009! We have retreats, ski trip, mission trips, and we are working on a few other things for this year! As you have read in the Youth Newsletter if you are going on the Mission Trips either the Mid High or Senior High I need to have your youth covenant and a $50 deposit by February 1st so that you will have a spot on the trip! Also, we have the CCYM Winter Retreat for Senior High which is February 13th-15th as well as the R.O.C. (Rythm of Christ) Retreat for the Mid High which is March 6th-8th. Both of these retreats are $100 for the weekend, for CCYM I need a $30 deposit and a form that you can get from me signed and back to me by January 21st which is a Wednesday so that we can get the $1oo rate. I haven't gotten any information yet on R.O.C. but I am guessing we will have to have the forms turned in around February 18th we a deposit of $30. On both of these trips make your checks payable to FUMC Artesia and then from there we will send in one check for the whole group. You may pay the deposit and final payment seperate and or all at once, either works for me. One other trip we have coming up is our Annual Ski Weekend up in Ruidoso! I am leaning towards the weekend of February 6th-8th but will not have a finalized date until I get with the owners of the cabins we usually stay in. The cost of that trip will be $25 base cost plus your ski/board rental, lift ticket, and a couple of meals. Ski rentals are usually around $25 and if we get some good snow between now and then the lift tickets will be around $50. If you are interested in going, please let me know ASAP so that we can make sure to have plenty of room! Well, I hope that you all had a wonderful 08 and I know that 09 will be just as great!!

blessings,
