We had originally scheduled a Medina information meeting for tomorrow at 5:00 but we will need to reschedule for next Wednesday, May the 8th at 5:00 in the teen center.
Again, the new time for the Medina Informational meeting that, if you can, would be a really good idea for all teenagers and parents to attend, will be Wednesday, May 8th at Woodmont in the Teen Center at 5:00 pm.
We’ve been using YapTap for a little over a year now as one of our modes of communication with those involved in our ministry. When we first signed up, it was primarily a group-texting service, but it has been quickly expanding and evolving ever since.
Though YapTap is not our primary method of communication (This blog is!), it’s a helpful tool to receive quick updates from the WoodmontYG team. Now that summer is approaching, this will come in handy even more.
So, here are a few ways to get connected if you aren’t already:
Things to know: Our “community code” is “WoodmontYG,” and anywhere it says “FirstName LastName” in those instructions, it means to put your name in there. Don’t just leave it as “FirstName LastName.”
If you have any trouble, just let us know and we should be able to help you get set up.
Don’t forget, you can also connect with us through Twitter and Facebook.
Attention 
7th-12th graders!
Starting today, you can reserve your spot for Nashville Workcamp 2013 by making a $20 non-refundable deposit. Please write a check with the student’s name and “Workcamp” in the memo line and drop it in one of the black mailboxes.
Once you make your deposit, you will be guaranteed a spot at Workcamp this summer (June 2-7). Once we receive the forms for this year, we will contact those who have reserved a spot to let them know when those will be due (sometime in mid-April). The $20 will be deducted from the total payment which will be due by May 5th (estimated $130 total).
If you don’t make a deposit, we won’t know that you’re planning to go and won’t be able to promise you a spot. So, if you plan to attend Workcamp this summer, please reserve your spot ASAP!
Mark your calendars for the first annual RESOLUTION to be held on January 27th at 5:00pm in the Great Hall.
RESOLUTION is a time for families to come hear about WoodmontYG’s goals, hopes, and dreams for 2013. We’ll be announcing all our summer events as well, so everyone will want to be present for that. Both parents and students are encouraged to attend.
Pizza will be provided.
Hope you can make it!
Listen up, bro-chachos.
This is the week of Guys’ Retreat Dudefest.
Many of you have manned-up for Dudefest already, but it seems that there are several delicate flowers out there who aren’t sure how much they dig havin’ stellar hangs chillin’ with their dude-bros. If that’s you, then, GET IT TOGETHER, BRO.
If you know what’s good for ya, then you’ll get yourself signed-up for the best weekend of your life by this Wednesday. If you don’t know what’s good for you, then some combination of the three men below will be happy to teach you. #MANSTUFF
So get those forms in, PRONTO, because the last thing you want in this man’s life is to miss out on Dudefest.
OTHER IMPORTANT STUFF:
But, do yourself a favor and remember that we’re gonna be outside a lot (because we’re men). In other words, BRING A JACKET AND STUFF, BRO.
POND!
That’s pretty much it, so PARTY ON!
Let us know if you have any questions.
There will not be any youth classes this Wednesday (tomorrow) or Sunday (the 25th) due to the Thanksgiving holiday.
However, our annual Y.E.S. Christmas Store “Change for Children” drive will be starting the 25th, so please bring your piggy banks if you’re going to be at church!
If you’re travelling, no problem, Change for Children will last through December 9th.
Don’t forget to read ahead! We’ll be in Chapter Ten: Standing Tall, Falling Hard this week.
I feel like I need to start each Flag Football announcment with an apology because I hate how late I’m getting you this information. I promise, I’m giving it as soon as its being confirmed to me.
The Guys will play at 2:30
The Girls are playing at 3:30
This is our last regular season game.
9-12 Grade Girls
Your invited to The Weeks’ home this Sunday at 5 to help with an amazing charity that blesses people from around the world who may not experience Christmas the same way we do.
Our Flag Football games will be over by 4:30 so if you would like to carpool or snag a ride from the games Mrs. Stacy has offered to do that.
If you’d like to be part of this project providing a special Christmas gift box to an underprivileged child, we invite you to bring a sturdy shoe box (cardboard or plastic) and an assortment of small toys, trinkets, school supplies, etc. that would be appropriate. You may also add candies and gum, but no chocolate please, as it may melt. Also, bring a note card or Christmas card to be included in your box. You can write a blessing for the child who will receive your box. Lastly, please bring $5 for shipping and, after your gift box is finished, why not say a little prayer for the child who will be thrilled to receive it!
Middle and High School classes will be combined this Sunday for a special Harvest Sunday youth class!
We will gather in the youth room in the basement level of the East Hall at 9am to celebrate the harvest. There will be worship, a message from the story of Ruth, and donuts!
Also…
Middle school students and Lifeguards (6th-8th), don’t forget to join us for an hour or so after second service on Sunday to help organize and sort the bags of donated groceries from Harvest Sunday. A delicious and nutritious lunch of pizza will be provided for those able to serve!
Hope you’re able to stick around!
Decided by non-biased judges whose very identity is shrouded in secrecy, this year’s WoodmontYG Trunk-or-Treat winners are….
THE 7TH GRADE – Hunger Games! Congratulations 7th grade you will be going bowling on us!
And the winners of the High School division and recipients of a 2 hour Jump SkyHigh party are… The Seniors – Noah’s Ark!
To everyone else, you should be so proud of yourselves. The trunks were awesome and I got so many pictures of so many children having a great time, which is what this all was really about.
There is a very special announcement coming this Sunday. I’m not going to tell you what it is. But I’ll give a hint that will never give it away; it starts with a “B” and has everything to do with this video.
