Medina Applications

As we mentioned in the meeting Wednesday night, we have moved the application deadline for the Medina Mission trip to this Tuesday, May 14th. This change was made because Southwest Airlines requires us to have every passengers name and date of birth for us to be able to purchase them a ticket, and they do not allow transfers, and our last day to turn in names is May 15th. 

Let me stress that this is when the application is due. We will not need final payment until June 15th, but we must have your application in by May 14th!

Medina Application Deadline

Though we have had Medina applications available for some time, we had not actually set a deadline for them, until now. The deadline is now May 19th. You can download applications here http://woodmontyg.com/forms/

Pancake Breakfast is this Sunday!

Show up at 9:00 because we’re going to briefly meet in Lifegroups

Guys should bring this (It’s a carton of Orange Juice)

Girls should bring this (It’s a gallon of Milk)

Free Parenting Class

Hey all you parents out there. Tonight and next week at Brentwood United Methodist Church there are free classes from two widely respected childhood experts. Tonight is “Wild Things – The Art of Nurturing Boys” by David Thomas, L.M.S.W. who co-authored a book by the same name. Next Wednesday is “Raising Girls” taught by Sissy Goff, M.Ed., LPC-MHSP who has authored a book by the same name and Growing Up Without Getting Lost. Both events are free and should be highly educational for parents of boys and girls. 

Medina Application Form

Ok Gang, 

If you go to the “Forms” section of the website you can now download and turn in an application for this year’s trip to Medina, TX and Arms of Hope. This trip is open to anyone grades 9-12 (remember we promote students at the end of summer so that is all people who have completed 9th through 12th grade) and you can officially save your spot by turning in the application to the black mail box along with a $100 deposit. The deposit will not pay for the entire trip and we will reveal the total cost once we have a clearer picture of the number of people going and how well we do at the pancake breakfast fundraiser. But, as always, if money is an issue please let me (David) know because we have scholarships available and money will never be a reason why a student does not get to participate at anything at WoodmontYG.

However, this year we are also requiring five (5) hours of service that must be done at Woodmont to qualify for this trip. If you have already logged some hours (must be done between August 2012 – June 2013) be sure to mark them down on your application. 

Did I mention we are flying this year?!

Sweetheart Success!

All I can say is “Wow!”

Someone, who will remain nameless, that has been going to Woodmont for sometime now, said tonight was the best thing they have ever been to at Woodmont!

You guys were absolutely unbelievable tonight in sharing your enthusiasm, service, talents, and, as always, dance moves. Thank you for being the coolest group of teenagers in the world! I just can’t believe how lucky I am to work with this group of young men and women. I’m proud of you, I’m inspired by you, and I love.

Peace
Dave

Soup-er Bowl Party

This Sunday is the Soup-er Bowl Party! We have changed location and instead of the youth room we’re going to be watching the game on the big screens in The Great Hall! Boo Yah!

The cost is free. All you have to bring for admittance is 5 cans of soup (because it’s the Soup-er Bowl Party… do you see what I did there?) that will help us kick off our Food Drive leading up to the Whitsitt Easter Egg Hunt. 

Hope you’re able to make it. We’ll have lots of pizza to eat and if you want to add to the food, that’d be great too. Guys bring desserts/snackie snacks, and Gals bring drinks.
