Middle School Mission Deadline

Now that we have our results from the Pancake Breakfast fundraiser, I am pleased to announce an official deadline and price for our Middle School Mission trip to Albany, Georgia.

Applications will be due by May 19th along with a $100 deposit.*

The total cost of the trip will be $230 total (or $130 after the deposit). The incredible support shown at the Pancake Breakfast lowered the cost by $70 a person!

The full total will be due by June 23rd, and students are encouraged to raise money by writing letters to people that do not attend church at Woodmont (as to avoid overwhelming the same group of people with requests) or by any other means necessary, if they so choose.

All middle school students, 6th-8th grade, are encouraged to apply. If you’d like to know more about the nature of the trip, you can learn more here.

 

*If, for some reason, there is not room for a student, or they are not selected as a member of the team, this deposit will be refunded after May 19th.

About: Middle School Mission Albany

Hey families with middle school students!

I’m sure you’ve been wondering more about the Middle School Mission Trip to Albany, Georgia, and I just received a great resource for you!

My friend, Tommy Johnson, youth minister at Westwood Church in Albany was kind enough to write a letter detailing what the week was like for his group last year. We will be teaming up with the Westwood group not only during this week, but also during Jr. IMPACT as we did last summer.

So, if you’re interested in learning more about the trip, check it out here: Mission Change Letter 2013.

We are currently accepting applications for the trip, and you can find out more about that here: Apply for the Middle School Mission Trip.

Apply for the Middle School Mission Trip!

We are now officially accepting applications for the Middle School Mission Trip to Albany, Georgia!

The application can be found here: Mission Albany 2013 Application

You can apply 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 (Jesse) 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.*

We are also requiring five (5) hours of service that must be done  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 the Albany Service Hours Form.

If you have any questions, feel free to email me. I’ll be happy to help!

*Space for this trip is limited, so if a student is not selected, this deposit will be refunded.

6th Grade Spring Classes

Hey 6th graders!

As many of you have already heard, we will beginning the annual 6th grade spring classes in a few weeks, so I wanted to post some details about it for you!

First of all, we will still be meeting in The Bridge for the first half hour or so for our time together with The Story, but then, instead of going to the 6th grade LifeGroup, 6th grade will split into the Promise (girls) and Knights of the Cross (guys) classes. Therefore, these classes will get started around 9:40am each Sunday and will probably run into second service. The reason being that we still wanted the 6th grade to be involved in The Story with the rest of the church through the end of the series while also giving this incredible opportunity for focused teaching with parents and mentors.

All that being said, here are the schedules for the two classes:

Promise (Contact Dawn Gray or Nancy Osman with any questions)

Wednesday, February 26 – Class Kick-off for Mothers/Daughters: 6:30-7:30
Sunday March 10, 17, 24 – Girls only
Sunday March 31 – Easter- no class
Sunday April 7 – Daddy/Daughter class
Sunday April, 14, 21, 28, May 5 – Mother/Daughter Class
Sunday May 12 – Mothers Day- no class
Sunday May 19 – Promise Closing Ceremony at 10:30am

Knights of the Cross (contact Jared Bowlin or David Gnewikow with any questions)

March 3 – Class for Fathers/Mentors only. No young men.
March 10, 17, 24 – Class for Fathers and Sons
March 31 – No class, Easter
April 7, 14, 21 – Class for Fathers and Sons
April 28, May 5 – Class for young men only – no Dad’s allowed
May 12 – Mother’s Day, no class
May 19 – Graduation, Knighting Ceremony after 2nd service

Pure Obsession: Middle School Girls’ Night

Attention 6th-8th grade girls!

On March 3rd, you’re invited to attend “Pure Obsession: Discovering the truth of God’s beauty in us” with some of our female LifeGuards.

As you can see above, the cost is only $5, and middle school girls and youth workers will be joining from across the city for “a night full of fun, inspiration, Pinterest projects, and most importantly, the encouraging, life-giving Word of God.”

Students from Lipscomb will be speaking and facilitating break-out sessions that are fun, up to date, and relevant to our world today.

A light dinner and a bag full of treats to take home are included in the $5 cost.

You can either meet up with our LifeGuards at church to carpool at 4:15pm, or plan to meet them there (if you live closer to Tusculum). Be sure to include your plans in your RSVP.

Speaking of RSVPs, please let us know you plan to attend by emailing jbaker@woodmont.org by Wednesday, February 27th at the latest.

Hope you can make it!
