(check the event details or Kristen’s update for specifics).

Next week is the River Float and the following week is The Houseboating Trip. All Sr High youth are invited to join our youth group and two other’s from Southern California as we spend an action filled week together. We’ll start out Saturday night, July 24th with a BBQ at Bethel, spend the night at church, worship outside in the morning, and then head to Lake Don Pedro for 5 days of houseboating, wake boarding, fishing, eating, studying, hanging out FUN! The trip will conclude Friday afternoon, July 30th. The total cost for the trip is $350 and the money is due by Wednesday, July 21st.

We are giving YOU the opportunity to help decide what we will do on wednesday the 7th. Here are your options:

A day of biking around Angel Island, you would need to bring $25 for gas and the ferry to and from the island, a sack lunch, plus money for snacks and this is byob so… bring your own bike obivously we would haul them there in Tom’s trailer.

Or horseback riding on Ocean Beach near San Franscisco the cost would be $45, bring a sack lunch and money for snacks (the horse is provided).

Vote for what you want to do in the comments section below, voting will close tomorrow at 9:00pm.

The choice is in your hands.

Be there or be square,
