Also, for you Western States Youth Gathering fans, we’re having our last meeting the same night at 5:30pm in the air conditioned Fireside Room. You’ll get a run down on the actual event, plus find out how much money you still owe. Please try and make ti

Once again, sunday the 22nd is our SENIOR RECOGNITION BRUNCH. For those of you unaware, this is where all non-seniors (this means you) cook us breakfast to show us your love for us. If you are not as fond of us, come and cook your heart out anyway. Your meal can symbolize your distain for us. And for those of you wishing to remain Switzerland (neutral), your fantastic cooking abilities will symbolize neither good, nor bad. There is no excuse for not showing up at 9 am sharp in the kitchen, ready to rock some breakfast.
Wednesday the 25, we will be grabbing some sandwiches and then raiding the Biehl residence. By this I mean we will be having a rockin discussion reminiscing and talking about the future. Meet at church at 5:30.
Finally, Friday the 27th is a MANDATORY work weekend for common ground. The cost for the weekend is $25. Meet friday night at 7:15. We will be departing at 4pm the following saturday.
Hope to see everybody soon,
love

Wednesday, May 11th and then some
May 10th, 2011, 5:30 PMHey everybody, direct your attention towards me,
Wednesday the 11th we will be skadadling our way to Psycho Donuts (and other locations in that area) and then returning to church to have our very last “Dr. Phil, Jesus or Me” discussion. 
I know, but you should savor this time with Bethel because it won’t last forever. We will be meeting in the youth room at 530 in the pm.
Too ALL COMMON GROUNDERS: We need EVERYBODY (who? everybody) to be at church on May the 15th to sing for the congregation. We will be meeting in the Music and Ed room at 10 am sharp. Being late earns you demerit points.
And finally, and possible most importantly, the senior recognition brunch is may 22nd at 9 in the am. All non-seniors are required to attend/make me breakfast. Not showing up means that you will not get to take part in this breakfast when you are a senior. (That last part was false but I will be keeping track of all non-seniors who do not attend)
Hope to see everybody soon,
Love
Jeff and Jackie
