I will be out of town – in Rancho Mirage – from May 29 – June 6. If you need me, text me or call me, but I will only be checking in once a day. If you have an emergency, call the church at 619.466.4163. Go ahead and leave me a message if it isn’t urgent but is very important.

A few things you might like to know:

Tyler, Bret, and Scott will be running youth group on Sunday.
Susan Taylor will be presenting Bread for Life during the 5pm. hour.
Youth group is still at 4pm. and 5pm. this week.
Youth group is at 5pm. for everyone for the rest of the summer after that.

See you all on the 7th!

Tyler Williams has been hired as our new Summer Youth Intern. His first day will be Sunday, so be there and be good! Don’t give him any trouble.

I know that not everyone has a cell phone, but to those of you who do: Thank you for texting. It is currently my preferred mode of communication. If I am feeding my daughter lunch, I may not be able to answer the phone, but I will be able to pop off a text reply. There are countless instances where texting has proved to be the fastest way of reaching me and receiving an answer to a question.

If you need to call me, feel free, but to those of you who text: thank you very much.

Two fathers. A school shooting.
Eight years later, how do we forgive and heal?
Good Boys is the story of two men, one black one white, who meet eight years after a school shooting in which both their sons died, one a victim the other the shooter. As the fathers search for understanding and viciously cast blame, they confront difficult questions about vengeance and responsibility. Is it possible to heal?

Our youth group will be attending this play on Sunday, May 24, 2009 at 1:30 p.m. (meet at the church). I am looking for a couple adults to attend and drive – your tickets will be paid for. Each ticket will be $12. If you need a scholarship, please use this form: Scholarship Form. Due to the language used in this play, a supplemental permission form will be required.

This upcoming Sunday, we will be participating in a dodgeball tournament at San Carlos UMC. The cost is $10. I currently have six people signed up, but have RSVP’d for two teams – twelve people.

Our campership/scholarship form is now available on the web. I have not received any scholarship forms for summer camp. If you need a scholarship, fill out the form ASAP, but only after you have filled out a district form.
