LUMY 7/13

Wow! Thank you to those of you who are supporting this trip financially and prayerfully. On July 17th, we will be going out to a group of orphans to teach them about the love that our Lord has for them! We ask again that you will partner with us in prayer by picking up a box on the coffee tables or at the front desk.

We wanted to let you know where we are financially for this trip. Each team member has paid out of pocket and we are still in need of just a little more money. We have it figured out that if each person in our church would support us with $5.00 we would have just enough to go. Thank you for partnering with us on this mission as we have had so many people donate and make goods to bring to these people. We rejoice that God has given different people abilities that speak into the lives of people across the world, even if they are not going on this trip themselves. As Jesus commanded his disciples to go out and make disciples of all nations, we are so pleased that we are able to carry out his commandments. We thank God that our church gives us as youth the opportunity to not just reach the people locally, through Dirt Team, the food kitchen, Faithworks, but to also go where others may not be able to!! What a blessing to serve in other countries as well as our own!

Come out to LUMY tonight Sunday, July 13th, and don’t miss the After Party. Every LUMY and After Party we’ve had thus far this summer has been AMAZING. So you don’t want to miss tonight’s. LUMY is from 6-7 in the FLC/Wesley Hall for students going into 7th Grade thru recent Grads. And the After Party is 7-9pm. After LUMY finishes at 7pm we will be heading to an After Party at Rick and Kristen DeHart’s house (parents of Ben and Tucker DeHart). They live at 1542 Canterbury Lane, Liberty, MO, 64068. Their home number 816-781-7667. We will take the Yellow Bus there and back. We will leave to head back to the church about 9pm. Please be at the church to pick up your student by 9:15ish. At the DeHarts’ there will be swimming available, so bring your swimsuit and towel if you’d like to swim. There is other stuff to do besides swim, so come even if you don’t want to swim. Appropriate swimwear is required (girls- 1-piece or tank-ini). Bring a friend or two; don’t they deserve some summer fun? Let us know if you have any questions.

This summer we are having two different studies in addition to Sunday Night LUMY. One will be for students going into 9th-11th grade and the other will be for the new Seniors and recent Grads. Since the meetings are at our house, we need an additional permission slip filled out. You can pick up one of the permission slips at LUMY or from our office (rm 206) at church.
9th-11th-Graders- We are doing a study on Christianity and World Religions. We meet Monday mornings at 9:00am at the Beards’ home (my house, 40 S. Jewell) on 7/14, 7/28, 8/4. Basically every other Monday. Even if you missed the first few weeks, please come the next time we meet on 7/14.
12th-13th-Graders- We are doing a study on Prayer called When God’s People Pray. We meet Wednesday mornings at the Beards’ home (my house again, 40 S. Jewell) on 7/16, 7/30, 8/6. Basically every other Wednesday.
