Eastview Parent Weekly, June 7-13, 2009

Dear Parents,

This website will be the main source of information over the next few months. I’ll make every effort to update that website by Tuesdays through the summer.

“Change is Coming”:
  • Our ministry team met this weekend, and has decided to pursue splitting our youth group. This was a unanimous decision by the 10 people in attendance. While the final decision will be made at our July ministry team meeting, our senior high youth group will meet on Sunday evenings from 6-8pm, and our middle school youth group will continue to meet on Wednesday nights, from 6:30-8pm. There are a few details that remain to be nailed down, and we’ll be meeting in July and at our ministry team retreat in August to finalize those details.
  • We are still taking questions and concerns about this. Please direct them to me.

Upcoming Dates

June 10 (this Wednesday) is “Celebration”, our final youth group night for the year. We’ll be meeting at the home of Betty Dickerson, one of our youth leaders, in Alburnett. There will be a caravan leaving Eastview promptly at 5:30pm and we’ll be back at Eastview by 8:30pm. Guys-bring chips and snacks, gals-bring a salad or dessert.
