Announcements

All Student Year-End Picnic: All students currently in the sixth through twelfth grades are encouraged to come to the Student Ministry Year-End Picnic THIS Sunday, June 1st from 6:00-7:30 PM on the field behind the church. We’ll be grilling out, playing ultimate Frisbee and softball (bring your own softball equipment!). Please bring the following:

6th Graders – A friend.
7th-12th Graders born January-March: A hunk of water (bottles?) or a chilled 2-litre of beverage.
7th-12th Graders born April – June: Salty snack or side dish.
7th -12th Graders born July-September: Dessert type food.
Don’t overdo it… we’ll have lots of food. In case of rain, we’ll be inside. Please park, pick-up, and drop-off in the church parking lot. The old Humbert house has been rented. If you’d like, you may bring a lawn chair or blanket.

Will You Help with Children’s Sunday School?: The Children’s Ministry is looking for students to assist in teaching children’s Sunday school. If you love Jesus and enjoy working with children, you should consider this great way to minister before or after you attend worship. For more information, contact Diane Mendelson (dmendelson@indian-run.org).

Attention 10-12 Graders – Retreat just for you: One of the coolest retreat experiences I’ve ever had is now available to you. A group of great people is offering this retreat, called Chrysalis, to older high schoolers from across Columbus. Much like the adult Emmaus Walk, this will be three day that I am confident God will use to touch your heart. The girls retreat is June 21-23. The boys retreat is July 26-28. Cost is just $65. Grab a friend and go! Registration information is at http://www.chrysaliscares.org/registration.htm. I will happily sponsor you. Just be sure I know you are wanting to go! You need to register before school is out to save your spot!

9th Grader Move-up Party Date Change: To enable more of you to come, we’ve moved the rising 9th grader party (that’s you, current 8th graders) to Thursday, June 5th from 7-9 PM. Don’t miss it!
