LYO WInter Weekend

Mark the date on your calendars

March 6-8, 2009 for the LYO Winter Weekend.

Pastor Justin Johnson from St. Timothy's in Geneseo is working with a group on the planning - any questions, contact him at sttimpastor@yahoo.com

The theme this year called “Living Life in a Pressure Cooker.” The weekend will be focused on stresses of the world, in school, and at home. The message that will be lifted up is that we are not alone in our struggles, but have Christ with us always.

This from PJ:
More than likely the cost of Winter Weekend will be going up by $10 from $65 to $75. I know many of you are planning your budgets right now and I wanted to be up front about this, so congregations can plan accordingly. The reason for this increase is that Rush Sunshine camp raised the price per person per night by $3. This means an increase of $6 per person for the weekend. The extra $4 is to cover the rising cost of food. With that written, think about this increase and what you still get with it. Namely, a two night stay at camp, a dance, fellowship, all meals, and a tee shirt to take home. A one-night stay at a hotel is $120 without any of the rest. So, it is an increase, but not a huge increase.

There is also good news though. It looks as if we have found a new musician to replace Jason Tucker, who also chose to not return as he is looking forward to ordained ministry. We continue to have a strong team who has been working hard on the Winter Weekend program with many of the people on the team who are Winter Weekend planning team veterans. We also continue to have a strong relationship with the Rush Sunshine Camp; the DJ used in the past, and many of the staff members in the kitchen.
