Sons and Daughters Update

Well, I will explain here some changes concerning the Sons and Daughters Conference and other information that you and/or your parents might like to know. Most of the following information is from the Sons and Daughters site.

Price:
They have dropped registration price from $30 to $25 per person, so parents who have already payed will be receiving a $5 refund per joven registered.

Location:
Benson High School auditorium
546 NE 12th Avenue
Portland, Oregon

Schedule:

Friday, June 23rd

• 6:00-6:45 pm - Registration
• 7:00 pm - First session

Saturday, June 24th

• 10:00 am - 12:30 pm - Morning session
• 12:30 - Lunch break
• 2:00-5:00 pm - Afternoon session
• 5:00 pm - Dinner break
• 7:00 pm - Evening session

So that's all I have as far as information goes right now. EVERYBODY that is going to attend the conference needs to be registered and payed for by this Sunday, May 28th. We will be registering as a group next week in order to secure our seats and make hotel reservations. If you have any issues, talk to Dahlia, Nessy, or the pastor.

Happy anniversary to our pastors! Tata, everyone!

Las mañanitas que cantaba el rey David ...

Yes, we will be serenading the mothers of the church, so get your pencil and paper and write this down: Saturday, May 13th (that's THIS Saturday) at 9:00 PM. Meet at the church! Got it? Okay! I hope everyone can make it! Come ready for cold weather and LOTS of singing! We want to give our moms the best this year, right? May God bless you all!

Moving up the Thermometer

Today is May 1st. Maybe a bunch of you out there are boycotting? I am.

But, anyway, REVIVE youth group's fundraising is now a couple bucks over $400. We need to keep at it; who knows - maybe we'll earn so much money that we can pass some money around to the parents for a discount. I'm sure they would appreciate that. But right now we're focusing on making it to our $500 goal.

Which reminds me that, if you are going to attend the Sons and Daughters conference on June 23rd and 24th, you need to sign up with Dahlia and pay $30 as soon as possible. I think the pastor said he would like everyone signed up and paid for by this Friday, May 5th.

Also, don't forget to turn in your letter of intent stating in about 100 words why you want to attend the conference. And feel free to invite friends, but remember that they need to get $30 in to Dahlia by Friday, also.

I encourage everyone to attend the conference. It should be a blessing to us all. Don't let the price be an issue, either; if you think it is, just talk to Dahlia, and we'll work something out.

Thank you for visiting the site, and (of course) keep checking back here! Que Dios les bendiga.
