RELAY FOR LIFE at Twin Valley High School

Hey Kids! We will be walking as a team in the Relay for Life event at Twin Valley High School from Friday, June 19th through Saturday, June 20th, to help find a cure for cancer. Our group will be walking in memory of Ronald Phillips, who was taken too early by Leukemia. If you haven't signed up for the Relay for Life team, we need you to do it by our meeting June 9, so that we can purchase our team tee shirts and plan how many are going to stay all night, or just come during the times they can walk the track, etc. If you didn't receive the permission slip or papers, please call a leader ASAP. Our purpose is to raise money for cancer research and here is the insert that has been in our church bulletin that explains how people can help us:

The Jr. High Youth Group will be walking as a team in the Twin Valley Relay for Life.
Relay for Life is a 24-hour event in which team members walk on a track in relay fashion for 24 hours to raise money to fight cancer. The event will start at noon Friday, June 19th and end at noon, Saturday, June 20th.

Would you please consider sponsoring our youth in one of three ways:

1) Each student is required to pay a $10.00
registration fee to walk. Some of our youth need
assistance in paying this fee. If you would like to
help with this, please see Shelly, Walt or Glady.

2) Each student is asked to get donations for walking. WE WILL WALK FOR YOU! We will walk in memory or in honor of your loved one. As a team we will be wearing matching shirts; when you donate we will put your loved ones name on our shirt.

3) Please keep us in your prayers as we represent
the Forks of the Brandywine EPC in this community fundraiser for the American Cancer Society.

TUE. JUNE 9 - FATHER'S DAY GIFT NIGHT

SHHHH.... It's a secret what you will be making for your Dad's... just in case he may be checking out our blog.... but you won't want to miss the opportunity to make this special gift him! If you cannot make it to the meeting, call a leader and let us know so that we can save you the kit and you can make your Dad his gift on your own!

TUES., JUNE 23 HIBERNIA PARK FISHING & PICNIC NIGHT

"FOR OUR FISHERS" GET YOUR FISHING POLES, TACKLE & BAIT READY..... Tuesday night the youth group will be meeting at the church (please arrive before or no later than 5:30), as we will be carpooling to Hibernia Park for a night of fishing (games for those who don't want to fish) and a picnic dinner.
