Re: Mt. TOP in less than a week! can you believe it!

Hey everyone sorry for the missing couple days. We have had a great two days of projects and day camp. Our service project people completed two-day projects on Wednesday and did one day projects today. The past two days, the day campers went stream hopping and caught crawdads with a ranger, visited an equestrian therapy ministry, did mini service projects, made s'mores, and spent a lot of time serving with the kids of Grundy county. 

At camp we have had really great worship services, great food, and a whole lot of fun.

On Friday we are headed out for half-day projects and YRG celebrations in the afternoon. 

We can't wait to tell you all about what God is doing up here on the mountain. 

Grace and peace, 

Phil Brown

Hey everyone, 

We leave for Mt. TOP next Sunday! Be to church by 9:00am having eaten breakfast. We will stop for lunch on the way up as well. 

Before we leave: 

1. Please make sure you have read the attached participation packet.  You have gotten it already in emails and at the meeting. 

2. Also make sure to read the attached information page, which you have also recieved. It has a packing list on it. 

3. Make sure you have your St. Luke's bag, that is your bag, your only bag (besides your backpack). 

4. One activity at camp will be optional tie dye. If you'd like to participate please bring clothing you'd like to tie dye.

While we are there :
1. I will try my best to send out updates via email, I will email this list. If there is another email address where you'd like to receive updates please let Phil know before we go. I will also update the youth blog here with the emails.

2. My Cell phone is 970-215-9041, call anytime. If its an emergency during the day, the best place to start is by calling Mt. TOP directly, they will know exactly how to get a hold of particular people during the day. their number is: (931) 692-3999 ext. 102 and 103

When we get back on Saturday: 

1. We will return around 1:30PM. We will have vans to unpack and sweep out, tools to redistribute, coolers to clean, and bins to unpack before we are ready to go home. Please stay to help get us all cleaned up before you head home. 

2. If anyone has an extra shop vac and extension cord to bring for pick up that will make the clean up process much faster. We can use 3-4. 

I am really excited for another year at Mountain TOP. Please let me know if you have any questions. 

Grace and Peace, 

Phil Brown

Bring a pitch fork and wheel barrow if you have one. Parents let Phil know if you have any of these tools that we can us as well. Lunch will be provided. (Let phil know if you are coming to help so that we can order the right amount of food.) 

 

Chastain @ St. Luke's, go home get get your family together for a great evening of music at St. Luke's. Some of our youth are performing and it’s a great church-wide event.
