Youth EYC
The Teen Sunday School (EYC) planning meeting was a great success. It was held at Lou Harry’s swimming pool. Those attending were Josh Maddox, Michael Davis, Rebecca Walden, and Kathryn Bailey. The EYC will continue to hold Sunday School meetings by the pool now through the summer months while everyone learns about the Church. All teens from 13 through high school may come and bring friends. The time each Sunday is about 12:30 (following church and fellowship coffee).
Vacation Bible School
Vacation Bible School is June 16 through 20 from 8:30 to noon. The theme this year is “Faces of Jesus”. There is a sign up sheet in the parish hall for helpers during this week. Please volunteer for a specific activity or a specific day, or even for the whole week. We need at least four adults at St. Michael’s each day during the morning. We will also need a lot of drinks and food too.
Youth Confirmation Class
June 16 through 20 in the afternoon will be a Youth Confirmation Class lead by Fr. Tom. Bishop Duncan will not be at St. Michael’s until December to confirm, but it seems during the school year there are just too many school activities and too much homework for many of the youth to participate in a Confirmation Class.
There will be an Area Wide Confirmation for all who missed being confirmed at their church when the Bishop came this past year. This Area Wide Confirmation is being held at The Episcopal Church of the Nativity, Dothan on Saturday, June 21. This is the day after the Youth Confirmation Class ends, so possibly some of the youth will want to take advantage of this and get confirmed this summer. It is close enough we can all go for their confirmation too. They can also wait until Bishop Duncan comes to confirm at St. Michaels’ in December 2008.
50th Anniversary T-shirts
We still have many 50th Anniversary T-shirts. These would make great gifts. They are on display at the Gift Shop, but they are being sold by the church. These T-shirts have Ruth Rosentrater's original drawing of our St. Michael's statue. We have both children and adult sizes in the T-shirts.
