SLYM News 2-23-10

It's SLYM for middle school (grades 5-8) this Thursday (2/25) from 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm at the Gustavus Adolphus Learning Center, 200 Gustavus Ave.

You can use the gym or hang out playing board games during the first hour. We'll do a Bible study about about a time Jesus crossed borders to minister to a woman in need during the second hour.

Bring a friend--and make some new ones--this week at SLYM!

Also--SLYM is raising funds for ELCA Disaster Relief and serving our local community this Friday, 2/26 from 6 pm - 9:30 pm. This activity is for both the middle school and high school groups.

At 6 pm, we'll meet at Community Helping Hands for a service project. Then we'll walk to Joint Neighborhood Project for our second service project. Finally, we'll walk to First Lutheran to learn about ELCA Disaster Relief and eat a simple porridge meal together in allegiance with the many Haitian citizens that are displaced and living in tent towns.

We ask that each participant collect at least $10 in donations for ELCA Disaster Relief Services. It's important that we have a head count of everyone who is going to participate, so we can plan the best service projects possible, so call Tara Eastman at 969-3950 if you plan on coming!

Next week, High School SLYM is Thursday, March 4. In "No Greater Love" we'll learn about how to help people with God's love.

There are many opportunities to grow spiritually, have fun, and share the love of Jesus this week. Hope to see you at SLYM!

Peace,

IAN
