Two Very Important Deadlines This Month!

As the holiday season approaches, well all get busy with the hustle and bustle. We want to remind you that theres two
important deadlines to sign up for two big events we dont want you to miss. First is Evangelism University, the yearly
youth rally we attend in Savannah. Its January 16-18, 2015, costs only $40, and you must sign up on the youth board by
December 17 if you want to go.
The second is Challenge Youth Conference in Pigeon Forge, and that event is February 27-March 1, 2015. You MUST fill
out a form (just like Advance and Camp) if you want to go to this event. December 21 is the deadline to sign up to go, and
because of refunds and cabin rentals, there is no backing out of this event past December 21.
We know that the Christmas holiday is straining on budgets, so we are postponing the fees for both events until January.
But we still need you to sign up for the events! Should you have any questions, please see Chad.

Find info for CYC

on the Youth
Board and in the
racks by Chads
office.
Sign up for EU on
the Youth Board.
We look forward
to seeing you at
both events!
