This email was sent to PYG students and parents on 2/26/11
Hello PYG brothers and sisters!
God has blessed us with an awesome retreat and a new call to truly stand firm in our faith for Christ (1 Corinthians 16:13-14).
I just wanted to remind you of some upcoming events....

You will also find all permission slips, calendar information, photos and weekly announcements at our blog so please check regularly.


URGENT NEWS...

There are $30 tickets sold for $20 (discounted with a generous donation) for the students. Please buy the tickets soon as they will go quickly.
Tickets will be sold in front of the cafeteria during lunch time.

4. Community Service -- New Project: Harlem Explorers
We just completed service at the Food Bank of New Jersey today.
From March to June we will be participating in Harlem by holding a Saturday VBS program for about 30+ children. We will be leading the praise, sermon, Bible study, crafts and will provide lunch.
We have decided to fund this whole project with a special missions offerings by our youth group. Each Sunday from March to June - please use the offering envelope and indicate if the offering should be designated for missions (Harlem Explorers Project). We are setting a goal of $600 for March - June which is the minimum amount of funds needed to serve our brothers and sisters in Harlem. Please be prayerful and decide how much to set aside for a missions offering in these next few months.

5. About Pastor Rana's Maternity Leave
Pastor Rana's daughter should be arriving around Easter. The due date is April 27th but my feeling is she will be early. So most likely I will be gone from Easter Sunday for about one month. If all goes well and recover is good I should be back by Memorial Day weekend.
During this month, Jr and Sr. High will have joint worship services led by our Pastor Paul Hwang.
