Thanks to everyone for supporting the youth mission trip this summer! The Pie-in-the-Face fundraiser raised over $200 for our trip in July to Macon Georgia.

Taco Breakfasts are always the first Sunday of the month, and our next Taco breakfast (June 6th) will all support the youth mission trip.

Thanks to everyone for all their continuing dedication to the youth program at St. Michaels'.

Rent

This weekend and the next two weekends Eric Meo is performing in Rent. We should all go out and support one of our own!

Hope you all are having a great weekend and I hope to see you Sunday at St. Michael's!

Family

Escape from this wet winter mix that is streaming down from the sky at EYC tonight! We are going to have some delicious Mac and Cheese tonight with salad and bread. For a special treat we are going to be celebrating February birthdays tonight with some cupcakes.

Tonight we will be finishing Mrs. Doubtfire and talking about the role Family plays in the decisions we make. In order to gain a different perspective on the concept of family we are going to look at the relationship between Ruth and Naomi.

So come tonight for some food and fellowship with your friends! Hope to see you all at 6pm with $5!

What a Beautiful Tuesday!

This past Sunday was a great success! Not only was it Taco Sunday, but a handful of the youth were able to participate in SunOne after church. Youth from St. Michael's, St. Matthew's, St. David's and All Saints participated in a fun scavenger hunt across UT's campus. I was very proud of my team, which included our very own Elizabeth Emery, for winning the activity! The only nervous part of the whole day was when I realized I was driving around on EMPTY!!! I am sorta bad at remembering to check how much gas I have until I am almost out. Even the end of the day ended on a happy note as I watched the Saints win the super bowl. While I am not a big football fan I really was happy for the Saints on their win. I hope everyone is having a great start to their week, and I hope to see everyone tomorrow at EYC!

SunOne February 7th

On the first Sunday of every month all the churches in the Austin convocation come together to do one large youth event. In doing this youth from different churches have the opportunity to get to know one another. This coming Sunday we are having our monthly SunOne event at All Saints, which is located on UT's campus. SunOne will begin at 1:30pm and will last until 3:30pm. Parents are asked to help provide rides to and from the event. Every SunOne event is different, and this month we are going to be doing a scavenger hunt around UT's campus. All the youth will be divided into teams and sent out to find all the things on their list. If your youth is interested in participating in this event please have them meet me at All Saints at 1:30 with $5.

Because SunOne is going to begin earlier than normal Sunday Lunch will happen at the Chipotle on The Drag this coming Sunday.
