February Events  
 
Senior High Ski Trip -
The annual Youth Ski Trip will take place at Wisp Ski Resort in Garrett County, Maryland February 14th -17th

The lodge has been booked. The food will be purchased. The lift tickets are waiting to be bought and clipped to ski jackets. All we need is to know what youth will be joining us this year for a weekend of snow, slopes, and fellowship. In addition to all that fun in the snow, we will be having Evening Prayer on Saturday night, and Holy Eucharist on Sunday night.

The cost per youth is $275, which will cover lift tickets, rentals, and tubing for the weekend. Youth must also participate in the Pancake Supper on Tuesday, March 4th.

Youth, if you are interested in taking part in the fun that will occur this weekend, please sign up as soon as possible. Depending on the numbers of participants, one friend each may be allowed to join you, but first, we need to know how many of our youth will be participating.

Youth can sign up by clicking here.  In addition to signing up, each youth must have a completed Youth Fellowship Registration Form, click here, and permission slip (found below).
