Sunne Lutheran Youth aka SLY "announces the 2010 Faith Adventure to the Navajo Evangelical Lutheran Mission in Rock Point, Arizona (with a side trip to the Grand Canyon) June 18-26, 2010.
The plans are to leave on June 18. We will be traveling by charter bus with overnight stops in Denver, Durango, and the Grand Canyon.
While at Rock Point, we will be staying at the Navajo Evangelical Lutheran Mission (www.nelm.org), a ministry of the Lutheran Church.
While at the Mission, we may be doing VBS, construction, cleaning, painting, landscaping, etc.
We will also be checking out the Grand Canyon, Canyon de Chelly, the Colorado Rockies (the mountains, not the baseball team), and various other sites.
We will leave Arizona on Friday, June 25, and return to Wilton on June 26.
This Faith Adventure is open to anyone in grades 8-12 regardless of their church affiliation or even if they don't have an affiliation.
Since we are limited to 30 people, priority will be given to those in grades 9-12.
Those in grades 9-12 can register at any time until October 25.
Registration for eighth graders begins on October 11, if space is available.
Registration closes on October 25.
Please feel free to invite friends to join in.
The cost of this Faith Adventure is $750/person BUT you only have to pay $350, the remainder we will raise.
Your $350 non-refundable down payment (or portion thereof if you are making installments) and the registration forms (medical release and parental authorization) are what needs to be turned in to Pastor Paul to have yourself registered.
If you cannot provide $350 at the time of registration, an installment plan can be arranged. A limited number of partial scholarships are also available, but there are no full scholarships.
If finances are an issue, please speak to Pastor Paul.
There are several expectations if you choose to participate.
First of all, you must be in worship at least 18 times between now and June 13. If you are not a member of Sunne, then worship in your home church.
The second major expectation is that participants will take part in all fundraising activities.
If participant chooses not to participate in an activity, that person will need to pay an additional amount based on the funds raised in that activity.
Money does not magically appear.
Fundraising is a team effort.
The third major expectation is that participants will take part in a community service project on Join Hands Day (May 1, 2010) or an equivalent project.
This is our way of serving our home community and saying thanks to our home community.
There are number of people interested in being a chaperone.
If you know of an adult that is interested, please have them contact Pastor Paul.
We are asking all chaperones to pay $350 toward the cost.
Chaperones are expected to be team leaders and fulfill the expectations mentioned above.
We will be having an information meeting on October 11 at 11:30 a.m. (following the 10:30 worship service).
This meeting is for all parents, youth, and potential chaperones who are interested in this Faith Adventure.
If you have any questions or concerns, please give Pastor Paul a call or send him an email ."
