Announcing End of Summer Party!

Greetings! 

I am happy to announce a few upcoming events for the Sacred Space community.

There will be a special celebration on September 6, 2009 to welcome our new 6th graders, celebrate the end of summer and the start of a school year, invite new and old friends to join our youth group, and allow parents to meet each other.  It will also be an opportunity for parents and youth to meet me (Robyn), if we haven't already had that opportunity.  

Where:  home of Kelsey, Donald and Christine Whiteside, 1153 Tamara Ave. S., Salem, OR  

When:  September 9, 5:30 p.m. until 8:30.

What to do:  Games, Conversation, and Fun!

What to bring:  Potluck dish - something to share.  (A-I) Salads, (G-N) Main Dish, (O-Z) Desserts.

Who:  Students are encouraged to bring a friend and their parents.

Please RSVP to Robyn by September 8 to let us know if how many will be attending.  

Although the Sacred Space youth group is part of First United Methodist Church (FUMC) of Salem, all youth from 6th grade to 12th grade are welcome whether they have other family members who attend or participate in FUMC.  

New Leader for Sacred Space

Hi.  I am the new adult leader for Sacred Space.  You can call me Robyn, or Pastor Robyn, or use my new nickname MYCE (Minister of Youth and Christian Education).  Before moving to Oregon to work with the young people at First UMC Salem, I was the Pastor at Crossroads United Methodist Church in Idaho.  I graduated from Pacific School of Religion with a Master of Divinity in May 2008.  

I hope you will come to our gatherings on Wednesday evenings from 6 - 8 p.m. and get to know me and the amazing students I have the honor of ministering with.  We have an interesting and fun fall schedule planned so check back for our events.

Pace e Bene - "peace and all good"

Robyn
