Paintball!!

This week's blog will feature "classic" EYC pictures that correspond with our current events. Read along to see what I mean...

St Mark's EYC is going Paintballing THIS Sunday (November 7th), from 12-5 p.m.
Smileys! The cost is $25 per person, and if you have not turned in your money yet, I need it ASAP! We are going to GTF Paintball with Christ Church Ponte Vedra, and everyone needs a GTF release form (here) and a St Mark's release form to participate. You should wear long sleeves and pants (if it's not too hot) and dark colors, to help blend in (for once, NO Tie-Dye)! Don't forget, Fr Donavan is coming with us! Last year's Paintball was a lot of fun:

Speaking of Fr Donavan...Sunday, November 14th will be Fr Donavan Night Smiley at Junior and Senior EYC! Come and meet our new "youth" priest--come with your best questions, ready get to know him better! Here is a picture of Fr Donavan from his Facebook page, playing guitar:


Sunday, November 14th will also be our first EYC Theme Night, where everyone (Junior and Senior High) will dress up in that month's theme. Our first theme will be Nerd Night Smiley, so dress up in your best geek chic!


Fr Donavan and I are coming to Episcopal for lunch next Wednesday (November 10th)! Come and get some of Leah's fresh baked cookies Free Smiley Face Courtesy of www.FreeSmileys.org! Here's a pic of a previous school visit!


Christmas Tree Lot Sign-ups have started Smiley! The Christmas Tree Lot is our primary youth group fundraiser for Mission Trips and scholarships, and it will run from Friday, November 26th (my B-day!) until we sell out of trees. We unload the trees on Thanksgiving Day. The Tree Lot will be open from 10 a.m.-8 p.m. on weekends, and 5-8 p.m. on weekdays. Here's a shot from last year's Tree Lot:


The Junior High Mission Trip to Chattanooga (July 2-9) still has spots open Smiley! Fr Donavan will be with us as we do a road trip, go whitewater rafting, and explore the Southeast while serving others. If you are a current 7th or 8th grader, sign up today!

This Spring (March 18-19), EYC girls are going to Revolve Tour in Lakeland! Here's a little preview:




Sign up for the Diocesan Ski Trip to North Carolina over President's Day weekend (Feb 18-21) Smiley! The Ski Trip is $350 per skier, $365 per snowboarder, and $255 if you don't ski.
