Tacky Christmas Party!!

Thanks to everyone who volunteered at this year's Tree Lot !

THIS Sunday (December 12th) is our EYC Christmas Party , from 5-7 p.m. (Junior and Senior High together) in the Youth Center! Dress in the Tacky Christmas theme--here's some inspiration:

Also, Bring a wacky present to share in our White Elephant gift exchange--nothing expensive, just fun! Invite your friends--it's going to be a good time.

Our pictures this week are a mix from the 10 days of Tree Lot! We start with some funny and weird moments (including a really well-timed video clip):

I spent yesterday researching some of our Road Trip stops for the Outdoor Mission Adventure (June 25th-July 2nd), and let's just say it is going to be hilarious ! If you haven't gotten in your $100 deposit for the trip (7th-8th graders only!), get it in today!

Random Holiday : Friday (12/10) is Dewey Decimal System Day. Anyone who can tell me what the Dewey Decimal System is (at EYC on Sunday), gets a special present!

We have several St Mark's people working the upcoming Happening #119 weekend (January 28th-30th at Camp Weed)! If you have not gone to Happening, a renewal weekend for 10th-12th graders, you should sign up here! Happening applications are due by Sunday, January 9th (which is also Confirmation Sunday).

The second group of pics have trees and/or branches in them :).





This week, let's pray for everyone who is sick or in a nursing home.

Quote of the Week : "I have found that in the simple act of living with hope, and in the daily effort to have a positive impact in the world, the days I do have are made all the more meaningful and precious. And for that I am grateful." --Elizabeth Edwards

The final pics are a goodbye to the 2010 Tree Lot (thanks to Hugh for the Thursday shift picture)! Remember that God loves you, and so do I !
