Idaho Mennonite Relief Sale
THANK YOU to everyone! The sale was a great
success again and we couldn’t have done it without all of your support in the
many ways you gave and contributed. The day’s proceeds were around $60,000. A
more detailed report will be available later.
Summer
Worship Schedule
Again this year
we will have a portable prayer booklet available that may travel with you this
summer in your family adventures. Worship will be held at the church every
Sunday at 10 AM. Some upcoming highlights include personal sharing by Angel and
Janeth from Columbia on June 17.
Tracking
Volunteers at the Church
We have been
requested by the State Insurance Fund and workman’s compensation insurance that
we track volunteer hours. There will be a log posted in the kitchen (near the
door) and on the door to the sanctuary. As you volunteer at the church, please
record your name, date, hours worked, and tasks. Thank you very much.
Hyde Park Mennonite Fellowship
College Scholarship Requests
Hyde Park
supports its youth in attending college by providing a scholarship for 4 years.
Youth who wish to take advantage of this assistance should notify Janet
Buschert, Church Treasurer, at least four months before they enroll. This
deadline was May 15 so we have extended it until June 15. If the institution
the youth will attend matches this gift, matching gift forms should also be
provided at this time.
Congratulations
to Jim & Nicole Yoder!
We have heard news that Jim & Nicole welcomed
baby boy Ruben into the world on May 11. All is well and Grandparents Ron &
Cathy Yoder are thrilled! Ron & Cathy attended Hyde Park for years and live
in Boise and Jim & Nicole live in Portland.
News About
Camp Palisades
Held In the Palisades area of
eastern Idaho and sponsored by the Mennonite church in Aberdeen, Idaho.
From the Camp Planning Committee:
We
are sorry to be so slow to get information out about our camp this year.
It has been a struggle to decide what to do in light of the logging off of so
many of the trees that the pine beetle has attacked. The camp has
been changed considerably, but we have decided that the camp program is too
important to let even one year go by without providing the camp experience for
the young people. We will be working hard to get the camp into
shape for the camp season. We hope that you will all still be able
to plan to send your youth up for the wonderful spiritual
experience.
The High School camp will be first, in
hopes that these young people who have spent several years at camp in the past
will be able to help with some brain storming. We are hoping to make it a
service camp theme, where they will be able to help us with some final trail
clearing near the camp where they feel important trails have been
disrupted. The camp has a lot of wide open space now. It is beautiful,
but still needs some work. We ARE planning a RAFT TRIP for the youth...
it will not be all work and no play.
We are concerned that the camp may be very
warm and want to try a bit shorter camps this year to see how we handle
the heat. We want to remind everyone that they will definitely want to
bring water bottles! Camel backs would be even better even both.
SUNSCREEN & HATS will be a must. Please remind
everyone that they will need these items.
With all that in mind here is the Schedule:
Youth Camp July
12 – 15............. $70
Jr. High Camp July 19 – 22............. $60
Junior Camp July 27 – 29............. $55
All Camps will leave Aberdeen at 5 PM on Thursday and return at 4 PM on Sunday.
There
will be water bottles for early registration by June 28th.
We are still looking for a director and Speaker for the Youth camp. We need a director for the Junior camp. We need counselors and health care personnel for all camps. If you know of anyone who would like to help with camps this year, please let us know.
Camp really is beautiful with the
additional view, and I think we will have a wonderful time in spite of the
change.
Please call Tim Satterfield at 208.397.5277 or Lura Schroeder at 208.226.5361 for more information. You can e-mail as well. If anyone wants to register by e-mail I will be happy to take that as well. Anyone wanting to help with Youth camp can also contact Monty Ledford at 208.397.3439 or mepluseight@juno.com
