CYF outing to play whirlyball in Dallas this Wednesday
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
WhirlyballYouth in grades 9-12 will take a trip to Dallas tomorrow (Wednesday, June 23) to play whirlyball, an exciting game that combines basketball, lacrosse, and bumper cars.  The group will meet at 12:30 p.m. to carpool to Dallas for two hours of play, and should return to the church by 5:00 p.m.  You're welcome to bring a friend, but be sure to contact Jessica Vacketta at jessica@uccftw.com so that we have enough seats.  Want to learn more about what the heck whirlyball is?  Go to www.whirlyballdallas.com to learn more!

Bell at Disciples Crossing Seven of our youth who have completed grades 6-7 are at Disciples Crossing in Athens until Saturday for Chi Rho Camp.  Please keep the campers and counselors in your prayers as they grow closer to God and one another on holy ground.

Mission Trip Stock Sale ends this Sunday morning in the Gallery
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Stock sale graphic This Sunday is the last opportunity to buy stock in our youth mission trips at the table located in the Gallery. At $10 per share, the stock helps reduce the cost of each trip for participating youth and earns an invitation to a "shareholders luncheon" at the end of the summer to hear about the trips.  If you or your child can't make the trip, this is a great way to support youth missions and get an exclusive report about the trips afterward.  Just stop by the table in the Gallery Sunday morning after either service or Sunday school.
