Dear youth and parents,
There are two great opportunities for youth coming up this Saturday, with the intergenerational "Breakfast with the Guys" event on Saturday morning and the big trip to Dallas for broomball and lunch during the day. Read on for information on both of those, and don't forget to RSVP for the broomball outing.
Also, I'll be preaching at The Search this Sunday evening to kick off the stewardship emphasis that will continue for several weeks. Stewardship will have a different feel at our alternative worship service (like everything else!), so come join us in Fellowship Hall at 5 p.m. this Sunday for a different take on what it means for us to give and receive at University Christian Church.
Grace and Peace,
Russ

Chi Rho and CYF train ride, broomball and lunch - this Saturday
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 Jessica and Herb have put together a fun youth outing to Dallas to play broomball, the hockey-esque game played in normal shoes at an ice rink. All interested middle and high schoolers will meet at the T&P train station downtown at 10 a.m. this Saturday to take the train to Dallas, play broomball at America's Ice Garden, have lunch together at Spaghetti Warehouse, and take the train back to Fort Worth for a 5 p.m. pick-up. $20 covers your train rides, broomball, and lunch. (As always, full or half scholarships are available upon request.)
Reservations and a liability release signed by a parent or guardian are both required for this event. RSVP to Jessica at jessica@uccftw.com by this Thursday, September 23 to make a reservation, and click here to download the liability release to bring with you on Saturday. Invite a friend, and we'll see you on the ice!
