WOW! Penn Central Conference congregations have nominated almost 400 youth that they feel would enjoy attending the UCC's National Youth Event (NYE), July 10-13, 2012 at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana as part of the Penn Central Conference delegation. These youth have received letters of invitation from the conference to attend one of five informational sessions that are being held throughout Penn Central Conference in October.

WHAT IS NATIONAL YOUTH EVENT: National Youth Event, held every four years, provides an opportunity for over 3000 youth (ages 13 to 18 as of July 2012) to gather for worship, workshops, faith, fun and fellowship. It is planned by the collaborative efforts of the UCC national staff and an NYE Event Planning Committee comprised of a diverse group of UCC youth and young adults. In fact, one of the young adults on this NYE's planning team, Jennifer Dennis, is from our own Penn Central Conference.

NYE is open to all youth so if you know of a youth who is interested in attending NYE and they did not receive one of the personal letters, please personally invite the youth and their parents to attend one of the informational sessions below. They may select whichever date and location is most convenient.

Sunday, October 16, 3pm-4:30pm - (Lancaster/York area) Trinity UCC, 200 E Market Street, Hallam
Sunday, October 16, 3pm-4:30pm - (Carlisle/Chambersburg area) First UCC, 30 N Pitt St, Carlisle

Sunday, October 30, 3pm-4:30pm - (Central/Northern area) - St Paul's UCC, 400 N Market Street, Selinsgrove

At the info session they will discover more about the UCC National Youth Event. They will hear from someone who has attended a past NYE, learn Penn Central's transportation plans, costs, fundraising opportunities, how to register and much more. There will be a time for questions from parents and youth. The informational gathering is strictly an opportunity for the youth and their family to gather information. Pastors and Youth Leaders are also invited to attend.

If there are questions or a family would like to attend an informational session, please contact Brenda Waleff at the conference office. (bwaleff@pccucc.org 717-652-1560)
