Dear youth and parents,
I returned from the Chi Rho Mission Trip to Houston on Wednesday night, and we had a great experience serving at the Houston Food Bank, exploring the city, and growing closer to God and one another through worship, small groups, and fellowship activities. If you would like a detailed recap of the trip, be sure to buy stock in our mission trips this Sunday in the Gallery and you'll secure a place at our Shareholders Luncheon on August 4 where you'll hear stories and see photos from both youth mission trips.
Our staff will be spread out this coming week as Alison heads home to visit her family and the Amandas travel to Disciples Crossing to counsel at Chi Rho Camp for the North Texas Area (Disciple churches in and around Dallas). Jessica and I will both be in the office next week if you need to reach one of the youth ministers.
Read on for information about the mission trip stock sale, summer youth fellowship events, and more!
Grace and Peace, Russ

Buy mission trip stock and support youth work projects ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~
This Sunday morning our congregation has an opportunity to buy stock in our youth mission trips at the table located in the Gallery. At $10 per share, the stock will fund work projects in Memphis 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 on Sunday morning after either worship service or Sunday school.
