IMPORTANT POLICY FOR SAFETY AND LIABILITY: NO teenagers are to drive themselves up or back from Breakaway. ONLY a parent can drive young people up late or pick up early. If any arrangements are to be made, they must be made between parents. The YM office will not arrange rides for you. Please email the youth office with any student who will be arriving late or leaving early AND which parent will be driving him/her. Also, as some have asked, we cannot reduce the cost for a student who will only be there for a portion of the weekend. This is a choice/cost you will have to weigh in your decision. There is no planned early bus departure - only in the event of emergency/inclement weather. Youth Ministry Scholarships Parents, an important word about scholarships (and some other details) for Breakaway..... We are in need of scholarship funds, as this year they have all been depleted to zero. If you would like to help a young person go to Breakaway, please pray and talk as a family about helping to pay for another young person to go. I am sensitive to this issue, because when I was a teenager, I received a scholarship for the first youth trip I ever went on. I'm not sure I would be a youth pastor if a man in the church in 1970 had not paid my way as a fifteen year old. Thanks! We are so looking forward to these Breakaway Weekends! Jim Byrne |
