In other news, this year's Confirmation Class is making its retreat this weekend, traveling to Barnwell, SC. They will stay at the Barnwell State Park, reflect on their several month's of study and exploration, take their confirmation exams, participate in a service project, and lead worship at Barnwell Presbyterian Church on Sunday. Wow - what a weekend. Please keep the 5 students and their chaperones in your prayers!

Our May schedule is getting full and we'll publish a calendar soon. In the meantime, if you have any students in your family graduating from high school or college this year, please send us their information so we may recognize their achievements. Please send name, school from which graduating, degree (if appropriate), and plans for immediate future to us by clicking here.

There's not enough room in the bulletin to list all of the youth goings-on. Mark your calendars now for our Annual Youth & Children's Banquet and Silent Auction on May 16. This event is an opportunity for our youth & children to raise money to help offset retreat, mission trip, & conference expenses; in addition a percentage of the funds they raise will benefit the Remember Niger Coalition. This is the first time this opportunity has been available for our children, so parents be sure to check in with Duncan for more information.

Spring Mission'15: Habitat for Humanity
One Great Hour
We thank each of you who has contributed to our One Great Hour of Sharing offering! We will continue to accept your offerings - everything we receive above the minimum goal of $10,000 will be applied to help the family furnish and stock the house. The 2*4*8 posts that we've been signing and decorating have been installed in the house frame and are there for the life of the house.

Now it's time to start helping with the build!
We will work the first four Saturdays in May with two shifts each day (8am - 12noon and 1-4pm). You can sign up for as many shifts as you like! We will have the grill on site and serve lunch for all the work group and Laurel Oak Grove residents. Sign up sheets are in the narthex, or you can email Henry Meeuwse here to sign up. There are jobs big & small, of all types, including cooking and serving lunch. Please join us.

Note: the Laurel Oak Grove work site is on Fort Johnson Road, James Island.
