Spring Retreat
Come and join us for our second annual Spring Retreat, February 24-26.  Ok, it’s a little earlier than spring this year, but it will be a great way to prepare for the upcoming season.  We will meet at Trinity UMC, Friday at 8pm for registration.  The whole weekend will be led by a team or adults from GCUMC, Trinity UMC and students from ONU.  The retreat will end at 12pm on Sunday with a pit luck dinner for parents, youth and families.  The cost of the retreat is $10 per student and a covered dish for the potluck Sunday lunch.

Souper Bowl Party
Thank you to all of you that came out to enjoy the Super Bowl at GCUMC.  We had over 40 people and 20 different soups to enjoy.  We had a great time in the name of the Lord.  Thank you for supplying us with soup, love and hospitality.

30 Hour Famine
This April, 20th-21st our youth will be joining the efforts of hundreds of thousands of young people all over the nation who will set aside the usual “stuff” that fills their daily lives. Instead, they will attend World Vision’s 30 Hour Famine because they are “LOVE HUNGRY” – the theme for this year. By going without food, our youth get a taste of what the world’s poorest children and families face every day. Prior to the event weekend, students will be encouraged to gather can goods and other items to donate to the Grove City Food Pantry.  Our group will also be performing hands-on service projects during the weekend in order to make a difference in our community.

Boy’s Chrysalis Next Weekend
Chrysalis is a unique form of ministry for youth and young adults, ages 15-24. The roots of the Chrysalis Flight and Chrysalis Journey are deeply planted in its parent movement, the Walk to Emmaus. Much like the Walk to Emmaus, Chrysalis is a three day experience of God's love and grace in the context of a prayerful Christian community. This community will consist of other people your age in worship, prayer, fellowship, creative expression, recreation, singing, and discussion. You'll experience the love of God through prayers and the acts of service from a loving support community.  Sponsor’s act now, we are still accepting applications for this weekend, February 18-20!
