Bible Quizzing Announcement…new Senior Quiz Coordinator

We’d like to take an opportunity to make you aware of a change in Bible Quizzing leadership.  Pastor Jon Henry has decided to step down as Bible Quizzing Coordinator so that he can focus on being the quizzing coach for the team from his local church.  We do thank him for 4 faithful years of service as WV District Bible Quizzing Coordinator.  We salute his outstanding service to WV Bible Quizzing! And, we are happy for him as he leads the Bible Quizzing team from the Lighthouse in Morgantown!

In his place, we have appointed Rev. Michael Ray as successor. Brother Ray officially begins his appointment as WV District Bible Quizzing Coordinator on December 1. Michael and Melissa Ray are currently serving as Youth Pastor at the Glen Ferris Apostolic Church in Glen Ferris, WV.  They will be a great addition to the team and we welcome them! Please direct all Bible Quizzing inquiries to bromichaelray@yahoo.com.

Dear West Virginia Family:

Greetings in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ!

I would like to thank you for your continued support of the WV Youth Ministries.  I also would like to inform you about a wonderful opportunity available to all WV Youth ages 15+ next summer.

We are sponsoring a WV Youth on Mission Trip to the Province of Québec in Canada next June 20-28, 2012.  Québec is the most multicultural district in the United Pentecostal Church boasting converts from more than 40 different countries around the world.  While there, we will be participating in explosive church services, outreach, fellowship with the Québec District FLAYME youth group and many other worthwhile ministry endeavors.  We’d very much love to include some students from your church on this trip!  The trip will be led by the WV District Youth leadership, the Québec District Youth President Hector Guzmán and Metro Missionaries Scott and Liane Grant.

The total cost of the trip will be around $1,300 and will be all-inclusive (travel, lodging, tourism, 2-meals per day).

WV Youth on Mission Application

WV Youth on Mission Flyer

To participate, students should fill out their application and send in a non-refundable application fee of $100 postmarked no later than January 9, 2012.

Should you have questions please feel free to contact me, Brother Meadors or a Youth Committee Member.

In closing, let me say that in 2012 the West Virginia District Youth Ministry is whole-heartedly committed to faithfully fulfilling our mission with excellence and effectiveness.  Your youth committee, youth secretary and I are here to serve you and your youth.  It is our sincere desire to equip our young people to be true Apostolics in this last hour.

Sincerely in Christ,

Sheaves for Christ 2011

Dear Pastors, Ministers and Saints of West Virginia:

Thanks so much for your continued support of the WV District Youth Ministry and the General Youth Division.  Each year–through the support of churches like yours–thousands of dollars are sent into all the world to help build churches, win souls and effectuate revival.

Special thanks to all churches who have supported Sheaves for Christ this year.  Many offerings have been received thus far.  The SFC Sacrificial offering date was Sunday, September 11th. However, if you have not yet sent in or collected your church’s SFC offering, it is not too late!

Please help us with this very important offering.  Remember, 40% of the SFC offering stays right here in WV to assist in the many ministries provided to your students and young people.

Also, if you’ve not yet followed the WV Youth Ministry on Facebook and Twitter please do so at the following links:

Thanks in advance for your help!

Why?  One Lost = Too Many!

LAST MINUTE YOUTH CAMP NEWS!!!

 

West Virginia Family,

Youth Camp 2011 begins one week from today!  I’m happy to report to you that we have received many pre-registrations and are looking forward to an impacting youth camp!  I can’t think of any youth ministry method that has had more of a lasting impact on our students than youth camp!  We covet earnestly your prayers as we go into this exciting week!

Campers–please note the following information:

 

  • Registration for ALL campers and staff begins at 12:00 noon next Monday, July 25th at the worship center facility at the Rippling Waters Campground.  Space is limited so if you’ve not already registered and are planning on coming please don’t be late!
  • Dress—will be “business casual” for all campers for night services on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.  Due to the limited space for hang up clothing in the cabins and the cottages—we  strongly urge campers to dress more business casual and to limit themselves to (1) suitcase or duffle bag!  Thursday night will be a “dress up” night.  Girls may want to bring an extra mirror since the bathroom area is smaller than what we were accustomed to at Point Pleasant.  
  • Recreation—please bring appropriate basketball clothing, fishing poles, small tackle box, a softball glove and enough changes of clothing.  Our activities will be “Olympic style.”  That is to say—we will move from location to location together and have lots of fun and fellowship along the way.  We will be doing a softball game(s), basketball tournament, paddle boat races, archery shoots, paintball and zipline activities.  Anthony Moss is our recreational events coordinator and has lots of fun planned for the campers.
  • After church concessions—will be available on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. There will be no concessions after the Thursday evening service.
  • Conclusion of camp—Youth Camp ends immediately after the Thursday evening service.  ALL West Virginia District UPCI campers, staff and drive-in visitors must vacate the Rippling Waters campground by 10:00 p.m. on Thursday night (no exceptions and no courtesy stay overs).   Please make arrangements to pick up your campers and students on Thursday evening at the conclusion of the service.

We’d also like to make sure that everyone understands that ALL WV saints are more than welcome to attend the night services in the worship center just as it was in the past at Point Pleasant.  The amount of seats is less than at the Pt. Pleasant location, however, we still have seating for around 650-750.  

We are very excited about this year’s camp!  Thanks for allowing us the privilege of ministering to your teens and students!

 

Sincerely in Christ,

 

Robert E. Fazzalore
WV District Youth President

The Youth Team has been working diligently to prepare for Youth Camp 2011 which begins three weeks from today!  We are very excited about the new venue and the many new activities we are able to include this year.

We believe it will be a great camp for your students and youth!

Let me remind you that pre-registration is $125 per camper and must be postmarked by next Monday, July 11th! Registration at the door (space permitting) will be $150.  Be sure and take advantage of the savings and pre-register today!  We have received several pre-registration forms already.  However, there is still PLENTY OF ROOM for all campers desiring to attend (both girls and boys)!
