Our Mission of the month for June is our very own Youth Group! They are going
on a Mission trip to a Reservation in New Mexico. There are about 10 young
people interested in taking part. The RCA is helping with planning and pricing of
tickets, however it will be a costly trip. While our kids are expected to contribute,
we are collecting to help offset the costs. We don’t want cost to keep a HRC
teenager from being able to go, so please give generously to the Mission fund
this month!

I do not think of all the misery, but of the glory that remains. Go outside into the
fields, nature and the sun, go out and seek happiness in yourself and in God.
Think of the beauty that again and again discharges itself within and without you
and be happy. – Anne Frank

Youth Group News!
I cannot believe another school year has ended. We have a lot of things going
on.
We just participated in the Relay for Life and raised about $950. The kids had
a great time and also enjoyed the non-sleep sleepover at the church. It took a
few days for Shannon and I to recover.....but these kids are a pleasure to be with
so it was worth it!
Our Mission Trip is coming together. We have had some generous donations
towards our trip which we are extremely grateful for! We will be flying out
on July 21 and returning the 25th. The kids are very excited about this endeavor
as are we. The pastor for the Jicarilla Reformed Church is also excited about our
arrival.
I am looking for prayer partners for the kids. This would be someone that would
pray for their partner and perhaps send them with a goodie bag for the trip. I
could use a few more volunteers. The identity will be a secret until we return from
the trip and Pastor Bob will have a special dinner so that the partners can be
revealed and can meet each other. This is a great opportunity to get to know the
youth of our church. I can promise you they are a great bunch of kids who are
thoughtful, kind and lots of fun to hang with! If you are interested please email
me at eeyorelovesclouds@yahoo.com or call me at (845)943-0745.
I cannot wait to experience this mission with our youth. I also am excited to share
the experience with the congregation when we return! Thank you all for your
continued support and prayers! They are our future and I think we are in good
hands with this crew!
