Drum Roll Please

Introducing the first ever St. Elijah SOYO newscast. Watch in awe:

A New Year

Hey all!

I wanted to wish everyone a happy school year but then I realized that would be kind of lame and mildly mean.

So, instead I would like to remind you of all the awesome things we have in store for you with SOYO. We have a new group of officers who are ready to make this year amazing, so try and brace yourselves!

Weekly activities:

• We have Open Gym once a month on Tuesday from 6:30 to 8:00. It's awesome. If you don't believe me, you should check out the video the last post. Check the calendar for dates. The next one is September 23rd!
• Also, we have Teen Chats every Wednesday from 7 to 9 in the Teen Room. You should come. You never know what will happen...
• Don't forget that Vespers is on Saturday at 5. You all love Vespers at camp so you should come and get your fix. I usually have to sit all alone, so you could come and keep me company and stop me from crying. Not that I would ever want you to feel guilty or anything, but it's only 40 minutes!
  
• Sunday School will start September 14th. Get excited.

We are working on the design for this year's t-shirt so make sure you let me or one of the other officers know what size you need. Speaking of officers, I should probably list them so you know who they are. (Drum roll, please)

• President: Natalie Homsey
• Vice-President: Petra Sweiss
• Treasurer: Eric Massad
• Secretary: Ali Rahill
• Historians: Nicole Shadid, Nathan Shadid and Amy Wallace
• Sergeant at Arms: THE Joel Jezdan
  

Feel free to contact them, or me, with any questions you have.

Have a wonderful week! Love you all!

Erin

Random Erin fact #81908: I always eat around the edge of my sandwiches and save the middle for last.

Are you game?

Kick-Off time!

Hey all,

We have a date and location for the kick-off party! It will be August 10th (that's a Sunday), at 6:00 p.m., at Tad and Debbie Shadid's house - also the home of THE Laney Wagoner. They live really close to the church, so everyone should be able to make it. Be looking for directions in the bulletin or give me a call if you have questions. It's gonna be the best non-swimming pool party ever!



Everyone needs to come because we will be having our elections for the new year! Don't miss out on a great opportunity to get involved in SOYO and/or vote for our new leaders.

Also, I thought I would get crafty and make a video to entice you to come to open gym. I will try to post it on here today.

Random Erin fact #4893: I kinda sorta despise the color pink.... yikes!

WWYDWYW???

What Will You Do With Your Wednesdays???

Don't forget teen chats every Wednesday from 7 to 9 in the teen room.

I mean, I don't want to brag or anything, but we have a pretty great time. It's kind of a big deal. I would hate for you to miss out!

Random Erin fact #72408: I have a problem with Jell-O. It's a texture thing...

Camp Pictures - as promised.

Here's a glimpse of our time at CSR. YABOY!

St. Elijah teens showed up in great numbers for both sessions. We pretty much rocked the camp!

OG and TC, yippeee!

Hey all,

Now that all of our camping is done, it's time to start up Open Gym and Teen Chats again. Get excited!

Come to the gym tomorrow, that would be Tuesday, from 6:30 - 8:00. I don't know about you, but I am going through afternoon program withdrawal and I think a game of bangleball will be the best medicine.

Also, we will be in the teen room Wednesday night from 7 to 9 for our wonderful Teen Chat time.

I miss not seeing your faces everyday! I hope to you soon!

Much love,

Erin

p.s. I'll try and post some camp pictures on here this week. Yaboy!
