Summer Camp!

Skycrest Admin — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 18:24:17 +0000

Skycrest is attending Warren Willis United Methodist Camp in Fruitland Park, FL the week of July 2-7 (week 4). Camp is open to rising 4th graders through those just graduating high school. The total cost is $385, including the $75 registration fee. Go to www.warrenwilliscamp.org to register. You will need to create a user name and password. We will be taking the church bus there and back. We believe camp is a very powerful and meaningful experience for children and youth, and we have financial assistance available to those who need it. You can plan on the church providing $100 of the cost. If you need additional assistance beyond that, please fill out this form and return it to the church office. If you need more information, it is available on the camp website, or by calling the church office and speaking to Becky or Ted Rokitowski. Registration is filling up fast, so do not wait until the last minute!

Mission's Dinner

Skycrest Admin — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 16:15:33 +0000

Our Mission's Committee is hosting our annual Mission's Dinner in support of our missionaries, Ron and Loretta Davidson. The dinner will be held on Thursday, March 8th, at 6:00pm. The Davidsons have been serving in Honduras since 2005, and their work there has made an amazing impact. Honduras is the third poorest country in this hemisphere behind only Haiti and Nicaragua. Two-thirds of Hondurans are living in poverty. Of that two-thirds, a large percentage are living in extreme poverty — that is, they live on a dollar to two dollars a day. The Davidsons have helped to coordinate the delivery and distribution of food and supplies, and support of the 12 United Methodist congregations in the country.

Tickets for the Missions dinner are $12.00 for adults, $5.00 for children 6-12, and children age 5 and under are free. Come out and support the work of our missionaries!

Ash Wednesday

Skycrest Admin — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 16:13:00 +0000

Join us for our Ash Wednesday Service on February 22nd at 6:30pm in the sanctuary. Ash Wednesday is a time for reflection and preparation as we enter the season of Lent, where we are especially mindful of Jesus' sacrifice, and our need for repentance. We place ashes on our foreheads as a symbol of that repentance, and as a reminder of our mortality in this life.
