We will be having a swim party at the Pritchards house from 6-8pm. We will be cooking hot dogs and splashing it up some come ready to party!!

2) Schlitterbahn June 3rd $32
We are taking a group down to New Braunfels to take a slide on the wild side. We have about 40 spots that will go fast so make sure to get your $32 in to reserve your ticket. You will need money for meals at the park. We'll leave at 8am from HBC and return around 10:30pm. So grab some sunscreen and lets have some fun playing at the waterpark.

3) We are still signing up for Freedom Camp (July 6-11) in the youth room. The cost is $225 until June 11th. To reserve your spot for camp, fill out the medical release form, give us a copy of your insurance card and pay the $50 deposit. You don't want to miss out on this great week of youth camp.

4) South Texas Youth Family Mission Trip, July 14-19
If you are interested in going on this trip, sign up in the youth room with a $50 deposit. The total cost of the trip is $185. We are going to be doing a VBS and basketball clinics. It was a great trip last year and we believe it will be even better this time around.

Remember that you can still buy Guatemala shirts for $15 from any of our students going on the trip. Also we are renting out the students to raise money for the trip...if you are interested let Ronny know by email ronny-higgins@highlandbc.org.

Peace out,

HSM

Couple of Schedule Changes

1) We are having to change some things up for June 3rd. We originally planned on going to Hurricane Harbor which is on your summer calendars, but then when we went to order tickets, we realized that they aren't open then. So we are changing directions and heading south to Schlitterbahn on June 3rd. We are working on a cost and will hopefully have some more info for you by Wednesday May 28th.

2) We also are trying to decide on this New Orleans trip. As of right now, we have 5 people signed up. For the kind of work that they need for us to do we will need at least 10 or more. If you want to go and haven't let us know yet, please let Matt or Ronny know on Sunday or Wednesday. If we don't have more sign up by next Wednesday May 28th then we may have to pull the plug on the trip. We don't want to do that, but it may be our only option.

See you guys on Sunday and have a great Memorial Day weekend...be safe.

Church Under the Bridge

Hey guys,

Don't forget this Sunday, May 4th, we will be going to Church Under the Bridge. If you need a ride we will have the vans and the bus that will leave from HBC at 9:30am. MOTION is performing and Jordan Johnson is leading worship out there so it is going to be a great time. We are asking that parents pick your students up out there because the service won't end until around 12:15pm which obviously is later than our Highland service lets out. We will have the vans and bus to bring students back if that is a problem. CUTB is located at the 4th and 5th Street bridge under I-35. We are looking forward to a great morning of worship. Hope to see you there!

HSM

PS-Matt will have something in the Youth Room for those students who choose to not participate in the CUTB service.
