Next meeting

Hey guys, the adults just met this afternoon to talk about the trip and cover some details. We are all very excited for the trip! Our next meeting will be next Sunday, May 31 after the second service. We will be using this meeting to prepare some materials that will be used for teaching and serving kids while we are in Ecuador.

We will meet in the loft until 2:30pm and will provide lunch for you.

You need to bring your passport to this meeting so that we can make a copy of it.

We also need your parents to come for 30 minutes so that we can give them some important information about the trip.

Final amount for trip

Hey guys, I just wanted to give you an update on the final amount that you will need for the trip. To cover the airfare, L.A. stopover and youth world fees each person is responsible for $1850.00. This amount is broken down as follows.

support from MLC $500
initial deposit $100
airfare deposit $500
support from letters $??? based on money personally received from letters
servant sale $125
rummage sale $??? based on total amount of money raised
car wash $??? based on total amount of money raised

If these amounts do not add up to $1850.00, then you will be responsible for the balance. This balance will need to be paid in full by June 7.

In addition to this you will need to bring cash for 7 meals while on layovers in airports. Keep in mind that an average meal in an airport costs $7-$10.

If you plan on buying souvenirs while on the trip you will need to bring extra cash for that as well.

You may now bring your money from support letters to me at the church office during the week or on Sunday.

Call me with any questions. Have a great week off of school!!
