Good Morning All!

So we are asking that any drivers you bring would stay to help your group travel between churches.  
 
We have two different flyers attached with registration information on them.  Please use the one that you think will help you engage your youth best.  We are working on T-shirts as well which each youth and adult will receive at the event.
 
Registration is open at  http://destinationgod.eventbrite.com we look forward to seeing you there.  
If you are interested in becoming a part of DCYM and would like to join us at our next planning meeting for this event please contact Mary Anderson, Peter Lagueras or myself.
