FALL RETREAT FIRE SALE IS ON!
The best fall event of the year is now open for registration (and if you register between 10/9 and 10/11, you can save $25)! We are headed back to our favorite island in the Catawba River to a place called Camp Canaan where the ropes are high, the bonfires toasty warm, the days are bright and crisp, and there's something for everyone to enjoy. Our theme this year is Stressed Out and we'll be talking about how we can find the freedom from stress that God wants for all of us. Communicating all of that will be Niki Noel, Director of Children's & Youth Ministries at Albemarle Rd. Presbyterian. And back to lead us in worship will be Cameron Moore from Covenant Presbyterian! In addition to great small group discussion, we'll be hitting the high ropes course, playing some group games, and getting in plenty of time to enjoy God and our community in the great outdoors.

PARENT GROUP GATHERING - 10/20
Parents Group will be gathering at the Guise home again on October 20th during Youth Group. Join us for some social time and a chance to connect with other parents in the same stage of life as you!
PAY FOR DINNER BY CREDIT/DEBIT
You can pay for Youth Group dinners by credit/debit by texting dcpc to 73256 and following the prompts in the reply.

If you want to make things even easier, here's a great suggestion from a very clever parents: make a lump payment in advance and we will deduct from the balance each dinner. We have 20 dinners left this year so $50 would cover the average attender for the rest of the year.
NEW YEAR CHECK LIST
I'm often asked how parents can help out our ministry so here are a few simple ways that you can make that happen:
