The YAPS Visit Portland!

A Little Note From Our Sister Group in the Puget Sound Area

Yes, the Land of Port (aka “Portland”) is an enchanting land – full of possibility and great spirit. The Young Adults of the Puget Sound will visit this mystic land down south. Will you join this sacred quest with us? Will you dare to share an experience that will bring us closer to one another and closer to our Maker? The answer better be yes or I’ll kick you .. . . in a very Christ-like way of course. Leather sandals and, well, you get the picture . . .Let’s get down to the nitty gritty of it:

When: November 10th and 11th (Sat to Sun).Plan: We’ll be leaving from Marysville, WA – the Cedarcrest Congregation – at 8:30am on Saturday morning. We can make a couple stops on the way down south to pick up people or to have others join our caravan (ex. Seattle and Auburn/Tacoma) if needed.We will then stop for lunch in or around Vancouver, WA – you’ll need to bring money for lunch. Afterward, we will proceed to the Portland Community of Christ Church to drop off our stuff (should be around 1pm) and then we will head to downtown Portland for an afternoon of fun and exploration.

Dinner will be out on the town at a place to be determined – you will need to bring money for dinner as well.Following dinner, we will return to the church for an evening of games and activities. The congregation has a gym and has plenty of space for hanging out.

Yes, I’m sure “What if, Then” will rear it’s ugly head :)Sunday morning, YAPS will lead the 11am worship service after a breakfast that we will provide. We will need your help for this! We need people who are willing to share testimonies, read scriptures, participate in a short activity (focus moment), and help with the offertory.

Please e-mail Sean or me if you are willing to participate. This is a great opportunity to worship together and provide ministry to our faith community.Lunch on Sunday afternoon will be on our way out of town and will need to be provided by you. We should be getting back into the Seattle area by 6pm.

Cost: You’ll need to provide the money for 2 lunches and 1 dinner. Also, if you are carpooling, bring some money for gas for the driver to help bring down the cost of travel.

So . . . who’s in??? Let us know ASAP so we can lock down our plans for this awesome weekend! As always, let us know if you have any questions or concerns – we’d love to help make this weekend happen. We’ll talk to you soon!
