Mid and High School Student

Middle School and High School Students -
We are making a transition in how we do things at EYC. I would like to invite all parents to come by after next Wednesday's teaching series (10/26) for a few minutes to go over what these changes are and what the vision of EYC will be going forward. One of these changes will be more structure for gospel education. We will be using
this curriculum
(that requires no homework) going forward. The cost of the participants guide is $10. If you could bring that with you next Wednesday, I will be able to order the books.

2017 DR Trip - $200 Deposit
|
December 1 is the deadline to join the 2017 DR mission team. Since this deadline is a little earlier than in past years, we are not asking for you to buy your airline ticket by that date. Instead, a nonrefundable deposit of $200 will secure your place on the 2017 team. This $200 deposit will be part of your team fee, which we estimate to be between $650 and $700. We will be able to calculate that team fee more exactly once we know how many people are going, what our projects will be, and the in-country room, board, transportation and hotel expenses.
A webpage with planning information about our 2017 Dominican Republic mission team is now available at the link below. We are thinking about making a major change in our flights. Rather than flying from Orlando on JetBlue, there is a possibility that we might fly from Valdosta to Atlanta and then on to Santo Domingo. Details are in the flight section on the planning page. No decision has been made yet, and do not purchase flight tickets now. More detailed information will be available by November 1.
If you are interested in applying to join the team, contact Julia or Julius Ariail at
[email protected].
For more information on the 2017 trip, go here:

| DR Supper and Auction Event |
| February 23, 2017 - Save the Date! |
We will hold our annual dinner and auction for the Dominican Republic mission trip on Thursday, February 23, 2017, at the Cotton Corner in downtown Valdosta. This is our major fundraiser for the scholarships we donate to the Episcopal school in El Pedregal (70 in 2015 and 2016!) and for the expenses of our work projects in that village. For more information, contact Julia Ariail at [email protected].
