Update- save the dates!

Parents and Students- here are a few updates for SummitServe 2015 with some dates to save! 

1. On May 31 please have your student attending SummitServe meet at Zion at 6:00pm. I will be taking them to Lutheran Church of the Cross in Altoona to meet the other group going on the trip with us. I will take one van- but if you have a student able to drive, it will be great if they can help with transportation. We will return to Zion by 8:30pm.

2. On June 7 please plan to attend a parent/ student meeting at Zion from  7- 8:30pm. We will cover all of your questions, fill out medical forms (have insurance cards for your child handy) have the students sign behavior contracts, and go over the itinerary and packing list. We will also take time to pray and worship to ask God to bless the group! 

3. Money- the cost is $200 per student and the payment will need to be made by June 7th at our parent/ student meeting. Some have already paid half. If you have questions regarding how much you have or have not paid so far towards your student- please let me know. Otherwise plan to bring all final payments on June 7. Checks made out to Zion with "SummitServe" in the memo are great! Thank you. Also keep in mind that the students will need to bring money for meals and any additional spending they wish to do. In the past $100 has been more than enough for this. Each student will be responsible to hold and monitor this money throughout the trip- just an FYI for budgeting ahead of time! 

If you have any other questions or concerns between now and June 7 please feel free to email me or call the church office. We are looking forward to an awesome 2015 trip and so excited for what God has in store!
