Montreat Information

Hey everyone, 

Hope you all are excited about our trip to Montreat next week! I'm super stoked for a week in the mountains. This email is a bit long but please read it carefully. I tried to get everything in one place. 

1. We leave from church at 11:00 sharp on Sunday morning. plan on being to church a bit before. We will stop for lunch on the way up (fast food something). We should be in Montreat sometime around 3:00-3:30PM. Those of you who are meeting us there, keep me updated as you get closer. There should be stuff going on around or you can hang out in Black Mountain until we get there. My cell phone number is 970-215-9041 and should have reception up there. Emily can I have your cell number just in case? 

The address of the house we will be at is: 343 Lookout Rd. Montreat, NC. On the corner of Florida Terrace and Lookout Road. When you get into Montreat turn right onto Lookout Rd. Stay on Lookout past the auditorium and chapel and proceed up the hill. The house is #343 on the left at the corner of Florida Terrace. Turn left on Florida and go around back and park.

2. We will return somewhere around 3:00pm on Saturday. Depends on how quickly we can clean and get packed up. 

3. You may want a nice outfit for worship on the final evening. Many people will also be dressed up a little nicer. 

4. Please be sure to bring snacks to share with the group. Whatever you bring is what we will have around. (FYI: I'm fond of pretzel M&M's, just saying :)) 

5. Bedding: There are 3 single beds and 4 double beds. Does anyone have any of these sizes they can send with us? Please bring your own pillows and towels. 

6. Packing: please pack in your St. Luke's bags. 

7. Running: I know some of you are in the midst of training for Cross Country. I have heard from some people of another church that they have some people in the same boat. If you want to run please bring your stuff to do so. 

8. Entertainment: please bring stuff to do as a group in the evenings (i.e. catch phrase, apples to apples, friendship bracelets, cards, guitars, etc) 

I have attached another packing list and letter from this spring with details on it. Please take a look and let me know if you have any questions. See you all Sunday! 

Grace and Peace, 

Phil Brown

Youth update

Hey all you youth families of St. Luke's. It's been a busy summer in and out of town for all of us. we have had a great time in Honduras, Mt. TOP, Mexico, and Massanetta so far. Montreat is next week and then we are home for a few. Please keep the final trip of the summer in your prayers as we join 1000 other high schoolers in North Carolina. 

I know it seems far a way but August will be with us before we know it. Here are a few things to think about coming up: 

1. Summer Sundae's. Sunday evenings in July will include ice cream and a devotion with a few songs. a laid back evening in fellowship and worship for everyone. 6:30-7:30 at church. 

2. August 28th the youth are serving dinner at Druid Hill's Night Shelter. Could use someone to help coordinate this. It's really simple to do. It's a great way to be in local outreach and generally a fun time too. I'll be out of town until the 21st but, I'll help as best that I can from afar. Just let me know. 

3. Fall kick-off will be here before you know it. Enjoy your summer and remember to spend quality time as a family. Re-connect with each other and students take advantage of a bit of a Sabath. 

As always, if you have any questions please let me know. 

Grace and Peace, 

Phil
