On June 14th, safety training and orientation will be held at First Baptist Church, Old Ocean. It is important that everyone attend.
After the Sunday evening meal at First Baptist Church, Old Ocean, students will participate in the Kick-Off Rally in the sanctuary. We hope that your family and friends will join us for the rally, led by Pete Houpt of FBC Sweeny.
Enclosed is a schedule of activities for the week. Students should report to the Family Life Center, First United Methodist Church at 7:45 each morning. Please refer to the schedule for further information.
