If so, this study is for you. Come and study with other ladies as together we learn about God's amazing grace that is available for every situation-no matter how difficult.

M-FUGE 2008
W. Palm Beach Fl.
Palm Beach Atlantic University - July 12-19*
I need to remind you of the changes that went into effect in 2007.
1. M-Fuge has changed its schedule. M-Fuge is now Monday through Saturday. This year we will leave on Sunday and arrive in W. Palm Beach on Monday. We will be returning home on Saturday.
2. There is now a $100.00 non-refundable deposit due by January 15th. If you like you can pay partial deposit anytime you like but the full $100.00 is due January 15th.
3. You are able to work off the rest of your trip by working in the Upward Concession or any other fundraiser we may have. It is up to you to make sure you are signed up to work the concession. Elaine Moore will have the sign up sheet and you can see her to get put on the schedule. Many students paid for their trip by working Upward last year.
M-Fuge is a great introduction to missions. It helps students understand the needs of others around them, it gets students focused on God, and it builds unity within our youth group. If you are new to youth ministry (7th-12th grade) come and talk to me about this exciting trip. Students that go are never sorry they went. The final cost for M-fuge will be given once I determine how many students are going. We will be traveling by charter bus again this year. I encourage you to consider going on mission in 2008. Ken
