2006 Staff Email #3

Sent 5/1/06
Greetings 2006 Staff!

I'm adding more and more of you to the list everytime I write! If anyone hasn't receive the first 2 emails, you can read their content right here on the staff's blog, "The PVM Staff Lounge." It's also a good way to post messages to each other or voice your thoughts and ideas about the summer. (If you are new staff members, just put your thoughts into the comments section of an existing post, or email it to me and I'll post it for you).

I know many of you are finishing or taking finals this week, and some still have a few more weeks to go. Camp is getting very very close- training week begins 3 weeks from this Thursday!
Mailing
I just sent a mailing out last week to everyone's permanent addresses. If you are away at school, I understand that you won't have a chance to look at them until after you finish finals and move back, so I am attatching digital copies of the cover letter (notice that one has dates and forms for Junior Staff and the other for everyone else). It instructs you to sign and return one copy of the contract by May 1 (today). Obviously since some of you won't receive it until sometime this or next week, just return the contract ASAP. The other forms can just be brought with you when you come to camp.

Prayer
Please keep the students at Taylor University (including a few of our current and past summer staff) in your prayers. Several Taylor students and 1 Taylor staff member died in a car accident this past Wednesday. You can read more about it here and prayer request from Kat posted on Lance's blog.

Finally,
I have another article for those of you who are hungering materials to prepare your heart and mind for this ministry adventure that is lying just around the corner. One article relates to teens and youth culture, the other to dynamics among fellow summer-staffers.

His,
amber
