17th Annual Camping Trip

2010-07-22T18:06:00.000-07:00

It's time to register for the Camping Trip on August 13-15 at Black Moshannon State Park.

Here's what we need from you to register. (Get a copy of the brochure at http://www.tenthmaranatha.org/uploads/media/2010_Brochure.pdf.)

1. Travel Arrangements.

a. Will you come on the early vans (9:00 AM), the late vans (7:00 PM), or will you provide your own transport.
b. If driving yourself, what time will you be arriving? :00 AM/PM on Fri/Sat

2. Money.

a. The cost is $60 per person.

b. There is a per person family discount of $10 times the number of siblings. In other words, if you have a sister coming along, each of you pays $60 - ($10 X 1 sibling) = $50.
c. There is a $10 Late Registration Fee after August 1. The idea is that we need to have you confirmed sooner rather than later so that we can accurately arrange transportation and food. As the date of the trip comes nearer, we reserve the right to refuse your attendance if you don't register in time.

3. Release Form.

a. We need your Liability Release Form. (We may already that it on file if you were on the Retreat this past spring. If not, get a copy at http://www.tenthmaranatha.org/uploads/media/liability_release_form-2010_02.pdf.)
b. Any other information that may be important to your health and well-being during the trip, such as allergy information.

SHED retreat details!

2010-05-04T20:14:00.000-07:00

SHED Retreat, May 14-16
For all students in grade 11 and 12. We will depart from Tenth at 6.30 on the Friday evening and arrive back at Tenth for the 11am service on Sunday. The cost is $15 to cover gas and food, and students should bring spending money for the board walk!! We will be staying in the halls of Ocean City Baptist church on air-beds and there are showers too (so really its quite luxurious!). This will be a chance to end our study through Paul Tripp's "Quest for More"...if students have the book they are encouraged to bring it along with a bible and note-book. Some students (with sports commitments) will be coming up just for the Saturday night so perhaps you want to co-ordinate one vehicle doing this?? I have a full list of students but
I need definite commitments and payment this coming Sunday night.
If you have any questions please contact Jonny.

Updates on Winter Retreat and Missions Applications

2010-02-08T12:29:00.000-08:00

Friendly Reminders...

We leave for the Maranatha Winter Retreat this Friday Feb 12 at 5.30pm from Tenth and Arrive back on Sunday Feb 14 at 4pm at Tenth.

All Payment and Completed Liability Release Forms are due before Friday, so if you need to do this on Friday you must arrive earlier!

There is a "what to bring" list and other useful information posted as an attachment on our web pagewww.tenthmaranath.org.

Also...

All Missions Applications are due to be collected this Friday night at the retreat...this is the final date, given the extension the snow afforded you. So use snow days to finish these and know we are praying for you as you make decisions in serving the Lord.

If you have any questions, scholarships needs, concerns or need a missions application PLEASE contact Jonny jmcgreevy@tenth.org or Dora doramcfarland@gmail.com

WINTER RETREAT UPDATE PLEASE READ AND RESPOND PROMPTLY

2010-02-05T07:01:00.000-08:00

Parents and Maranatha Students
Given the possible interruption the impending snow storm may have on Sunday worship and the final opportunity to register for the winter retreat we have made the following contingency plans...

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND RESPOND PROMPTLY
(as yet very few students are registered for the retreat and we really need to let Camp Sankanac know our numbers on monday morning).

Students or Parents should e-mail Jonny at jmcgreevy@tenth.org before Monday at 9am to register that they will be attending the retreat and also inform us as to whether they are seeking one of the available scholarships...this request for a scholarship will then be followed up on the Friday evening by leaders who will collect memory work.

The Laibility Release form and "What to bring" information sheet has been e-mailed to parents and posted on our website. The relase form MUST be completed with full payment for the student to attend the retreat.

If at all possible you can mail their form and check, or scan and then e-mail, or even fax their form into the church, or drop it off during the week to Jonny.
(this will help us greatly given the high demand on registration and the great inconvenience it will cause us to be doing registration on Friday evening).

Parents are also reminded that we will be LEAVING at 6pm from Tenth on Friday, so your student would need to be here for 5.30 so we can deal with their payment and get them packed on the bus.

We really would appreciate your help with this process and greatly value your prayers for the retreat and how God will use it in the lives of our students.

Winter Retreat

2010-02-01T18:18:00.000-08:00

The annual Maranatha Winter Retreat is just around the corner. From Friday, February 12th through Sunday, February 14th, Maranatha will be embarking on a weekend retreat to Camp Sankanac in Spring City, Pennsylvania.

For three days, we will have a great weekend full of fun, fellowship, and worship. David Clyde will be our speaker, as he challenges us all on what it means to be a discipleship of Jesus Christ.

We will be leaving from Tenth Presbyterian Church on Friday night at 6pm, and return to Tenth on Sunday around 4pm.

Registration and payments are due by Sunday, February 7th. For an official brochure, information on scholarships, and a list of what to bring, stop by the Delancey Lobby and pick one up on the Maranatha Bulletin Board. If you can't make it to Tenth and would like a copy of the brochure e-mailed to you, contact Ben Fallon: benfallon1@yahoo.com You can get a copy of the Liability Release Form on our Marnatha web site.

For more information, contact Jonny McGreevy or Dora McFarland.

Hope to see you there!

Dudes Day 2009

2009-11-17T13:03:00.000-08:00

Hey All,

It's time for the 2009 Dudes Day to take place! On Saturday, November 21st, starting at 2:30, all the Dudes from Maranatha are invited over to the Fallon's house for an afternoon of football, soccer, softball, wiffle ball, and any other fun game that dudes take part in!

We are meeting at the Fallon's House (see address) between 2:30 and 3:00pm, then heading over to the high school to play a variety of games. Please bring with you a baseball mitt, cleats, soccer balls, footballs, even tennis rackets - there is something for everyone to do.

After we finish playing, Jonny will be providing dinner at the Fallon's house at 6pm. Following that, some of us will be sticking around to go to Jean-Francois' play at Phil-Mont - tickets are 7 dollars. Please let Ben Fallon know if you would like to go...we are trying to reserve tickets beforehand. If you can't stay for the play and need/want to go home, that's totally fine as well.

If you need a ride to or from (or both), please contact Ben Fallon. There are people that can carpool - but you need to let Ben know ahead of time.

This is a going to be a lot of fun - tell your Maranatha friends that don't have Facebook, and bring some of your friends that don't go to Maranatha!

Hope to see you there!
