Growth Weekend Info + RSVP
April 24-26th at Double Arrow Lodge – Seeley Lake, Montana!
Growth Weekend is a chance to rest and recharge spiritually as an entire region. Bring your spouse, your bestie, your mom! Our friends Tanya, Claire, and Craig have put together some really stellar content for us for this weekend. Full time staff are expected to attend, part time staff are invited! Please speak with your supervisor first if you are a part time staff member.
Cost is $350 PER PERSON (meaning $700 per couple). You have already budgeted some amount for this event. This cost covers the retreat, your travel is expensed to the area. If you are wanting to room by yourself, there will be an extra $250 charge that you will be responsible for.
Please complete this RSVP by MARCH 10
Wednesday Prayer on Zoom
Join us Wednesday mornings for prayer and scripture! Kate McGinnis in Missoula is faithfully bringing us through the Psalms, and we all get a chance to pray for each other and our areas. Can you think of a better midweek pick-me-up?!
Wednesdays, 7:15am PST/8:15am MST (click here for the zoom link!)
Compliance Reminder
Remember – Emma can only do so much. She will likely refer you to CALL the YL Help Desk to get it sorted out. If you want, you can even call them BEFORE you call Emma! The YL Help Desk can be reached at 877-957-2435
If you have a meeting with leaders “after hours”, PLEASE let us know ahead of time so that we can get someone scheduled to help you!
WC/SS Stipend
The first step for the stipend program is to get the usual Work Crew or Summer Staff application submitted FIRST! If you are ready to apply for the stipend, please contact Jim and he will hook you up.
Work Crew Placement – UPDATE!
Due to new information about additional WC spots, as well as assignment team folks bringing students, there may be a delay in some WC placements. If you are concerned or want to check on a status of an individual, please get in touch with Emma. We are doing the best we can with the time and information that we currently have!
