                             SERVICE OVER SELF (SOS) 
     Are you looking for a way to invest in the lives of our youth and in our community at the same time?  If so, SOS is just the project for you!!  SOS is next week, June 19 – 24th!  During SOS, our youth and the youth from many area churches do an amazing job of becoming the hands and feet of Jesus right here in Vicksburg.  They will spend the week improving the quality of life for families in our community. However, our youth cannot do this alone.  They need YOU to step up to the plate and partner with them to make this awesome experience happen!!  You can help in many ways - all week or one day.  We need you to serve as an on-site crew leader, supply runner, kitchen helper, or overnight chaperone.  There truly is a job for everyone during SOS! It's not too late to sign up!!  Contact Bob Moss or Lee Ann Whitley if you are able to volunteer.

      We also ask that you join us for two very special worship services during SOS Week.  We will begin the week on Sunday, June 19th, with a covered dish supper at 6:00 p.m. in Floral Hall, followed by our SOS Commissioning Service at 7:00 p.m. in the CSUMC Sanctuary.  We invite you to join us for supper and the Commissioning Service.  Thursday night, June 23rd, at 6:00 pm, we will have supper with the families who we’ve worked with during the week, followed by our closing worship service at 7:00 p.m.  This is truly the high point of our week as we worship with those we have served.  We hope you mark your calendars and join us for these events.

     If you know of youth in our community who are not CSUMC members but would like to join us for SOS, please provide Lee Ann with their names, parent’s names, and mailing address ASAP, and she will provide them with the appropriate forms.

     Lastly, we always appreciate homemade goodies, canned drinks, and bottled water for nighttime snacks during the week!!  You can’t begin to imagine the snacks that 70 teenagers will go through in a week!!  As a precaution, however,  we ask that you not put any nuts or peanut butter in any homemade snacks!! 

     Thank you, Crawford Street family, for your continued support of SOS!!
