Hello Petrie Memorial UMC!
My name is Joe Cox and I am very excited to join you all in July. I was born in Oklahoma but raised in Elizabethtown, KY. I attended Lindsey Wilson College where I played tennis and graduated with a Bachelors in Christian Ministries. I have spent the last four years attending Asbury Theological Seminary pursing a Master’s of Divinity, which I completed this May. I have been in ministry for 10 years beginning in camping ministry at Camp Loucon. Youth Ministry is my passion and is what God has called and equipped me for. I believe that youth are not just the church of the future, but that they are also an important part of the current church.
I enjoy watching and playing all kinds of sports. I particularly enjoy the Cubs and all Louisville sports. I prefer spending time outdoors kayaking, hiking, fishing and I’m excited to explore Todd County. I look forward to joining you soon and I can’t wait to see what awesome things God has in store.
Camp Loucon is coming right up! This is a wonderful opportunity for kids to have fun and learn about God at a camp that is fairly close to home. This camp is in Leitchfield, KY and offers campers lots of outdoor activities and a week of worship and memory making. Approximately 10 of our kids from Petrie have expressed that they would like to attend this year. The cost is: $219 for 2nd – 4th grade; $369 for 5th-12th grade. The church pays for half of the cost for each child to attend. We are looking for sponsors to pay the remaining half (or a portion of it) for each of the children to go. This would be: $110 for 2nd – 4th grade; $185 for 5th-12th grade. However, any little bit would help. If you would like to donate, please contact Emily Myers or Vicki Ross. We hope to have many Happy Campers this year!!

Youth Presentation and Games for Noel
Noel is the young boy the youth are sponsoring through Compassion International. Noel will be 8 years old on February 14. We want to invite you to celebrate his birthday with us. We will have food, bible bingo, a presentation about Noel and an opportunity for you to fellowship with our youth group. You will also have an opportunity to bless Noel with a financial donation toward his birthday gift and monthly sponsorship. We hope you will take advantage of this opportunity to fellowship with our youth group and contribute to the escape from poverty for Noel.
If you plan to attend and have not already signed up, please contact the church office today or Thursday via email or phone (270-265-2298)

Dear Petrie Family,
Our next mission trip is scheduled for October 1-9, 2016 which corresponds to the Todd County Schools Fall Break. We will travel again with GO International. Our team leader will be Rev. Larry Cochran, a retired United Methodist pastor who has served in his appointment beyond the local church since 1985. Larry has led over 600 teams into Latin America and this will be one of the best ever. We will serve in remote areas on the perimeter of the Amazon Jungle with a medical team, evangelism to help with a church start, VBS for children, and some construction. The registrations are filling up fast. We have five from Petrie and others have signed up from other states. If you want to participate in this ministry, please contact me very soon. We expect the team to be full.
Thank you.
Ted Beam
