2009 Mission Trips!

We have the 2009 Mission Trips set!! How exciting! For the Senior High we are going to San Diego, CA the week of June 21-26.  We will most likely leave the Friday prior to the trip which is June 19th.  We will return on June 27th.  For the Mid High trip we are going to Carthage, TX the week of July 12th-17th.  We will leave the Saturday prior and return Saturday July 18th.  I hope that you all are marking your calendars and setting those weeks aside for a great time of ministry and growth!!  I know that it is a long time away but begin now to pray and seek God about these upcoming opportunities!

Pie and Cake Auction - Jack O Lantern Slime Time!!

We had a wonderful turn out for our pie and cake auction this past Sunday! We broke yet another record of the amount raised!! It is such a blessing to be a part of a Body of Believers who are so supportive of all that the youth do! I couldn't ask for a better group of people to work with!! We have another big event coming up on October 26th Jack O Lantern Jamboree which will actually be Slime Time this year, which is a follow up to the Power Lab VBS we did back in the Summer! The Christian Living Sunday School gave us a small push toward the idea and we are going for it.  We will start preparing for this event the 1st Sunday of October which is October 5th then also again on October 19th both at 4pm. It will be a great time to minister to the kids of our church as well as the kids of our community!!  If any of you are interested in helping out please let me know and come October 5th and we will find you a place to help out!! Thanks again for all of your support during the Cake and Pie Auction and for just being supportive of all that we do!!!

Much Love!!

Keeping Things Updated

Hey all,
 
I am sorry that I have not kept things up to date on here like I really wanted to or like i should. But I am going to try to be better at that!  We have a few things coming up here pretty quick.  On Sunday September 21 we have our 3rd Annual (Doesn't seem like it could really be the 3rd one) Brisket Meal and Pie and Cake Auction.  I need the Youth to try and round up a couple of cakes or pies to be auctioned off.  This fund raiser helps pay for the mission trips we have coming up in 2009.  Also cakes are welcomed from anyone who desires to donate a pie and or cake to be auctioned off.  The meal will consist of Brisket, Potato Salad, Green Salad, Rolls, and if you so desire you can purchase a cake or pie in the auction and eat it right there on the spot!!  If any of you have questions about anything please give me a call up at the church or on my cell phone, those numbers are on the bottom of the Youth Newsletter.  I hope that I can keep this more readily updated!!  Until next time. Blessings!
