I wanted to go ahead and get this post out.  If you're interested in going on the mission trip you need to turn in your $50 deposit and application by March 13.  That night, we will have a Parent & Volunteer meeting at 6PM in the Teen Room.  This is mandatory if you or your child is going on the mission trip.  The trip will be discussed in much more detail along with other upcoming events.  Please make plans to attend.

We are going to Nashville, TN to participate in serving the community there as a part of Nashville Workcamp.


Dates:
June 4-12 (Saturday to Sunday)

Cost:
$230 -- covers all your meals and lodging.  If you need anything other than that, bring extra money.

Coming Soon:

What we'll be doing: 
We will be painting mostly.  We might be doing some light yard work as well.  And of course, we'll be building relationships inside and outside of our group.
On Saturday, the 11th, we'll be going whitewater rafting on the Ocoee.

Everyone must have a medical release form on file.  Fill this out as soon as possible.  You need it for other things like Paintball and Lock-ins anyhow.

Easter Eggstravaganza [Service Opportunity]

Easter Eggstravaganza!
April 23rd
10AM-1PM

The Children's ministry is doing their annual Easter shindig and this provides our annual opportunity to help out!  As it gets closer, we'll find out more specifics about how and where we can help. You will get service credits for helping.

As a side note: Someone asked me recently if you needed service credits to go on the mission trip this Summer. The answer is no because those going on the mission trip should already be in the habit of serving. If you are not willing to serve here and now then you are probably not willing to serve elsewhere.

You will need 4 service credits for Uplift. You have plenty of time to get them too.

Lunch and a Movie

Lunch and a Movie
On February 27, for those that are interested, we will eat lunch together after church and then come back to the building to watch a movie.  The movie we'll be showing is "To Save a Life."  It deals with suicide, pregnancy, bullying, drinking, and faith.  It is rated PG-13.  For this reason, everyone who will be viewing the movie must have a signed permission slip from a parent/guardian.  I will give permission slips out during class times for those that are interested.

If you are coming, make sure you bring money for lunch and a signed permission slip.

Parents, please follow these links for information concerning the movie before making a decision.

Uplift 2011 [Important Update]

Uplift 2011: June 18-23

Sign-ups for Uplift have started.  Unfortunately, the cost for attending Uplift has gone up slightly.  Normally, a $90 deposit is due in February.  This year, a $100 deposit is due in February.  The total cost is $210.  Sign-ups are a little different this year.  You are not signed up until you pay your deposit. This way there's no confusion about people signing up but not going or people not signing up at all and still wanting to go.

We are attending the second session this year.  I believe that a mission trip (June 5-11) is more important and for us to be able to go on the available mission we must attend the second session of Uplift.  I'm excited that we get to do both this Summer.  We will also still participate in Hub activities with the homeless as well.

You can check out the Uplift website: http://www.upliftonline.com.

We are in the process of recruiting drivers/chaperones now.  If this is you, let it be known.

Remember, money is not an issue.  If you want to be a part of any activity just talk to me or one of the deacons.
