Parent & Volunteer Meeting Follow-up

Last Sunday, we met to discuss what events were coming up, our Summer travel plans, and what the ministry needs from you.  With our new insurance in effect, all volunteers are required to fill out a Volunteer Application, sign it, and turn it in.  Also, the insurance company must have a copy of drivers licenses for everyone who will be driving.

Items discussed at the meeting:

Guys Camping Trip/Girls Night in place of a trip to Six Flags during Spring Break.  We need a host home for the girls and we are working on a location for the guy.

Paintball was originally planned for April 16.  There is a conflict though with Byrd High School prom and as a result, the date may be changed.

Senior Sunday is May 1st.  I need about 20 pictures from parents and info from Seniors.  I will also be setting up times to record a video of them saying their farewells.

Area-wide Lock-in will be May 6 and 7.  We'll need chaperones to be with students and be extra eyes.

New Class.  Starting March 20, we will start a 4-week class on digging into relationships and what they mean for us.  Since things like homosexuality and pornography will be discussed, there is a separate class for 6th and 7th graders.  Click here to find out more.

Mission Trip to Nashville Workcamp.  We will be whitewater rafting on the Ocoee.  Your $50 deposit and application were due March 13 so please get this in ASAP.  We still need volunteers to go with us.  There is a reduced cost for Adults.

Uplift is June 18-23.  Your $100 deposit is overdue.  Get that in along with your Uplift Release Form.  The additional $110 is due May 8th.

Mission:Here.  Last year we were able to have lunch with the Homeless in downtown Shreveport every Thursday in July.  I hope to be able to do this again.  We will also have an opportunity to partner with our own Lunch Kitchen and Community Garden.
