Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2

This is a reminder that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 premieres tomorrow (July 15).

If anyone is interested in going, get your ticket for the 7:25pm showing as soon as possible.  There's a very good chance it will sell out.

I will be at the boardwalk at at 6:30pm in front of the movie theater to meet up with those that are coming.  If you are coming, make sure you let me know so that I know to wait on you.

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.

Senior Sunday [May 1st]

It's that time of year again (well... nearly).  The time that some of you look forward to.  The time that some of you dread.  And the time that some of you are experiencing these emotions at the same time.

However you look at it, I hope it's positive!

Senior Sunday this year will take place on May 1st.  We'll honor the Seniors that morning during service and then celebrate with them that night.

For Seniors and their parents:  this means I need pictures.  The goal is to get 20 pictures for each Senior.  I will use these pictures to make a slideshow to present on Sunday morning.  If they're already digital, that's awesome!  If not, we'll scan them in.

Seniors: I will provide you with an information sheet to fill out.  It will include some basic questions for you to brag on yourself a little.  Then on Sunday morning I'll read these to the congregation.  Also, I will be setting up times with each of you to record your "farewell."  These "farewells" will be compiled into a video that will be shown at the evening celebration.  Start thinking about what you want to say!

Please get your pictures to me as soon as possible.

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.
