We've Got Another Fund Raiser on Tap

In addition to the other fund raisers designed to help cut down on your expenses associated with the mission trip this summer, we have another one scheduled.

It happens on Saturday, May 26, from 10AM to 6PM at Biggs, Eastgate. We'll be bagging groceries on the Memorial Day weekend, a time when we'll have an excellent chance of raising a good deal of money for the trip. Participants will be asked to arrive fifteen minutes early, just to get the lowdown.

For all of our other scheduled events for the next few months, go here.

Here are some of the youth activities nailed down for the next few months...

January 26/27: Bowling and Stuff Lock-in. We'll meet at Cherry Grove Lanes at 5:45PM. We have several lanes for two hours, 6 to 8PM. The cost is $11.00 per person and covers shoe rental, pizza, soft drinks, and lane rental. After we're done, we'll go to the church building to prep for the Bible Bowl and actually sleep. (Adults needed: 2 at the bowling alley and 1 males and 2 females for the overnight portion.) To help prepare for the Bible Bowl, we will also watch The Prince of Egypt.

February 25, 6:00PM: Rockquest. Depending on our group and how many adult belayers we provide, your cost could be anywhere between $15.00 to $22.50. Past trained adult belayers need to let me know of their availability.

March 4, 2:00 to 6:00PM, 2007 Southern Ohio Synod (ELCA) Bible Bowl. Here is the official web site for the event. Go there every day for updated information. There are also sample questions and memory verses that will be part of the competition. The focus of the Bible Bowl will be the Old Testament book of Exodus. I also suggest reading four chapters of Exodus every day. I would also advise that each day you pray God will teach you more about this fabulous book...not just to do well in the Bible Bowl, but also to grow in faith.

April 12, TGIFriday's. Information here. We should raise even more funds for the mission trip through this endeavor than we did the last time we did it!

April 29, Cookout, Sam's Club, 12:00-6:00PM. Same as last time, only warmer. Another difference: I've put in an application to get a $1000.00 matching grant.

Watch for a complete list of upcoming activities for the next three months or so, in the next several days.

Youth Meeting on January 14

There will be a brief meeting of our youth at 6:00 on January 14. We’ll look at the next few months and let you get back home to watch the NFL playpffs.
