Hallelujah!!

Do you think church would be more entertaining if I preached like this guy?


Youth Overnight Update

Hey Everyone!

I reserved six lanes (six persons per lane) at Holiday Lanes in Johnson City for Friday night's Cosmic Bowling. We have them reserved for midnight to 3 a.m. I can get more if needed, if I let them know very soon, like tomorrow or Wednesday. Even if we have more than 36 we can switch around.

Now, I need to take some reservations even if they are maybes. Here is who I have going so far:

Travis and eleven friends. (It is his birthday, so we are giving him a big party!)
Jason and maybe a friend
Taylor and a friend
Allison S. and a friend
Natalie and a friend
Rion and two friends
Pat and a friend
Kirby and two friends
Heidi and two friends
Isaac
Dylan
Sam
Merilee
Alison W.

Who am I missing? This is from memory. So let me know if I missed you or missed if you are bringing a friend or not. Also, I know Heidi and Kirby and friends are just going for the bowling.

Here is the schedule:

8 pm church
9 pm movie at church
11:30 on the road to bowling
3:00 am on the road back to church
4:00 am sleep? (I hope!)
9:00 am wake up!
10:00 parents pick up.

I see I may need to get another lane or two already, especially since parents will want to bowl as well.

Now, parents: who can drive and how many can you take?

All right. Next item. Come to Sunday School (9:45 am) as we make plans for Mardi Gras. There will be S.S. at 9:45 every Sunday!!!

Item three:
We just had our Christian Education meeting. Incredible job, Linda! We want to keep youth group going. This schedule seems to work well. So, we are going to have youth group from 5:30 - 7 pm every Sunday. I will work with other adults to keep it happening. We will have some fun discussion, games, plan for big events. We will break up into middle school and high school.


On the tenth, we finish sex, drugs and rock and roll, then move on to other cool topics. I want to plan a big trip to Atlanta (?) this summer. I have some ideas.

So...Friday night overnight and bowling
No group Sunday the 3rd. Watch the Super Bowl.
We start again the 10th and every week following!!!!

Cool!

Youth Overnight!

Hey Everyone!

This Sunday, the 27th, parents need to come with youth for the last session on the sex part of Sex, Drugs, and Rock & Roll. This has been an excellent series and this is the chance to open up lines of communication about these things. So, parents and youth from 5:30-7:00. Then, pizza for everyone at 7 p.m. Parents are encouraged to bring their favorite Rock and Roll tunes (cds, mp3s, etc.) and we will have a rock off, (one parent tune, one youth tune and so on).

Friday night (February 1) we are going to have an overnight that will start at 8 p.m. at the church. We will do some games, watch the classic film, "School of Rock" and at 11:30 we will go to Holiday Lanes in Johnson City for Cosmic Bowling from midnight to 3 a.m!! We will celebrate Travis Marshall's birthday there! Then back to the church for sleep. Breakfast at nine a.m. Parents pickup at ten a.m.

I am going to need some transportation to and from the church to the bowling alley. If parents can help me with that part, you won't need to stay the night.

The bowling costs $45 per lane. We can have six people per lane. Bowling will be $7.50 per person. You all need to pay for your own bowling. The rest will be covered with our youth budget. I need a number of bowlers to reserve the lanes.

So, I need to know who is coming and if you are bringing a friend. I need their names too and I need you all (including friends) to download and fill out the permission form and consent form on the youth page.

Let me know this Sunday if you are going to be there! It'll be great!!
