Check it Out!!!

YOUTH NEWS!

First off, I hope everyone is having a great summer : ).  I wanted to fill everyone in on dates and opportunities to get involved with youth this summer.  We have some awesome retreats and day trips coming up that I wouldn't want you to miss out on!

I finally have the dates for CONVO!!!
Convo will be July 13-15th at Seashore Assembly in Biloxi, MS
The worship band will be Eddie Willis and The Narrow Path and the
speaker is Reverend Patrick Quinn.
Price is $85, but remember that is why we fundraise!! So make sure you are at the fundraisers if you are plannin to go on trips!

Speaking of fundrasers...

Our first fundraiser is TOMORROW night from 5pm-11pm at the church.  We are calling it "Date Night" and parents will be bring their children for us to babysit while they go on a date!  All proceeds will be going towards our convo trip : ).  Youth, please be there at 4:30 so we can get settled before kids arrive.  See you there!

The second fundrasier we will be having is a Car Wash on Satruday, June 30th in SuperValu parking lot.  It will be sometime in the morning, but I will have details for you soon.  Mark your calendars!!

Have good fundraiser ideas??? Please send them my way!!

GEYSER FALLS TRIP (Personally one of my favorites!!)

ONE WEEK FROM TODAY, June 14th, we will be heading to Geyser Falls!  The park opens at 11 am and closes at 5 pm. General Admission is $38, but if I remember correctly.. last summer people brought report cards and got a great discount! 
I have been checking the weather, and as of now there is a 30% chance of rain on Thursday.. I will keep you updated on this and let you know if we need to cancel and reschedule our trip due to weather. (Cross your fingers that we won't!)
Parents, I am going to need a few drivers to help me get youth to Philadelphia,  Please let me know if you are available to go.  Thanks!

Last, but NOT least...

I need everyone's $2 for JJ this month.  I have to send in the money on Sunday.  Thanks  :)
