September Events

Alrighty, here's the beginning of, hopefully, an up-to-date blog! I'll post the events at the beginning of every month and then other posts throughout the month. And we'll probably have a question of the week from Josh, but we'll see how it goes. Well, here goes...

Apple Picking: September 9th we are going to pick apples in New Franklin for the Central Missouri Food Bank. Meet at the church at 1:00 and afterwards, we'll head back to the church for food (hot dogs, s'mores, etc) and games. This is an awesome opportunity guys to really help the Food Bank, plus we already know that we won't have to package hot dogs (YEAH!!!)

Money/Stuff for the Basket: The youth group is putting together a basket to sell in the silent auction at the Fish Fry. Our theme is a family night, so bring food, soda, games, movies...whatever your family does for a family night, or you can just bring money and we'll go out and buy whatever else we need. Please have money and/or stuff by this Sunday night (September 10th).

Fish Fry: The Fish Fry is September 16th and the youth are in charge of volunteering for working with the kids games. If you show up and aren't signed up, we will put you somewhere!! It's all-you-can-eat fish and chicken with the fixins! There is also a petting zoo, a silent auction, a raffle (a shotgun, half a beef, $200 gift certificate to the mall, and a $200 gas gift certificate to Little General), a country store, live music, and a live auction.

Raffle Tickets: Don't forget to keep selling raffle tickets!! If the youth raise $500, we'll get a lock-in where we will shave Josh's legs following the Hickman vs. Rock Bridge football game in November. Plus for every $200 more, we will shave a youth leader's legs (you pick, James, Charlie, or Justin)! Keep selling, and remember that this is all to raise money for the new building that we'll get someday!!

See Josh if you want to be part of a student leadership program for the youth group!! We want to get everyone more involved to help in anything (like this blog, or welcoming new kids to the group, etc.) See Josh and he'll have an idea for you, or maybe think of your own!!

That's all for this month, as you can see, it's a pretty busy one! Look back for pictures from all of these events!!
