Super Bowl Party





The Super Bowl party is this Sunday, February 4th. Meet at the church at 4:15 or at the Scott's house at 4:45. There will be literally TONS of food. Girls need to bring a snack (of any variety-sweet or salty) and guys need to bring a soda TO SHARE. We will head back to the church after the game. We will just call parents when the game is over. Come to root on the Indianapolis Colts or Da Bears. See you all there!

30 Hour Famine



The all-famous 30 Hour Famine is coming up Friday, February 23rd through Saturday the 24th. No eating is allowed after 6:00 AM on Friday and eating resumes at noon on Saturday. We will meet at church at 6:00 PM for the lock-in part. There will be lots of fun games and sorry, but no food, but there will be lots of juice. I know everyone is thinking why in the world would you want to stop eating for 30 hours? In all seriousness, this is a great experience. It is totally worth the hunger to raise money for those little kids that really need the food. There will also be a worship service and videos to watch of the kids we are feeding. Get a packet from one of the leaders soon so you can start raising money. Our goal for the last two years has been $3600 which is feeding ten kids for a year. We have yet to reach that amount, and we are hoping that this year is the year. Really guys, this is a great opportunity, and if I can do it, anyone can! See everyone at youth!

Road Trip... LATER!

Well, winter weather has struck again! We will NOT be doing anything youth-related tomorrow (Saturday, January 13th). With all of the ice on the road we will have to postpone the road trip. Check back on the blog and we will try to reschedule our trip to Kansas City. So, stay inside, home, safe, and warm this weekend, and we will let you know when new plans are made!

ROAD TRIP!!!!

Well, it's time for the annual road trip! We're mixing things up a bit and going to Crown Center in Kansas City. It's January 13th. We will be loading onto the bus and leaving from the church at 7:00 AM (I know it's kind of early, but we want to do as much as we can!). We will stop somewhere to eat breakfast on the way. We should be back somewhere between 10:00 and 11:00 PM, but we will call parents as we approach church. Some things at Crown Center: Ice Skating ($6 to skate and another $2 to rent the skates), movie theaters, there's even a spa if you need some relaxation time!, plenty of restaurants to eat at, and lots of shops (some things you would never see anywhere else-like the Crayola store!). The website of the mall is www.crowncenter.com if you want to check out what's there! After we leave the mall, we will head to Pizza Street for dinner! Lots of you remember Pizza Street from the trips to school mission trips to KC, so come and join us! Hope you all can make it!

And a little side note, anyone who wants to go to lunch with Josh this Wednesday (the 10th) can meet at Gus' after the 5th hour final is over (12:30).

Here's a picture of the fountain at Crown Center!

And this is the ice skating rink! Hope to see you all there!
