No Fuel!

2012-01-18T14:09:00.000-08:00

If you haven't looked outside yet, Youth Group is cancelled tonight. So go frolic in the snow and then rush inside for some hot chocolate.

I hired this guy to clear our driveway:

He's pretty good, works for tuna.

Stay safe, stay warm and use this time to play with your family.

Youth Group Tomorrow?

2012-01-17T16:03:00.000-08:00

So we supposedly have Snowmageddon arriving but if my yard still looks like this tomorrow:

Then I think we'll still meet at church at our normal time for some hangout and some games and maybe even some hot chocolate. We'll reschedule our first Group Nite of the year for February 1st.

But if you look outside and see this:

Then you should probably stay home and play monopoly with your family. Or go sledding.

Keep checking back here (www.hccfuel.com) or call the church office (851-8450) for any updates.

Remember that our Winter Retreat (Feb. 3-5) is just around the corner so get your registration in! If you have any questions or would like more info about scholarships, you can find the forms on our website (www.hccfuel.com) and/or contact Jen at church (851-8450).

Mass Hangout and Winter Retreat!

2012-01-10T17:03:00.000-08:00

The first Mass Hangout of the year is tomorrow! Come and bring a friend to simply hang out and play some games. Mass Hangout was started so that students would have a very easy night to invite friends, especially those that haven't come before. It's a night of some down time to catch up with each other and where your cool leaders can meet your friends as well as some big games to have a ton of fun with!

So who are you bringing?

Parents: Your student inviting a friend is only the first hurdle, the second is getting that friend to physically come! And you can help by offering to drive them! This doesn't even need to necessarily add more work for you, maybe ask if the other family could pick them up (after 7:15pm).

Also remember that you don't have much time left to sign up for our winter retreat coming up this Feb. 3-5! Registration, Medical Release (only need to fill out once a school year) and Scholarship forms are available at our website (www.hccfuel.com) and at the church outside of the youth pod (room 106).

New Year Bash!

2012-01-04T15:16:00.000-08:00

Youth Group starts back up tonight (normal time of 5:43-7:15pm)!

We'll be playing games and talking about this past year and the one ahead of us!

Bring a friend and get ready to have some fun!

Last day for Winter Retreat discount!

2011-12-31T11:55:00.001-08:00

Well I guess you have one more day to save a few bucks on our upcoming winter retreat in February, get your registration in by tomorrow! You can either place it in the youth Dropbox outside of the Youth Pod at room 106 or put it in the church's mailbox!

Remember that there is only one service tomorrow at 10am (I'll also be preaching for part of it).

Happy New Year and we'll see you this coming Wednesday as we kickoff youth group in 2012!

Group Nite and Poinsettias

2011-11-29T17:12:00.001-08:00

Tomorrow we'll wrap up our 3 week Group Nite series on the Bible by playing some games and talking about the benefits of memorizing Scripture.

For Parents, good questions to ask your students:

How mighte memorizing verses from the bible help you in everyday situations?
If we didn't have the Bible, how would we learn about God and his desires for our lives? Would that even be possible?

If you sold Poinsettias for our Summer Mission Trip fund raiser, they will be available to be picked up This Thursday afternoon and all day Friday. Please make arrangements to pick them up and deliver them this weekend. Please make sure that you keep them out of the cold (left on someone's doorstep or in the car in the garage overnight) so as to keep them from wilting too early. There may be an opportunity to sell more this weekend so if you are interested, please contact Jen!

Remember that our Winter Retreat forms are out and available at youth group, in the Ed. Building at the church and on our website: www.hccfuel.com! Forms turned in BEFORE the end of the year get a discount! And remember, scholarships are always available!

Next week (12/7) will be a fun youth group of Christmas themed games and a talk about what Easter has to do with Christmas! Then our last youth group of the year will be Dec. 14 and they will be Small Group Christmas Parties! These will be the same small groups we've been meeting in during our Group Nites (6-7th grade girls, 8th grade girls, all guys). Where and when will be posted the next two weeks so be sure to check back!

Thanksgiving Eve and Unofficial Movie Night

2011-11-22T09:05:00.001-08:00

Our Thanksgiving Eve Service is tomorrow from 7-8pm-ish, so we WON'T have our regular Youth Group Night but encourage all our students and their families to come to the service instead! It's a cool, laid back service where we take a moment to reflect on what we can be thankful for this past year.

Afterwards there's been a 10+ year tradition called the "Unofficial Movie Night" where a bunch of us all head to a movie at Galaxy Theaters together. It's called "Unofficial" because we won't buy your ticket (which we recommend you do before going to the service) or give everyone rides from service. But we'd be thrilled if you came and hung out with us! There's nothing like going to a movie with 80+ people made up of our Middle School and High School students and their friends and family, not to mention former students back on break!

The movie this year is "Arthur Christmas 3D"! And the time will be 9:15pm!

Can't wait to see you there!

Turn Poinsettia Forms In Sunday!

2011-11-20T01:13:00.001-08:00

Your Poinsettia Mission Trip Fundraiser forms need to be turned in Sunday!

If you can't get them in the drop box (outside Room 106 in the Ed. Building) while the church is open, contact Jen (241-3760) and let him know that you'll be dropping them into the church mailbox.

The Poinsettia Fund Raiser is one of a handful of fund raisers that we will be doing for our mission trip to 'The Yak' this summer. Registration for this mission trip will come out soon. Dates are on our online calendar (found on the bottom of our website: www.hccfuel.com) and will be from July 8-14.

Poinsettias will be delivered to the church, Friday Dec. 2nd. Please make arrangements to pick up the ones you sold so that you can deliver them that weekend.

Please contact Jen with any questions.

Also remember that there will be NO YOUTH GROUP this Wednesday due to our church's Thanksgiving Eve Service from 7-8pm. We do however encourage all our students to come to this laid back service and bring their friends and family. This short service is an opportunity for us to gather together to reflect over the past year and thank God for how he has been present in our lives.

After the service many Middle School, High School and even former students (and their friends and families) are known to go to the family friendly movie at Galaxy. We call it the "Unofficial Movie Night" because we don't buy your tickets or arrange rides for anyone. Though we'd be super excited to see you there! This 10+ year tradition usually has 80+ people connected to HCC attend the same movie together! We'll post Monday night which movie we're planning on going to and we recommend buying your tickets before the service starts.

Group Night and Winter Retreat Registration!

2011-11-11T13:28:00.001-08:00

This Wednesday after some games we'll continue week two of our new Group Nite Series on the Bible! This week we simply talk about how to navigate the Bible and why it's important for us to do so if we call ourselves Christians.

Question suggestions for Parents:

Which parts of the Bible are easiest for you to read? Which ones most difficult? Why?
What was the most interesting thing you learned about the Bible today?
Why is it important for us to try to do what the Bible says?

Winter Retreat Registration is out! Consider coming out to Camas Meadows with us the first weekend of February! Click here for the Registration. Save money by turning it in before the end of the year! And as always, scholarships are available! Those forms can be found on the right hand side of our website at www.hccfuel.com .

Also remember that this is the last week to turn sell poinsettias as a fund raiser for our mission trip this summer to Yakima! Forms can be found at the church and need to be put in the youth dropbox or the church mailbox by THIS SUNDAY. Any Poinsettias you sell you'll need to pick up from the church on Dec. 2 to deliver. Mission Trip Registration will be out later this month and the trip dates are July 8-14. Please contact Jen with any questions. This is the first of a handful of fundraisers we will be doing all year long.

Mass Hangout!

2011-11-08T16:55:00.000-08:00

Our first Mass Hangout of the year!

Bring your friends and gear up for a night of running around and playing games!

Mass Hangout is built around being an easy night to bring a friend and give them a chance to play and meet others that go to youth group and give them an opportunity to get to know your cool leaders!

So don't be shy, who are you bringing?

Group Nite IV!

2011-11-01T16:31:00.000-07:00

Tomorrow we start a new three week (Nov. 2, 16 and 30) series focused on the Bible. After a few games we will talk about foundational topics—in other words, learning facts about the Bible. We'll focus on 2 Timothy 3:14-17, which encourages us to recognize and remember that the Bible is inspired by God, helps us know what is right and what is wrong, and is used to prepare and equip us to do good things.

Parents:
I encourage you to spend time talking with your student about this week’s lesson. Here are some questions you might want to ask:
•If you could sit with God over lunch at your favorite fast food restaurant,
what would you ask? What would you like to know about God?
•What role do you believe the Bible plays in the lives of people who
follow Jesus?
•How might your life look different if you “leaned” more on the truths you
find in the Bible?

Next week will be our first "Mass Hangout" of the year! Mass Hangout is a night were all we do is play games and hang out together. It's set up to be a very easy night to invite friends and give our youth leaders time to play and talk with our students and their friends. So start thinking about who you are going to bring!

Fall Retreat Update!

2011-10-22T20:28:00.001-07:00

Here's our Fall Retreat Packing List:

And click here for a link to the packing list.

If you're going, please remember to bring a packed dinner! Also please note the updated extra activities you can sign up for (these are just the ones that cost extra - plenty of other stuff to do there!).

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

As for today, we will be finishing our first Group Series with our third lesson on I-dentity. Previous group nites have been on "Who I Am" and "Who I'm Not" and tonight we'll talk about "What I've Been Created to do."

We'll start in the Sanctuary and after our welcome and a few games, we'll break into these groups: 6-7th grade girls, 8th grade girls and all guys.

For Parents -

If you'd like to discuss this lesson with your student, here are some questions to consider asking:

How can serving other people help you grow as a follower of Jesus?
Tell me about a time when you made a positive difference in someone else’s life. How did that experience affect you?
What do you think are some unique things that you contribute to your small group, youth group, or church?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

And some more pictures of Jen and Rachel's newborn son, Eli and his "I don't know if I like this car seat" look, are on the way!

Eli James was born last Thursday (13th) at 11:59pm. He has 10 fingers, 10 toes, 2 proud parents and a pretty cute face!

Pizza & Praise This Wednesday!

2011-10-10T17:39:00.000-07:00

Our first Pizza & Praise of the school year is coming up!

For those of you that haven't been to one, we'll meet in the Education Building and have dinner together (so bring $3 and come hungry!) and finish the night with some worship (Heather will be leading us in some songs!).

It's a great night so we'll see you there!

Group Nite II

2011-10-05T11:06:00.000-07:00

Tonight we're continuing our Group Nite series about Identity. Every other week we'll meet at our regular time (5:43-7:15pm) but after playing some games we'll break into smaller groups and go through this Bible Study together! Two weeks ago we talked about what it meant to find our identity through Jesus Christ and that a friendship with Him is the only "hat" God wants us to wear because it should affect every part of our lives. Today we're going to be looking at three things God wants us to avoid to help us lead a better life. Those choices are: Don't let other people's opinions define you, don't focus on just yourself, and don't focus on other people's appearances.

After our welcome and a few games, we'll break into these groups: 6-7th grade girls, 8th grade girls and all guys. We'll start in the Sanctuary but to help High School set up for their Lip Sync night, we'll end in room 101 in the Education Building.

For Parents -

If you'd like to discuss this lesson with your student, here are some questions to consider asking:

Why does the Bible say that trying to win people's approval can create problems?
What are some of the signs of a person who lives selfishly? What are some of the signs of a person who lives selflessly?
Think about the last time you were judged or evaluated based on how you looked or dressed or acted. How did you feel? What did you learn from this experience?

We are still accepting registration for our Fall Retreat to Camp of the Cascades later this month (Oct. 21-23). Registration can be picked up at church or downloaded from our website (hccfuel.com). Scholarships are also always available.

We are also going to have registration for our summer mission trip to Yakima ("The Yak") available next month so please keep your eyes out for it! Our first fund raiser will be the first two weeks of November selling Poinsettias so start thinking about family, neighbors, and businesses that might buy them!

Staff Q&A Night!

2011-09-27T14:32:00.000-07:00

Come tomorrow night for our annual Staff Q&A Night! We've been collecting your questions over the last few weeks and we'll spend the evening playing games and hearing our awesome volunteers try to answer all of them!

So bring a friend and come ready for games and a chance to learn more about your leaders!

Also our Fall Retreat is next month (Oct. 21-23) and you can save $15 if you get your registration form (Click here for link) in by Oct. 5th! Remember that we always have scholarships available (Click here) and everyone needs to have a Medical Release Form (Here) filled out which is good for all our trips through this school year.

All these links are also permanently posted on the right hand side of our website www.hccfuel.com.

Group Nite I

2011-09-19T13:25:00.001-07:00

Tonight we'll start off a new type of night for us called Group Nite. Every other week we'll meet at our regular time (5:43-7:15pm) but after playing some games we'll break into smaller groups and go through Bible Studies together!

We'll start by breaking into these groups: 6-7th grade girls, 8th grade girls and all guys. If groups get too large (we hope we have this "problem"!) we'll consider breaking them down even more.

Our first series is on Identity and tonight we'll cover who we are. We'll talk about the different pressures students feel to act a certain way to certain groups they are around and what it would look like if we simply were who God wants us to be to all of them instead.

For Parents -

If you'd like to discuss this lesson with your student, here are some questions to consider asking:

We talked about the different "hats" we wear in life. What are some hats they see themselves as wearing? What are some hats you as a parent/adult wear?
We encourage them to see that God wants us to wear one hat everywhere we go - a follower of Jesus. What might it mean to wear that "hat" every day? How would life look different?

Pac Nite XIV!

2011-09-12T23:16:00.001-07:00

It's back! Our annual Fall youth group kick-off is coming, are you ready? Who are you inviting?

Make sure you bring a friend and know what theme your group is going for.

Don't be late, especially if your team still needs to put its finishing touches on your trike!

For those of you new to the Trike Race, each of the 4 teams pick a theme, build a trike and race them around the church property completing different activities at stations all around the course.

Much fun will be had and then we'll finish off the school year next week with a combined (middle school and high school) youth group from 6-8pm.

As part of this night you will have the opportunity to sit in on part of a middle school youth group and see it in action!

Trikegate Party!

2011-05-16T20:04:00.000-07:00

That's right, our annual Trike Race is only a few weeks away! This Wednesday we will be breaking up into our 4 teams and deciding what theme you'll be going for and what you will make it out of.

For those of you new to the Trike Race, it'll be the 14th one we've done here at HCC! At the end of every year, our small groups build a trike to race around a course at church. It's a ton of fun so get your friends involved! The groups this year will be 6th grade guys, 7-8th grade guys, 6-7th grade girls and 8th grade girls.

Wednesday will be mostly a brainstorming night but if you have props for themes or something to build off of, bring them! In previous years we've had trikes built out of trash cans, lawn mowers, shopping carts, boogie boards, baby strollers, wheel chairs...even trikes! Get creative and get down here this Wednesday!

Our summer camp forms for Camp Spalding our out! Spots are limited so get them in!

We're also having a parent night for those parents with incoming 6th graders. Don't miss it! If you have any questions please get a hold of Jen or Mike at the church.

Daylight Savings!

2011-03-12T15:55:00.000-08:00

Just a reminder that you need to "Spring Forward" and set your clocks ahead an hour tonight!

I know, it's sad we loose an hour of sleep but just think-an extra hour of sunlight in the evenings!...Course the sun would need to be out...Yeah you're right this stinks.

Either way, set your clocks before you go to bed so you don't wake up late for church!

Ash Wednesday!

2011-03-07T18:36:00.000-08:00

There will be NO Youth Group for either Middle School or High School THIS Wednesday because...

Our church will be having an Ash Wednesday Service from 7-8pm and we want all our students (and their family/friends) to come to this instead!

Ash Wednesday starts off the 40 days of Lent that lead up to Easter. It will be a very reflective time and a great way to start preparing ourselves for Easter.

Slideshow and next week

2011-03-04T13:34:00.000-08:00

Here's The Winter Dessert Slideshow!

The link to the High School Slideshow of Beach Freeze is here: http://vimeo.com/20088159

Remember that next Wednesday is Ash Wednesday so instead of having youth group, we encourage our students to bring their friends and families to the Church-wide Ash Wednesday Service from 7-8pm. It's a great way to prepare for the Lent season leading up to Easter.

Youth Group for Middle School will then go back to it's original time of 5:43-7:15pm on March 16th with Fort Wars! (Stay tuned!)

Instead of Youth Group THIS Wednesday we will be having a movie night from 7:15-9:15pm! Bring a friend, bring a snack to share, bring something comfy to sit on (like a blanket or pillows).

(If the timing sounds odd, it's to make it easier for parents who also have to pick up and drop off their High School students who have a movie night from 7-9:30pm.)

Next Wednesday will be our Annual Winter Dessert which is for the whole family. We feed you some dessert and see and hear what went on during the middle school and high school winter retreats. And this still worth going to even if you didn't attend either trip! It gives you an opportunity to see what went on in case you'd like to go next year as well as for 8th graders to learn about trips for next year.

Poinsettias Are Here!

2010-12-02T10:53:00.000-08:00

So our Poinsettias from our Mission Trip Fund Raiser are in the Youth Pod!

If you sold any please swing by the office today or tomorrow to pick them up so you can deliver them!

We suggest you pick up them up today ESPECIALLY if you sold some to your teachers at school so that you can bring them tomorrow (Friday) instead of Monday.

It would be a good idea to call people about delivery's ahead of time because you won't be able to leave these flowers outside in the cold because they are very sensitive. Try also not to leave them in a cold car or garage for an extended amount to time.

Thanks and good luck!

Christmas 101 and Poinsettias!

2010-11-30T17:41:00.000-08:00

This Wednesday we'll get you in the Christmas Spirit with our night of "Christmas 101!"

We'll play a bunch of games and talk about the importance of why we celebrate this day.

A prize for the one wearing the "best" Christmas sweater!

Also a reminder to those that sold Poinsettias for our mission trip fund-raisers, you'll need to pick them up by Friday evening. They will also arrive Thursday afternoon for those wanting to get a head start on delivering (just give me or Heather a call to make sure when they arrive on Thursday). Please remember to not leave them out in the cold (on doorsteps, etc) because they tend to be very sensitive to the low temperatures!

Next week we have our small group (guys and girls) Christmas Parties so make sure you grab your postcard at Youth Group on where it'll be!

Thanksgiving Eve Service and Unofficial Movie Night!

2010-11-23T18:02:00.001-08:00

There is no regular youth group THIS Wednesday night!

Instead invite your family and friends to come to our church-wide Thanksgiving Eve Service from 7-8pm. It's a great little service we do every year where we get to share what we are thankful for and hear what the Covenant World Mission is doing around the world.

Afterwards is our annual "Unofficial Movie Night"! This isn't a youth event so much as a gathering of all the people we know. We will be seeing the new Disney 3D Movie "Tangled" at the Galaxy Theater's 9:15pm showing. Since this is an unofficial "event" we won't be buying your ticket or providing a bus there or make you fill out a medical release form. But we'll be there with 60-100 other people we know from HCC (middle school and high school youth groups, families, friends, former youth group students returning from college, etc.) and you should be too!

Urgent Poinsettia Fund Raiser Info!

2010-11-18T12:32:00.000-08:00

I was mistaken and your forms for the Poinsettia Mission Trip Fund Raiser need to be in by:

11AM This Friday (11/19)

Sorry for the confusion! If you have any questions, please contact Jen Easton (241-3760). Please turn them into the front office by 11am for your sold flowers to be included in our Dec. 3rd delivery!

Fly Away!

2010-11-16T19:57:00.001-08:00

This Wednesday we will be back to meeting at 5:43pm for an evening of games and then Jen will talk about his chance to ride around in a Cessna last week (come see how he links that to the Bible!).

Next week we will be doing another different night so pay attention! Instead of our regular scheduled youth group our church is having our annual Thanksgiving Eve Service from 7-8pm. We love this simple service and encourage all our students to bring their friends and family (to this church-wide event) to be able to remember what we all are thankful for.

Afterwards is our annual "Unofficial Movie Night"! We will be going to see the family friendly movie, Tangled:

at the next available time after the service (usually around 9pm) at our local Galaxy Theater. We call it the unofficial movie night because we won't be providing rides or buying your tickets. That's all on you! So start arranging rides and making planes (inviting friends) because there is nothing quite like watching a movie with 100 other people you know!

And finally just one more reminder that registration for our Mission Trip to Gleanings is available and we are wrapping up our final week of our first fund raising opportunity. So keep selling your Poinsettias! Forms are available outside room 106 (The Youth Pod) and it is a simple and easy fund raiser! Just think of family, neighbors and local business's that would like to decorate with these very nice potted flowers!

No Regular Wed. Night - Overnighter!

2010-11-08T20:17:00.001-08:00

This Wednesday, instead of meeting at our regular time of 5:43pm, we're going to START youth group at 9pm right as High School is finishing! Then we will run around like crazy, play games, hang out, and watch movies until 10am the following morning (no school the following day due to Veteran's Day)!

Much fun to be had so don't miss it!

P.S. Our registration for our mission trip to Gleanings down in Fresno California is out so pick one up or download a copy from our website! We already have a fund raiser going on right now so grab some poinsettia forms from the church and start thinking of neighbors, family, and even business's that might be interested in purchasing some! They will be available for delivery (by the students) by Dec. 3rd and all the proceeds go to your Mission Trip!

Chill at Chapel Hill Tonight!

2010-11-05T10:20:00.001-07:00

Just a reminder that the first all area Middle School Hangout "Chill" at Chapel Hill is tonight from 7-9:30pm! (Lower Parking Lot.)

The event is free but you'll need a student ID card to get in (if you don't have one, have a parent or friends parent walk you in).

*Also wanted to remind you that our Mission Trip Registration is available (and can be picked up at church or printed from our website). For those thinking about going, we currently have a Fund Raiser selling Poinsettias so grab a form and sell a few!

This Wednesday is another one of our IIT316 nights so bring a friend, bring a Bible as we play some games and then dig into a Bible story!

Next week we will have our Overnighter!

Cost is $5 and a registration form can be found at the church or on our website! Please get them in soon so I can prepare!

Summer Calendar and Yak: Day 3!

2010-07-14T07:53:00.000-07:00

Wednesday:

Today we switched from kids club to work projects. We got in the car and were soon at our work sites. We were the second group to paint this week. It was really fun trying to paint up high; the ladders were a bit wobbly. No fears though, we were all safe with the help of our ladder buddies. Our evening activity tonight was a trip to Imperial's Garden a farm that's nearby. It was a really fun experience to just walk down the fields and eat cucumbers and peppers. Can't wait for tomorrow!

-Lizzie

Our groups switched roles today with mine working on the house our other group had started. The homeowner's name is Monica and she was really sweet. I think we can finish up on our last day tomorrow, our group was all over it today. Our opposition will be the temperature which will be in the 90s. This will be fine for most of us, unless you're stylish like Spencer and need to paint in a pinstripe suit...

-je

P.S. Here is our Summer Station, this is a calendar of our next few months! Please check it out, there should be something to do each week. A hard copy will be mailed to you this week but if you ever need to check it out online a link to it is on the right hand side of our webpage (www.hccfuel.com).

Summer 2010 Station Cal

Yak: Day 2 and 3

2010-07-13T23:49:00.000-07:00

Monday:

Yesterday was so much fun! Devo time was nice and peaceful. I'm gettiing to know more of what it's like being a mission worker and helping people for them and not for summer spending money. I was lucky to hang out with a bunch of kids at "Kids Club" yesterday. Playing games and watching a skit for Bible stories. Then for our night activity we went to Wapato and listened to Cory and Philip (Native Americans from the Yakama Tribe)tell about the Yakama Native American culture and history. CLub was fun, I really liked the songs we sang.

-Mav

Tuesday:

Today was epic! Some people finished painting houses and my group finished our half of Kids Club. Kids Club was amazing because the kids that come are like the Energizer Bunny! We also had many theme songs such as "Sweet Caroline", "Don't Stop Believing", and "Fruit Salad" (an incroyable song by the Wiggles). We all are looking forward to serving more people tomorrow!

-Five Oh (Daniel)

Our students are doing awesome! It's been great watching them play with those kids, giving them piggy backs for hours and hearing about the work crews painting and interacting with the families that live there. Today we also went to a retirement home and our students were able to spend the morning with the residents there, painting nails and playing games. Another bonus Today was that Chandler made it over from being stuck in Panama after the High School Mission Trip! Funny to think that 24 hours ago she was over 3000 miles away. Tomorrow we switch up work duties and two of our groups will start painting houses and one will head over to Lions Park for Kids Club!

-Jen

Yak Mission Day 1

2010-07-11T23:17:00.000-07:00

Today was really fun. My car rocked out to Disney and the old Gleanings CD. At the rest stop some of us played Ninjas and had fun hanging out. Being back at Yakama is really fun. It brings back so many memories from 2 years ago. I am really looking forward to working with my friends, getting to know people, and learning about serving God.

-Maddie

The students were awesome today and the drive couldn't have gone smoother. Lots of meetings and mixers as we got to know everyone from the other three churches. Our group is being split into three different teams. Two of them will be doing the Kids Club program at the park and the other one will be painting! Lots of excitement, praying it lasts all night long and motivates them to get up in less then 7 hours to start our day! God is good!

-Jen

We will also be having a Yak Mission Meeting the hour before (from 5-6pm) so if you're signed up for the trip, come ready and on time (lots to do inside one hour!).

TRIKE RACE!

2010-06-01T16:30:00.000-07:00

That's right, the annual Trike Race is upon us!

Time to don your teams theme costumes and get ready for a flurry of wheels, pedals and fun!

We will be racing around the Church property completing tasks at different stations aiming to be the team with the best time.

Don't be late!

P.S. for those going on The Yak mission trip this summer, our meeting is being pushed back to June 9th! But car wash tickets are here so pick them up tomorrow and continue raising money for our trip!

Make A Difference Tomorrow!

2010-05-27T17:41:00.000-07:00

Hey everyone, don't forget that tomorrow from 3-4:30pm we're going to be M.A.D. Challenge that we talked about last week during our Make A Difference Panel Youth Group.

We'll meet at the church, to make cookies and cards that we will use for doorbell ditching to encourage those around us!

If one of your parents wanted to help drive, let me know!

See you there!

Small Group Trike Build!

2010-05-24T16:50:00.001-07:00

The Trike race is NEXT WEEK!

That's why THIS Wednesday we will be meeting in our groups (two guy groups and two girl groups) at the church to finish building our trike's and finalizing our themes. If you haven't been assigned a group, no worries! We'll get you and your friends set up when you get here!
