Kick-off, Way down yonder, kids, free stuff and money

It is official… summer is here.  I am giddy with excitement for the opportunities this summer has for our group.  The summer months are so very important in the growth and development of a youth group and I can not wait to see what God is going to do with our time together.  Below is probably more information than you want but all very important if your teen has any desire to jump on the summer choo choo train.  

Summer Kick-off Cook-out - Sunday, May 22 - 6:00pm
Bowers park-Minnie Sellers Pavilion
We are going to get together as families to kick-off the summer and welcome interns and new 7th graders to the our group.  I really do want to see everyone attempt to be here for this. Not only will it serve as a great time to get together but I want to use this as a chance to sort of set our path for the summer and get everyone on the same page.  Burgers and Hotdogs will be provided but I need your help filling in the gaps on other things.  Click HERE to sign up to bring something.  

Chattahoochee Rafting Road Trip - May 29-31 - $50
We will be heading to Columbus, GA/Phenix City, AL to do a little white water rafting with WhiteWater Express and will be camping 2 nights at Pine Mountain Camping.  The cost is $50 and will cover the rafting, campsite and 3 meals.  Two additional meals will need to be covered on their own.  Deadline to sign up by payment will be Sunday, May 22.

Nicaragua “Garage” Sale - Saturday, June 4
In July there will be a team of teens and parents going to Nicaragua to work with the people in a village called Ojoche.  We are taking on a couple of different fund raising endeavors and need your help with one of them.  On June 4, we are going to have a “garage” sale here at the building.  We are shooting to make this a big event that not only raises a little money but gives our team a chance to work together and can also serve as an outreach opportunity.  The idea is to have a garage sale that has really good stuff and is really well done.  At this point you must be asking yourself “How can I help?”… I know you are.  Well, if your family has anything they would be willing to donate for us to sale, that would be incredible.  A great opportunity for you to clean out that garage, shed, or closet you've been meaning to get to.  If you have anything at all, please let me know and we can even come get it from your house if you would like.  Thank you in advance for your help with this.  

Vacation Bible School - June 6-9 - 9:00am-11:30pm - Kentuck Park
All those who are willing to help out and Volunteer, please let me know!
