Summer - Ready, Set... GO!

Kidcraze - This Sunday - 4:30pm-7:00pm - The Building
This Sunday the children’s ministry is providing the parents a night out to themselves with a chance to drop their kids off at the building.  The teens will be helping to entertain the Kids for this but we are in need of a few adults who would be willing to be there as well.  Let me know if this is a way you would be willing to serve. Dinner provided.

Interns
Our Summer interns will be arriving in town on May 20th to spend the next couple of months helping make our summer stupendous.  The girl intern is Ashlynn McNeal.... most of you probably know Ashlynn as she was here for a couple of months this winter helping out.  Ashlynn is from Lebanon, TN and will do an outstanding job working with our girls.  The guy intern is Cody Price.  Cody is from Cincinnati, Ohio and is a student at Lee University in Cleveland, TN.  So glad Cody will be with us this summer and look forward to everyone getting to know him.  

Summer Kick-off Cookout - May 21 - 6:30pm - Bowers Park
Sunday evening May 21 we will be having a Kick-off Cookout to welcome Interns, new additions to the youth group and officially kick-off our summer.  Sign-ups to bring stuff coming soon.

Wednesday Nights this summer
Starting May 24 the teens will not meet on Wednesday nights during the summer months. Two reasons for this.  1) When you factor in VBS, Trips, and family fun nights there aren't many Wednesday nights that would end up happening anyway.  2) By doing so, it will allow us to pour energy and resources into starting something new…. see below.

Abide - A night of worship and reflection
Sprinkled through out the summer we will gathering for something we are simply calling "Abide".  This will take place five different times across the summer weeks.  This will simply be an evening of worship and reflection focused on what it means to Abide in Christ.  Dates of these nights are listed below in upcoming dates.  

Vacation Bible School - June 5-8
VBS will look a little different this year and I believe will be super awesome.  It will be taking place at the building and will be in the evenings from 6:00pm-8:00pm.  If any of you would be interested in helping in any way click HERE to register as a volunteer and indicate in what way you can help.
