[TeenMinistry] Guys Night!!! - Teen Center Clean-up

Hey guys (not in the generic sense but as in all the males in the youth group J)

 

We need your help…there are some big piles of trash that need to be removed from the Teen Center so David and the other workers can move to the next step.  If you can be here Tuesday night at 6 PM to help haul trash out, we can use your help!

 

Eat dinner before you come – it should only take an hour or so.   Bring a few $$ and we will make a Run for the Border (Taco Bell) when we are done – your parents can pick you up there (we can call them on the way).  It should be no later than 8 PM.

 

We could probably use 1 or 2 men to help as well.

 

If you have any questions give me a call at 636-549-4505.

 

Because of the Cross,

Mike

[TeenMinistry] (no subject)

Hey guys, I’m sending this on behalf of Lynn Rardin and our fund-raising crew…The Waters have been gracious enough to open their garage for their neighborhood garage sale this Saturday – so we need you to step up for an hour or two on Saturday!!!  After you get done helping, you can go check out all the other sales!!!  Here is a link to a map to their house.

 

Attention Teens:

 

We need your help!  David and Donna Waters are having a subdivision sale this Saturday.  They volunteered to try to sell some of the items that were left from the teen sale. They have asked that a few teens come and help out. 

 

Can you donate an hour or two to help us raise money for the teen center?

If so, please call David or Donna Waters for more details (636.530.1827). They will tell you the time of the sale and where they live.

 

Thank you,

Lynn J

 

[TeenMinistry] Trunk or Treat - Teens we need your help!

>Hey Teens!  It's Trunk or Treat time!

This Sunday is Trunk or Treat and we need lots of help!

 

Join us in the church parking lot and have a great time playing games and handing out candy to the little kids!  We are going with the theme of Scooby-Doo.  This allows everyone to dress as a show character, a monster (nothing too scary), a 70's style hippie or just about anything!  We are planning to set up the bounce house and run some games for the kids.  We need everyone at church about 3:00 pm to help set up and it starts at 4:00 pm.  We are asking each family with a teen coming to contribute a bag of candy to pass out.  If you have other questions please contact Dawn Malcolm or Mike Brown. Thanks!

 

[TeenMinistry] Hayride!!!!!

Can anyone breathe this morning?  For some reason my allergies are in full swing today!  It couldn’t be that the Senior High had an all-out hay fight – could it!  Of course Nathan Stobie and Taylor Payne are innocent! J  Jr. High had their share of mischief as well.

 

We had a great time at the Simmons!  Thank you to Daryl and Kandie for opening up their place to us and for being so hospitable!  ALSO – thank you to all the parents who turned out to help!  Parent involvement in the youth ministry is a key to success not only in the ministry but in our families!  There are too many to name and I would forget someone if I tried but thank you so much!  Special thanks to Terry and Betty Smith who drove the van!  All together (including 8 guests from McKnight) we had about 60 people enjoy an evening together.

 

Here is a link to some of the pictures from the evening!  http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=61610&l=bc833&id=550140244  

 

God is doing great things through our teens!

[TeenMinistry] Harding Visit

This is just a reminder e-mail about the Harding visit….below is the e-mail that was sent before…the only thing that has changed is that you need to let me or Cecil know by THIS SUNDAY if you want to go!

****************************************************************************************************

If you are in Sr. High and interested in making a college campus visit to Harding keep reading –

The Johnsons will be going to Harding for Bison Daze and Homecoming on the weekend of November 1 – 4.

They will leave Thursday afternoon Nov. 1 around 4pm.   (Stop somewhere on the way for a fast food meal)

Arrive at Harding around 10pm hookup with roommates.

You can go to classes on Friday, meet with advisors, etc.

On Saturday, you can attend activities on campus.

On Sunday you will go to church, eat lunch in the cafeteria, then head for home.  You should be back around 6:30 to 7 PM on the 4th.

 

The cost is $60 and includes Bison Daze Registration and transportation.  You will be responsible for dinner while traveling on Thursday and lunch and dinner on Sunday all other meals are covered with your registration – as well as a t-shirt and your entertainment (homecoming football game & “Wizard of Oz” musical) for the weekend.  You will be housed with Lafayette students or other Harding students in the dorm.

 

You need to pay MIKE by THIS SUNDAY, OCTOBER 7 if you are interested in going.

 

 

Things you need to bring:

• Sleeping bag
• Pillow
• $$ for dinner on Thursday, lunch & dinner on Sunday, souvenirs, snacks, etc.

 

This can be considered a Campus Visit and Harding will provide a letter to you for an excused absence.

[TeenMinistry] Garage Sales, Elevate, Teen Center, Scheduling & Calendars

You will see notes coming out about the Teen Center Garage Sale on October 13.  If you say “hey, that’s the same weekend as Elevate!” that would be a correct statement. J  In working with David Waters and the project and youth teams it was decided to go ahead and pursue the date in spite of the conflict.

 

There were a couple of reasons for this:

• Since we have no funding at this point, we wanted to get a garage sale in before it gets too cold.  This will jumpstart our funds.
• It was a good weekend for the project leaders
• Every weekend in October had a conflict (elevate, men’s retreat, women’s retreat, revolve tour, hayride) – this shows that we are a busy church and youth ministry!
• Since Elevate had to be scheduled several weeks earlier this year, there was greater conflict with band, football, homecomings etc. so several of our teens were not able to commit to Elevate.  This leaves them available to help with the garage sale.
• We want and need parents and other Lafayette members involved in this process as well.

 

As a teen, what should you plan on doing???  Go to Elevate!!!  If your schedule doesn’t prevent you from going, then you need to be at Elevate – it’s a great time of forming friendships, making memories and growing in your relationship with God!  However, IF YOU CAN’T MAKE IT TO ELEVATE – then we need your help with the garage sale!!!  There are lots of jobs that need done, so even if you can’t be there on Saturday, you can help!!!  Contact David Waters  or Lynn Rardin to see where you can jump in (This is for teens, parents and interested adults).

 

I want to thank David Waters for heading this Teen Center Project up.  He has come in with enthusiasm and the experience that will help us with the goal of having an awesome Teen Center.  If you have any questions, feel free to contact David or me – if one of us doesn’t know the answer, we’ll try to find it!

 

 

Because of the Cross,

Mike
