[TeenMinistry] Great News From Camp

We had an awesome week at Ne-O-Tez!!! In addition to all the fun,
learning and relationships that were built we were also able to witness
new life!

Laura Portwood and Abby Turnbough were baptized into Jesus Christ on
Thursday evening. This morning we rejoiced as Molly Tyler (daughter of
Dave and Sandra) gave her life to Christ!

What an awesome God we serve!


Because of the Cross,
Mike

[TeenMinistry] Middle School Week at Ne-O-Tez

A huge majority of our Middle School girls are going to camp next week that’s awesome!  There’s still room – we need Lafayette guys and the rest of the girls.  Contact me or Jimmy Teigen (the camp director) for more information.  Go to www.neotez.org for application and information.

 

  • Transportation – since we have a large number going, we are going to make the church van available.  If you would like to save time and gas money, for $10 per person you can ride the church van down and back. 
    • We will leave the Lafayette building by 2:30 PM on Sunday (June 22). 
    • We will return on Saturday (June 28) by about lunch time.

 

 

 

  • HELP- Our camp week still has several needs.
    • A Camp Nurse – Sunday through Wednesday night (PA / RN / LPN)
    • Kitchen Helpers – high schoolers (no counselor training necessary) – you get to go to camp free for the week, you will be working in the kitchen and helping around camp – will be able to participate in activites if not working at the time.
    • Cook (assistant) – preferably an adult/Parent – to help cook and serve meals (ideally they need 2 cooks)
