Just when you thought LTC was over……   We have scheduled a practice this Saturday at 1:00 for puppets, drama, and chorus at the church building.  We NEED this practice because we are performing at church on Sunday—the whole service is being dedicated to LTC!!  Please, please, please make sure you are there on Saturday.  We should be done by 2:00 or 2:30 since it will just be a review of stuff.  Everyone is to wear your LTC T-shirt on Sunday to church also!  Thank you!!

For His Glory,

Dawn and Whitney

[TeenMinistry] Roger - Youth Group Compassion

You guys are doing great with your support for Roger.  I am seeing $1 and $5 bills in the bucket when it goes by!  HOW COOL IS THAT!!!  You all are being very generous!!!  Keep up the good work!  We have raised more than enough money for now.   Once we get paid through a few months, we will discuss how to allocate the extra funds (that is do we sponsor another child or do we give special gifts to the family – Rogers parents only make about $150 per month).  Thanks to Chelsea and Renee who are heading this up!!!

 

In the meantime make sure you are:

·         Saving your change (1 quarter per youth group member per week is more than enough)

·         PRAYING – Pray for Roger daily (our family does – as well as for our own family’s little girl, Miara who lives in Brazil)

·         Writing – Keep writing – you can write on your own paper or get a sheet from the youth room – the first round of letters have already gone out!

·         Encouraging – your parents and friends to “get your own” child.  It’s VERY EASY…go to www.compassion.com .  Yes times are hard, our family has tried to increase our giving in several areas – and you know what – I still need to lose weight! – haven’t gone hungry yet!

 

What an awesome youth group you are!  Keep up the good work!!!

[TeenMinistry] LTC

We had a great weekend at LTC!  Dawn and Whitney will be sharing results with you soon!  All of the kids who participated had a great time!  Thanks to Dawn and Whitney for pouring themselves into our children and teens!

 

GREAT JOB to all the teens who worked so hard.  The serendipity to doing LTC is that you not only work on a project, you work on relationships too!

 

Word on the awards and some pictures are coming soon!  We will be having an LTC showcase on our next Family Sunday – May 3

[TeenMinistry] Good Stuff

Along with some from the Children’s ministry, we had 42+ at the nursing home last night!  How awesome!  You guys rock!  We go each 1^st Wednesday of the month (however we will miss May because of the Gillespie farewell dinner).

 

We have at least 16 going to the Areawide Middle School retreat this weekend – that will account for nearly HALF of all the groups put together! 

 

Our TLC leaders group and our entire youth group (last Wednesday night) unanimously support Charles Portwood coming as an intern this summer.  Charles is excited and I know you are too.  Even though many of you “know” Charles, plan on hitting your parents up to have him over for dinner one night this summer!!!

 

HOLD THE DATE – Our mission trip will be June 8-13.  It will be for High School (including incoming 8^th grade).  The cost will be around $125 – a couple more details that still need to be figured out will finalize that number.

Subject: LTC :Please forward

 

Our first official LTC practice was very productive.  The puppet teams met and discussed ideas for scripts and the chorus sang their hearts out while practicing 3 songs from our program.  We have some VERY talented kids at Lafayette!  This Sunday we will not have puppet practice, so those involved only in puppets do not have to stay for practice after church.  Chorus will meet this Sunday from 11:50 – 12:45 and Drama will discuss script ideas from 12:45 – 1:00.  Providing a sack lunch for your kids is recommended as we will eat from 11:30 – 11:50 and then move right into practice. 

 

Thank you for your support!

 

For His Glory,

Dawn and Whitney

[TeenMinistry] LTC Information

Dear LTC Parents:

 

We had a very productive first meeting this past Sunday for LTC and are very excited about working with the kids.  We just wanted to pass on some information to you----please make your reservations for LTC as soon as possible so we can all be in the same hotel.  You can go to www.mwltc.org to make them.  Any kids who signed up for pre-convention events need to have those completed before February 9^th.  Also, Bible Bowlers should be studying the book of John now!

 

LTC practices will be held on Sundays directly after church---please have your child bring a sack lunch on these Sundays.  We will not be meeting this Sunday due to TLC and Winterjam, but practices will begin on a regular basis the following Sunday on February 1^st.  If for some reason we cannot meet on a Sunday we will let you know via e-mail. 

 

Thank you for allowing us to work with your kids!

 

For His Glory,

Dawn and Whitney

I just realized that I was supposed to send you an e-mail to send out to everyone for LTC.  We just need to let everyone know that we will have our first meeting for LTC this Sunday right after church.  Everyone should bring about $3.00 so we can purchase pizza for lunch.  The meeting will probably last 1 ½ hrs (maybe 2, I’m not sure since we have to eat too).  If you could get that info. out to everyone I would really appreciate it! 

 

Thanks,

[TeenMinistry] FW: Read the Bible in a year with CBN.com

Kendall Malcolm suggested – and I agree – that we should take on this challenge as a youth group!

 

Here’s an easy way to read through the Bible in a year!

 

How different would our youth group and church be if we were all in God’s Word every day?  What an interesting thought for a group of people who say we follow the BibleJ

 

Anybody up for  the challenge?
