Overnight Lock-In & Potato Bar Prep, Fri-Sat. June 15-16

All Youth Come to the Fellowship Hall Friday night, June 15 at 7:00 PM, for check in and pizza!  We will have activities (Murder in the Dark, Sardines, etc.), and watch a Movie. 

Saturday morning we will eat breakfast and then wash, oil and salt the potatoes, and set up for the Potato & Chili Bar on Sunday, June 17.  It is important that every youth make an effort to come to the Lock-In and to help with the Potato Bar as this is one of our biggest fundraisers of the year! 

If you previously signed up to bring a topping, please remember to bring it with you to the Lock-In, or have one of your parents drop it off at the church.... We need: Salsa (mild), Bacon Bits, Sour Cream, Shredded Cheese, and parents to make a crock pot of chili.  Bring your permission slips to youth group by Tuesday, June 12. 

May 5 Overnight Lock-In & Potato Bar POSTPONED!

Please note that due to most of our Sr. High attending PROM on May 6, we are postponing the Overnight Lock-In (Fri., May 4), and the Potato Bar (Sun., May 6), to a weekend in June.  (Other weekends in May have leader conflicts).

The choices are:

June 8-10: which may interfere with graduation and grad parties
June 15-17: with the 17th being Father's Day. 

Each youth family was emailed and mailed a notice asking to advise which weekend would work best, so we can see what works for the majority.  

Our Potato Bar is our biggest fundraiser towards our mission trips, so attendance is crucial. 

Details for the rescheduled weekend will be posted as soon as it is decided.
