Potato & Chili Bar Fundraiser Another Success!!

   The Youth held one of their infamous Potato & Chili Bars on Sunday, June 17, 2012.  Even with the day being Father's Day, approximately 61 people stayed after worship to enjoy yummy jumbo baked potatoes with all the toppings and bowls of scrumptious chili! 

In the picture are the "Spuds" that advertised this event to the congregation... John, Issac and Samuel (from left to right).  Great job, boys!!  A few more pictures will be posted shortly - (for some reason, the album downloads on the Layout page, but is not showing on our blog. Will keep trying!)

Thank you to the youth who helped and served at the event: Scott, Liz, Tanner & Samuel.

A special thank you to chili makers, Gail, Laurie, Ann and Kathy! Each crockpot of chili was soo delicious that there was barely a spoonful left over! 

A special thank you to Kathy W., who helped rescue Ms. Glady (the only adult in the kitchen) with the prep and serving, and for staying to help clean up, along with Ms. Colleen and Marian G. 

THANK YOU... to our wonderful church family who helped us raise $820 for our mission trip to Pikeville, Kentucky in July!! 

CAR WASH Rescheduled for Tuesday, June 19th!!

Due to the rain on Tuesday, June 12, our Car Wash Fundraiser is rescheduled for Tuesday, June 19th!!  Please arrive promptly at 5:30 if you want to eat dinner before we begin washing cars at 6:00!! 

We will be washing cars from 6:00-7:45 PM, so we need every possible youth to come out and help!!

Car Wash Fundraiser, Tuesday, June 12, 2012

On Tuesday, June 12, during our regular meeting time, we will hold our Annual Car Wash Fundraiser.  We will have dinner from 5:30-5:55, and then be ready to wash cars from 6:00-8:00 PM.  This is another fundraiser, so we need every youth to come out and do their part!  So... tell your family and friends to bring their cars out to be washed (for a donation amount at their discretion) and help support our youth program!

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.
