JR HIGH LOCK IN and SLEEPOVER!


FROM ADAM:
Junior High Lock-In
Get ready for a good old-fashioned lock-in!  We’ll have the teen room available to play video games and the family center will be used for some basketball.  We’ll be playing some “Murder” (hide and seek type game) and a few other activities!  All you need to bring is a 2-Liter drink and a snack to share (chips, dip, cookies, etc.).  The following day we will help set up for the Slip-n-Slide Day, which is for everyone.  You’ll need to bring some spare clothes to wear at the slip-n-slide.  The lock-in will start at 9:00 on Friday night and will end after the Slip-n-Slide Day around 1:30 on Saturday.  I’m super excited to get to spend some time with the Jr. High Guys! -Adam Elrod


FROM BECCA:

When & where to meet: 8:30 pm at Robinson Ave. Have parents drop you off.

Where we’ll be staying: At the Holroyd’s house.

What to bring: Sleeping bag & pillow, pj’s, bathroom things, fun make up, hair stuff, nail polish, & other girly items. Bathing suit & cover up clothes for slip n’ slide day on Saturday, towel, optional separate change of clothes for after slip n’ sliding is over. 

Also, bring your favorite snack item (cookies or chips) to munch on Friday night.

**Don’t forget to bring  2 bottles of baby shampoo & 2 bottles of shaving cream for Saturday since we will be heading to the church from the Holroyd’s Saturday morning.

At the Holroyd’s we will be watching girly movies, doing make-overs, hair, & nails and eating snacks. Get excited ladies! There will possibly be night-swimming so make sure you have your bathing suit for that too!

CRAVE, June 2011

This past Sunday was an amazing night of worship and building relationships.  We talked about why we should bother coming to church.  Had some really discussion.  Really good night.  Here are a few moments from the night!

JUNIOR HIGH WORK CAMP

The time has come for Junior High Work Camp!  Here's the skinny..

It's going to be a little different this year, due to recent events in Joplin.  We've had to wait a little longer so things could get a little more under control up there, and also due to the longer school year.

So...

WHEN?  June 14-15

WHO?  Anyone currently in 6th, 7th, and 8th grades

WHAT?  Tuesday, we will work for one or more of our Golden Eagles, doing yard work, landscaping, etc.  Wednesday, however, we will venture up to Joplin and serve in a capacity TBA.  NOTE:  On this trip  to Joplin, we will be taking SENIOR HIGH as well.  We need all the help with this trip we can get, and what an amazing opportunity for everybody!  That night, we will worship at the Church of Christ there in Joplin.  WHAT AN AMAZING NIGHT OF WORSHIP THAT WILL BE..
