CHRISTEENS 2016!!

Christeens time is here!!

Christeens is one of the best events of the year! (Since his move to Russellville, Jake Greer, formerly the youth minister at Center Street, is now in charge of it) It's a wonderful weekend of worship, bonding with each other, amazing speakers, teachers, and worship leaders, and TONS of fun! We stay in a host home (ours loves us so much, they've asked for us for 3 years running!) for free, and have wonderful devos at night with them. As youth rallies go, you won't find a whole lot out there that's better than Christeens! So here's the rundown..

WHO? ALL RAVE TEENS AND FAMILIES
WHAT? A weekend youth rally with over 1000 other teens from all over AR and the mid south
WHEN? March 4-6, leaving Rob Ave. at 5:00 on Friday, having already eaten (Snacks will be provided at the host home that night.)
WHERE? Russellville, AR, at the PAC of Russellville High School
HOW MUCH? $35
WHAT DO I BRING? Your own sleeping stuff (sheets or sleeping bag) and pillow, ALL of your bathroom stuff, BIBLE, warm clothes, and money to eat lunch and dinner on Saturday. You CAN bring money for venders at the event, IF you want to. (They sell shirts, hats, etc. with Christian themes.)

Check out the schedule below!

F'WEDNESDAY AT JOHNSON!!

We've been invited to a FWEDNESDAY (friends + Wednesday) at Johnson church of Christ from tonight from 6-8pm! FREE CHICK-FIL-A & BUFFALO WILD WINGS!! And great worship with NWA teens!! There will be a speaker from Harding University (plus info booths from Harding and Freed Hardeman) speaking on the topic of "By Design". Should be a REALLY good night, and hopefully our first of many!

WHAT? A night of worship, fellowship, and free food
WHEN? MEET THERE AT 6, or caravan from church at 5:45!!
WHERE? Johnson Church of Christ (5602 Elmore St.)
WHAT DO I BRING? Just a bible and a friend if you like!

FAMILY NIGHT LIVE: ARCADIA!!

 The time has once again come for us to come together as FAMILIES and enjoy a night of good ol' fashioned video games!! Here's what it's all about..

The owner of Arkadia Retrocade in Fayetteville lost his sweet wife to breast cancer back in the fall. He's always been so good to us, and we've had special devotional prayer times with him, praying and signing for his wife via FaceTime. Through all this we've established a wonderful relationship with him. He usually charges $5 per person, but for our events there, he's never charged us more than $3. This week, he has decided not to charge us a penny, even though we'll be there after regular business hours. That's per person AND for two hours renting the place out. Yeah, he's a nice guy.

So here's what we'd like to do. I've invited both Johnson and Southside (and possibly Mount Comfy) to join us, and I'm asking everyone to bring a couple dollars anyway. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO PAY, but if you would like to, I think it would be a wonderful gesture for us to "pass the hat" and give it to him. Regardless, we're going to a (huge) special devo time with him, and surround him with the love of Christ. So here's the skinny:

WHO? ALL RAVE TEENS AND FAMILIES (Bring the whole fam!!)
WHAT? A worship time with 2 other youth groups, plus unlimited video games, and food!
WHEN? Sunday night, February 21, 6-8 pm
WHERE? Arkadia Retrocade, 1478 N. College in Fayetteville
HOW MUCH? FREE, but feel free to bring a few bucks as a gift for Shea
WHAT DO I BRING? Just a 2 liter and the whole family!
