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..

MEET THE INTERNS!!!
My name is Becca Hill. I'm from Hermitage, TN, which is right outside of Nashville. I'm a junior a Middle Tennessee State University in Murfreesboro, TN where I'm currently studying Elementary Education. I attend a campus ministry called Raiders for Christ and it has been such a huge blessing in my life! I don't know where I would be without my family and friends. They're definitely a big part of my life. I am thrilled about being a youth intern here at Robinson Avenue this summer and I can't wait to see what all God has in store. I enjoy reading, scrapbooking, and doing outdoor activities like walking on the greenway, biking, and white water rafting. I got involved with the Inner City Ministry through RFC and I have enjoyed helping out with that. I love working with children of all ages. I was involved with the youth group at my home congregation, Lebanon Road Church of Christ, during my junior high and high school years and I have been involved with the college ministry at Kingwood Heights Church of Christ during my time at MTSU. I'm really looking forward to working with the Robinson Avenue youth group!
My name is Adam Elrod from Murfreesboro, Tennessee. My home congregation is outside the city in Lascassas where I’ve been most of my life. I’m an Art Education major at Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU). I’ll be starting my senior year when I return in the fall. I’m an active member at the Raiders For Christ (RFC), which is the student ministry on the MTSU campus. In my spare time I’ve started learning photography and hope to become a professional. My goal is to be an art teacher and a football coach.
Along with my teaching career, I hope to become a youth minister for smaller congregations and through this internship I hope to learn more about the process and work that youth ministry involves. I’d like to take what I learn here back to Tennessee and work with the churches there. I’m very excited to work with Robinson Avenue Church of Christ.

SENIOR HIGH RETREAT: DIVE
The time is approaching quickly for all the hustle and bustle of the end of the school year! Along with this comes a few moments for our teens to slow down, reflect, and focus. It's so easy to lose focus on God and what He's doing, even in the midst of doing good things. Here's one of those opportunities..
WHO? All Senior High Students in our ministry AND their friends. THIS WILL INCLUDE 9th GRADE!!
WHAT? Senior High Retreat is a time for our Senior High students to get away from all the going, going, going to take a breath and set their sites on God for a few days. They will grow in their faith and gear up for the summer and coming school year. Our theme is DIVE, a study on fully trusting God with every part of their lives, their hearts, their plans, their relationships. Our theme verses will be PROVERBS 3:5,6.
WHEN? May 13-15, 2011 MEET AT 4:30, HEADING OUT AT 5:00. We will eat dinner as soon as we arrive about 7:00. Back around 12:00-12:30 on Sunday. They will not have eaten lunch yet.
WHERE? 1000 Hills in Branson, MO. There is so much to do here, I can't even begin to list it all. The part I'm most excited about: 2 words...ZIP LINE.
HOW MUCH? The cost will be posted here very soon, once we get closer to a final count. The cost will include: FOOD, LODGING, and a T-SHIRT
MORE EXCITING INFO TO BE POSTED SOON!!

CAMPOUT/COOKOUT Friday Night!
Good Monday All,
This coming Friday night, we're going to have a great night to kick off the warmer season! We're going to have a night of chilling out and coming together as a group to reconnect over some healthy hot dogs and s'mores. (This will be in place of the the "Spring Formal" you have on your calendars! When I "polled the audience" on that one, they said they would rather skip the formal dinner and skip straight to the chilling out together afterward, so I figured I wouldn't hear any complaints from parents about saving $30)
WHO? Any youth in the youth group, 7th - 12th Grade
WHAT? Camping out for the guys, and camping out (separate locale of course) OR slumber partying inside for the girls. Roasting weinies and marshmallows over a bonfire, as well. Games, etc., but mostly just some chilled out, bonding time.
WHEN? Friday night, April 15, 7:00 PM until Saturday morning, April 16, 9:00 AM. We will need to arrive and leave directly to/from the McClures' house. There will not be a van going/coming.
WHERE? The home of Aldea and Curtis McClure (3215 Eupiel Lane, Springdale)
HOW MUCH? $0.00
WHAT DO THEY BRING? Sleeping bags, bedding, pillows, etc. I would recommend NOT trying to get a bunch of showers at their house, so no need for all the shower stuff. Showering is for wimpies anyway. WE DO NEED AS MANY TENTS AS WE CAN, SO PLEASE LET THEM BRING THAT IF YOU HAVE ONE. If anyone would like to send some snacks or hot dogs/buns/mallows, etc. please let me know early in the week. It would be GREATLY appreciated!!
It's gonna be a good time, so I hope everyone can make it!!
