FALL KICKOFF LOCK-IN

It's time to get the Fall started off right!  We're going to reveal some plans for the fall like trips, new ideas, a THEME for the fall, the new year of BIG BROTHERS/BIG SISTERS, and more.  It's gonna be a great way to dive into the Fall, so let's all come out and have a blast!

We're going to start the night with some bowling at 8:00 and then come on over to the church at 10:00 and lock in from there till morning, so they'll need bowling money for this part of the night.  If they have ballgames or anything like that, they can skip the bowling and just come on at 10.

HOW MUCH?  $10 to bowl, and whatever eating money you choose to send (optional)

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
