Youth News - March 2012

Hello to all of our youth,

           It seems as though winter is giving way to spring more quickly than usual. That means that summer is just around the corner; and summer means suntans, baseball, a vacation from school and IYC!  But before summer gets here we have several things planned.  They are as follows!

First off, I would like to say thank you to all of the youth and parents who made the Valentine’s spaghetti dinner a success!  I have received several comments as to how much it was appreciated, and how great the entertainment was!  We raised over 500 dollars to add to the IYC fundraising efforts!

Our Easter egg fundraiser begins in two weeks!  There are signup sheets on the welcome table to sign up for a time to come and make eggs at the church.   We will begin making the eggs the first week of March. We are going to have egg making nights every TUESDAY and THURSDAY.  In an effort to be more efficient and also to give you some more flexibility, we are asking that only 3 or 4 families sign up for a certain night.  This will allow us to get the job done, but  also not get  burnt out on making eggs, because we all know by April nobody wants to be anywhere near a peanut butter Easter egg!  Look for the signup sheet Sunday the 26^th!

There has been quite a bit of talk about getting together with the Brookville Church of God so we scheduled another group activity on Sunday March 11^th.  The time is set for 5:30 till 7.  We will have a bunch of fun things to do, and there is a rumor going around about black light dodge ball!

We also have scheduled a lock-in for the youth and any friends who want to attend!  The date is March 23^rd – 24^th, and we rented the pool at the Holiday Inn!  We ask that each person bring 10 dollars and this will cover the cost of the pool and all your food.  The Holiday Inn will be putting out a buffet style snack area for us.  When we are finished at the pool, we will head to the church and stay the night there!

I think that pretty much covers it for now.  Please be in prayer daily for the events coming up, and especially for the fundraising efforts for IYC.  I am anxiously awaiting spring and I am sure most of you are as well!  See you soon!
