Update 4-12-2012

 

Feast Next Wednesday

 To end off our series on “To save a life”.  We are going to have dinner together and encourage everyone to invite one friend with them.  This will be a potluck, with students signing up this week for different dishes.  The youth group will provide the plates and cups and will supplement on the food, but we want this to be a community dinner with all involved.  Everyone will start in the gym together for a large group game and then we will all have dinner together from 6:30pm to 8:00pm.  We ask that you not invite more than one friend, since this will give you an opportunity to hang out with them and introduce them to others.

 

Thirty Hour Famine  Friday April 27^th, 2012

 We are once again ready for another Famine.  To this date, our group has raised over twelve thousand dollars and has really made a difference to those women and children in need.  The packets are here.  You get a packet, hit up your friends, relatives, neighbors, people coming out of Krogers, etc.  to try and raise at least $100. Then you stop eating at breakfast on the 27^th, we come together for a lock in that night, do a service project Saturday and  then break the fast around 1:00pm on Saturday with a huge feast.   Get your packet today and make a difference.

 

Graduation Sunday

Graduation Sunday this year is on May 6^th this year and we are going to do it a little differently.  That day is Children’s musical and the human videos will be performing in service.  We will have our graduation brunch at 9:30am.  We will be making presentations in the service as well.  Every teen will be invited to the brunch which will be held in the Magnolia Room.  Graduates – I need for you to get pictures together for each of you to have a display board and a gift basket for that Sunday.

 

Membership Classes

 Membership Classes start this Sunday in the Loveshack from 5:00pm to 6:00pm.  Anyone is welcome to come, even if you don’t want to become a member but want to learn more about what the Church of the Nazarene believes.

 

Teen Membership Classes Beginning on April 15th

We will start Teen membership classes on Sunday night, April 15th, 2012 at 5:00pm in the Loveshack.  This class will help you understand the history and doctrine (what we believe) in the Church of the Nazarene.  Not only would I encourage students who want to become members to attend, but also any students who want to know more about the church they are attending.  You do not have to become a member when you take ths class.  It will last for four weeks.

Update 4-5-12

There is a lot to update.  So here goes.

BLAST -

I know, many of you are wondering what is going on.  If you find out, let me know...lol.  I a having a hard time getting some crucial details concerning the registration. Some thought that you would receive a registration form in the mail while others thought you would download the one on MVNU site.  I am having a tough time getting a response, since we were told an April 13th deadline, here is what we are going to do.  I will have copies of the downloaded form available starting this Sunday, or you can download ne.  Fill it out like you were going to Mount VErnon, paying by check to WV South NYI, the amount on the paper that you need to.  If there is additional cost, the youth group account will cover it until you can pay the remainder.  That way if nothing else we will be covered.  If you have any questions, which I am sure you will, please call me.  

ADULTS...I need chaperones for BLAST.  I know several of you are going but I need to to know who would be willing to stay with kids on campus and who is just going up.  Please let me know ASAP!]

 

Thirty Hour Famine     April 27 - 28

Thity hour famine is upon us.  The opportunity for us to change lives by raising money, and going without food for thirty hours.  This is now a tradition here at S.C. 1st and to date, our group has raised over 14,000 dollars.  More information to follow, but right now grab a packet and start fundraising.

"TO SAVE A LIFE" Movie Event

This movie event will take place February 29th at 6:00pm.  High school will watch it in the Love Shack while the Middle School group will watch it in the Upper Room.  We will have snacks and drinks for the night.  Invite a friend to come to this movie event.  We will spend the next six Wednesday nights in a curriculum based on this movie.

Parents - This movie is rated PG-13 for thematic elements of suicide, cutting, and partying.  There are no graphic images of these things, but the movie is fairly real to life as to what many in our schools deal with.  The movie does not glorify these things, but is a movie about redemption, and a students journey into a relationship with Christ.  We are going to offer a preview of the movie for parents on Sunday February 26th at 4:00pm in the Love Shack.  A letter was sent home to parents discussing the movie and we encourage you to call Pastor Chris with any questions at 304-419-4545.
