Youth Announcements - April 29th


This coming Sunday is Youth Sunday!!! We will be recognizing all of our graduating seniors and Andrew Ellison will be preaching at both services.  Let’s make an effort to show everyone our support.  The spare change for Sunday will go to the Youth Programs.    

Fundraisers  
·         We are also having a Bake Sale this Sunday to raise money for the Washington, D.C. mission trip this summer.  If you have any baked goods items you would like to contribute we would really appreciate it. 

·         We are also currently raffling tickets for a BRAVES quilt.  You can purchase tickets any time over the next 2 weeks for $1 a ticket or 6 tickets for $5


**The SR. EYC will be meeting this week at the King’s house (3421 Aviary Ln. Acworth, GA) to make a couple of items for the bake sale.  If you would like a ride from the church, I will be leaving at 6:45pm.

Sunday School and JR. EYC will meet at their regular times this Sunday at 10am and 5pm. 

Please make note that on Wednesday May 8th (Sr. EYC) and Sunday May 12th (JR. EYC) the eyc groups will be heading to the Stars and Strikes Bowling Lanes on Dallas Hwy.  These will be our last regular youth meetings of the school year.  Please bring $10 to help with the costs of dinner, bowling, and shoes.  If you would like to play laser tag or any arcade games please bring a little extra cash for that.

Have a wonderful week!  

Peace,
Lauren

Youth Announcements - April 9th


Just a few notes for this week:
·         There is NO Wed. SR. EYC this week or Sunday School due to Spring Break.  I have still not made a final decision on whether or not we will have JR. EYC on Sunday evening so please let me know if you will be in town and could come to that.

·         Clean UP Day – Our church clean-up day has been rescheduled for Saturday April 20th.  We will be working on all sorts of projects outdoors and will have hamburgers and hotdogs for lunch.  Please consider helping out at this event from 9am-2pm.  This will also count as community service hours as well.  If you can only make it for part of the time that is okay just show up!

·         Youth  Sunday – Mark your calendars for April 5th when we will be recognizing all of our graduating seniors at this special youth Sunday service.  Also, please let me know if your graduate wants to be included in a part of all the festivities. 

·         Are you a ballerina? Got a softball game coming up? Spring Band concert preparations underway? I would LOVE to come support you!  Please send me your schedules of games, concerts, recitals, etc. and I will do my best to come out! :)  Last week I attended a softball game and track meet for Tori Nuccio and Ashley Taylor.  Way to go girls!

Peace,
