Mani2mi......2 weeks away!

Hey everyone! The mission's trip is literally less than 2 weeks away! It is going to be a great trip! The "what to bring" list is all ready to go and will be passed out Wednesday night at youth group. If you have a part in the drama then let's get together an hour before youth group to go over it. Can everyone make it at 5:30? I'll probably email and call everyone too, but just in case you have checked the blog I thought i would put it on here too. Also, we are in need of transportation for the trip as well. If your parents are willing to let us borrow a vehicle for this week that would be great! Let me PJ know as soon as possible.  O.K. seeya Wednesday!

Sad Face: Youth Group Cancelled on May 9th

Hey everybody, I have decided to cancel youth group next Wednesday, May 9th. Did you just make that same face? All of the youth leaders aren't able to make it and all the other adults are starting small groups that night. Therefore,there are a couple of things to think about. If you need to turn in your camp registration you'll have to do that by Sunday, May 13th. The registration form and the $25 fee are due on that Sunday. Also, the cre8tive discipleship program ending date will be pushed back one week to May 16th. That will give you some extra time to finish up the work you have left to do, and give you an extra week to get ready for the verse test! :) Also, I will be in touch with those who are going to Adventureland about the time we will be leaving. If you have any questions please give Pastor Jake a call at (563) 571-0373. Thanks everyone!

Food, Friends, and Great Weather = FUN!

We had a great turnout this last Saturday for the Parent/Teen Cookout at Wildcat Den. We enjoyed great food and getting to know each other more. We also enjoyed a couple of great volleyball (where the parents dominated) and croquet games. Yes, croquet. The Boucher's brought their croquet set and we enjoyed learning how to play it! The teens also enjoyed hiking around the trails the state park has. Overall it was a successful day with awesome weather! Thanks to everyone who came and brought food/drinks!

Parent/Teen Cookout

Parent/Teen Cookout is scheduled for April 21st at Wildcat Den State Park starting at 12:30. Sign up sheets for food and how many in your family are coming are on the table in the youth room. Please sign up you and your parents/grandparents. Make sure to sign up to bring a food item as well. Remember also to TELL YOUR PARENTS what you signed up for so that they will know as well. We will eat, play games, get to know each other, and spend some quality time with our parents. If you have any questions please feel free to ask Pastor Jake. Pray for good weather! Seeya there!

MISSION'S TRIP: Ahhh! Something is due!

"Aaahhh!!!! I FORGOT!" Haha....I hope these aren't the words you say or the face you'll make when you come to youth group next Wednesday night. (April 4th) Mission's trip applications are due this coming Wednesday. There are 2 pages to it. Fill the first one out and sign it and have your parents sign it, and then sign and have your parents sign the second page. Then we can start getting ready for it and get the t-shirts ordered! Did you know????...that the mission's trip is June 10-16? That is 11 weeks from this week!....o.k. my turn "AAAaahhhh!" O.K. sorry...just realized we gotta get on the ball with preparing for it! :) Seeya Wednesday!

Couple things to remember...

Hey y'all! Loren and I will not be there this Wednesday, March 21st, so I wanted to give you a couple reminders. We'll be putting a bigger emphasis than ever before on the cre8tive discipleship program. We have basically 2 months before it ends. Camp Scholarships are based on it so it is very important to stay on top of it. If you ever have any questions about it please feel free to ask! Grab a new "MuscaTEEN Times" out on the foyer table. There are some interesting things to read about, but also updates on what is coming up. Teens who are going on the mission's trip don't forget to fill out your registration papers and turn them in by Wednesday night, April 4th. That should be it for now! Seeya Sunday!

YOUTH GROUP THIS WEDNESDAY!

Happy Spring Break to you all.....except for those who live in Aledo! :( Don't worry....your Spring Break is coming. WE ARE STILL HAVING YOUTH GROUP! Yes....even though there is No Awana, we are having youth group still. So!....Seeya there! 6:30-8:00 p.m.

Scottage Cheese

Hey everyone...quick update on Mr. Scott Tanner. He has safely arrived in Wyoming and is settling in there. He is really missing the youth group and the church, but we know that God will give Scott peace and understanding. Thanks for everyone who put some good memories of Scott on the facebook page. Let's all continue to pray for him as God continues to lead His life! Thanks! (This is a picture of Scott being goofy on the mission's trip last summer...and yes....that's a Cub's shirt.)
