 Let’s Get Started!  

Upcoming Events Flyer:

FRIDAY, January 29TH^st   MISSION MEETING/ pizza dinner  5:30-7 PM  

·        We need to decide on a mission location and an organization to work with.  Given the adults that have already committed to the trip, we are looking at working with the homeless in either NYC or Elkon , MD.   If you would like to check out the two websites, go to:  http://www.meetingground.org/  and http://www.csm.org/newyorkcity.php .  (The NYC site may be through a different organization, still looking into it.)   We will talk over the pros/cons of each and vote on the location and dates of trip.  Additionally, we will need to do some planning for upcoming fundraisers and service activities.   

February 5^th -7^th   Infuzion Weekend at the Johnstown Reformed Church  

·        Let’s spend a weekend, with new faces in a new location.  The  Johnstown Reformed Church is hosting an incredible weekend for teenagers to bond and grow as Christians. The Infuzion weekend is to spiritually impact the teens of this generation for Jesus Christ and the Kingdom of God .  Check out their organization at http://www.infuzion.org . If you can not come for the whole weekend, here is a rough schedule of events:

o       Friday night  6pm - approximately 10 pm Pizza dinner, meet and greet.

o       Saturday     8 am - 8 pm all day, meals including breakfast

o       Sunday       8:30 – 11:45 am including lunch & worship

o       Let Debbie Silvernail know if you need a ride, she will be at our church 15 minutes early on each day to pick people up to go.  

Saturday, February  13^th   “Valentine’s Dinner for Two” Fundraiser                              

·        Valentine’s Dinner for Two $30. We will need a set up crew for the afternoon, cooks in the kitchen and servers that evening.  We could even have entertainment for our romantic meal.  In the past, this has been a really good fund raiser for the Senior High, let’s get the tickets sold and have some fun!  

Saturday, February 27^th    Meeting and Apples to Apples       6:30 – 8 PM  

·        How do teenagers serve Christ?  How can we serve our Church?  We will talk about some possible ways our Youth group can get involved with service.  Additionally, we should have more details and paperwork about the summer mission trip.
 Dear Parents and Senior High Teenagers:

 Vacation is over and it is time to get started! 

Doing what you might ask----

the summer mission trip, Infuzion Weekend, the Valentine’s Dinner fund raiser, fasting for World Vision, and much, much more. 

 I hope you are as excited as we are for 2010 events.  Although it seems months away, our summer Mission trip must get started now.  By January 29^th meeting, the exact location and dates will be set.  By the end of February, we will expect a $100 deposit and commitment for anyone joining the summer mission, so we can reserve our location (paperwork and details will be provided).  Our goal is to raise the rest of the funds for the trip.  Our focus is on homelessness.  Did you know that 1.6 million people under 18 will experience homelessness each year? (That’s more than the population of Philadelphia .) 

We will become part of the solution through Jesus Christ.

 So, come to as many events as you can! 

Bring a friend, all are welcome. 

 Sincerely,  

Senior High Youth Group Leaders
