Good morning,
Basketball practicing continues this week for our 7-12th graders that are involved in the basketball program. I have been talking to more students about getting involved and a lot are interested. Please join me in praying for some others to help out with the program. Ethan McGath was a huge help last year and plans to help when he can this year but works on Saturdays. My goal is to bring these boys closer to Christ through basketball.
Below you will find some information and a potential fundraiser for next summer’s youth camp, the Wednesday night schedule for the rest of the year, and other events coming up.

FUNDRAISER: 2015 Calendars
Pickup your calendar packet Sunday morning after Sunday School from Bro. Chris and a set of calendars to sell.
Hallelujah Festival and Seward Farms – Friday, October 31st
Hallelujah festival starts at 5pm. We will leave the church at 7:30pm going to Seward Farms. Cost is $15 and transportation will hopefully be provided. A need for this trip is someone that has a CDL license and can drive the mini-bus, if not we will be forced to car pool.
Potential Soccer Tournament Fundraiser (December 6, 13, or 20)
I have talked to Coach Higgins, the boys varsity soccer coach at Bryant, and he has given some good advice and states that he could help me to plan this out. The goal would be to get 8 adult teams to play in a tournament at the Turkey Farm Soccer Field on a Saturday in December. The cost would be $300 per team. We could have a food tent, sell drinks, and the such for this event and potentially raise some really good funds for youth camp. Join me in prayer and tell me your input. (This could also potentially be a huge outreach event as many adults involved in South Mobile County soccer are Buddhists and a part of the Unification Church)
Winter Retreat – December 29-31 – $30/person
We are going to take a Winter Retreat to the woods in Lucedale, MS and get focused on the 2015 year with our students. Cost is $30/person as the only thing we have to pay for is food and transportation. Details forthcoming on schedule, what to bring, and how to signup. Plans are to leave on Monday afternoon 12/29 and stay until Wednesday morning 12/31. Adult leaders are invited to come. Here is the Google Map link to where it is located: goo.gl/UFx41w
