Monday Update 8/3

Good morning summer is about done,

We are exactly one week away from the first day of the MCPSS 2015-2016 school year.  If you would like a schedule of the year here is a link: goo.gl/LTxR0M

I was wrong as this week is the last Wednesday of the summer that Youth Works will be with us and working in our community.  This Wednesday is also the first Wednesday our upcoming 6th graders will be coming up and the upcoming 9th graders will be coming into the high-school Bible study.

Emails have been sent out requesting members for the 2015-2016 youth committee.  If you didn’t receive an email it most certainly doesn’t mean you cannot continue to serve in the youth ministry, we just try to rotate those serving on this committee and give new opportunities to those who haven’t had the chance to serve.

Late-Night Basketball & Fellowship Schedule
Let me know if you cannot be there on these dates.

August 5 (7:30-8:30p) – Jack & Kerri Lastorka

August 19 (7:30-8:30p) – Chris Taylor

Attendance on Wednesday nights (starts next week)

Since youth works still has one more week with us, on Wednesday, August 12th I would like for us to start taking attendance at the door.  There are a number of reasons why this is beneficial to us from the standpoint of safety and contact.  We would need you to be at the Gym setup by 5:30p.  This would also be a monthly rotation so please let me know if you are interested in serving in this.

Sunday School Breakfast – August 16th – WE NEED FOOD!

Plan is to kick off the revival morning in Sunday School with a Big Breakfast for the 6-12th graders.  Please start thinking about what you would like to bring if you are interested in helping with this breakfast.  You do not have to be one of the Sunday School teachers to donate some food.  The youth ministry will provide drinks, utensils, and plates.  List below:

Chris & Nicole Taylor – Monkey Bread

Revival with Wade Morris – Evening Activities (August 16-19)

Pray, Pray, Pray, and then pray some more for these Revival services.  I am hoping that we will be able to draw some students with some evening activities after the each evening service as well as with your help on encouraging students, bringing students, and sharing with students to come.

Danville Block Party weekend mission

All 14 spots are filled.  If you would like to be put on a waiting list please let me know.

First Fundraiser of the Church Year

We are going to try something new this year for a fundraiser.  It’s a little techie but it may be something that our members enjoy as well as potentially others.  Stay tuned!

Anyone ready for some cooler weather?  I am!  Have a great week
