Youth group news video
This week my little 10-week old little girl, Hannah, shares some of the announcements. Seriously, she does! Also watch to learn how to do a cool, but simple, magic trick.
Next Food Dump
A couple weeks ago some of us had the privilege of joining New Life Church and their monthly food dump by distributing free food to people in the community. We’re doing it again this month on October 29. They need help from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Just show up at New Life Church if you’re available. See the video above for pictures from the last time we did it. (Thanks, Cassia, for taking the pics!)
Also, they have 10,000 pounds of beans and 10,000 pounds of potatoes that need to be packaged sometime before the food dump, but they don’t know when that will be yet. Since it will be a pretty last-minute event, I’ll send the announcement out via Facebook and our text message list as soon as I find out when it is. So make sure you’re a fan of www.facebook.com/AlexandriaYouth and that you’re on our mass text messaging list.
Cancellations this week
Due to MEA, there are no C-Groups nor is there Journey this week. Enjoy your time with your family!
New Journey rules
If you are in The Journey, this is very important. Previously we allowed students to hang out either in their classrooms or in the gym for the first half-hour of game time. However, everyone must now be in the gym by 6:30 PM. You don’t have to play the games if you don’t want to, but you still need to be in there until your group is dismissed to your room.
Also, we love having guests and friends come join us throughout the year! Just make sure they’re registered by the second visit. It’s very important that we have everyone’s name and their parent’s contact information while they hang out with us at church.
Thanks, guys!
Fields of Faith canceled
Wednesday, October 14, was supposed to be the date for Fields of Faith on the football field after the game this evening, but that’s been canceled due to the pending weather. It will be rescheduled for a future time.
Dodgeball Tournament
It’s scheduled for November 21 at 1:00 PM at Lake Community Church. Be sure to start forming teams of 6 to enter and compete against other teams and youth groups from around our community. There are even some youth groups from other towns in Minnesota coming to complete! It’s $3/person and registration packets will be available at church soon. There are prizes for the winning team.
