Haiti deadline coming up
If you missed the initial Haiti meeting two weeks ago, contact the church office for the handout with all the information on it. However, if you’re interested in going, the initial $470 is due this Friday, August 20, if you haven’t gone before. For those who want to go back to Haiti with us and people from outside our church body, your deadline is August 30 for the $470. The remainder of the cost for airfare is due September 17 (whatever that works out to be). The actual trip dates are October 16-23.
Baptism time change
The baptism on Lake Burgen this Sunday is now at 4:00 PM. If you’d like to learn more about baptism and talk about possibly being baptized yourself, contact Pastor John at the church or by emailing him at jlevahn@alexandriacovenant.org. Come out and support everyone and bring a dinner to eat at the picnic afterwards! It’s at the Martinson’s house at 2155 S. Burgen Drive SE in Alexandria (Google Map here).
Parent Dinner this week
Our final open parent dinner at the Schmoyer’s house (Google Map here) this Thursday, August 19. We know that parents are the most spiritually influential person in the spiritual growth of your teenagers, so we want to have a relaxed conversation around dinner about how we can link arms and support each other. Sign up by calling the church office. If you can bring a drink, salad, desert, or main dish to share, that would be helpful, too.
Movie Night next week
Remember Movie Night at the Schmoyer’s house next Thursday, August 26, at 9:00 PM. We setup the big screen on the outside of the house and sit in the driveway to watch a movie. The movie is TBD, but we’re thinking about showing the movie, To Save A Life. Any votes or opinions, contact Tim via text message, Facebook, phone call, or whatever else works for you.
Annual Youth Ministry Meeting
There’s a lot of different connection points in our youth ministry here at Alexandria Covenant Church. On Sunday, August 29, we have a big meeting where we go over everything that’s happening this upcoming school year with the youth group. We’ll introduce you to events and programs, explain how things work, and share what’s changing. This is a very important meeting and we highly encourage all students and parents to attend. It starts at 6:30 PM.
Journey Registration Night
REGISTRATION: Wednesday, September 8, is registration night for 7th and 8th graders who wish to participate in The Journey, our confirmation/discipleship small groups for jr highers on Wednesday nights. Registration happens at church from 6:30 to 7:30 PM in the foyer area outside the Worship Center. The cost is $20/person, which covers the student’s journal and Bible. If you are unable to come to church to register at that time, you can stop by the church office before then to register.
LAUNCH: Wednesday, September 15, The Journey starts at 6:30 PM in the gym at church.
Tonight, Tuesday, June 1, at 7:00 PM at church the Haiti team will give a report about our trip last month. We’ll share stories, show pictures and videos and tell about the amazing things God did to and through us.
This Thursday night, April 15, at 6:30 PM, Youth For Christ is hosting a free comedy night here at Alexandria Covenant Church. Daren Streblow, a nationally recognized Christian stand-up comic, will be performing along with music by the band, On Call.
