Christmas 101 and Poinsettias!

This Wednesday we'll get you in the Christmas Spirit with our night of "Christmas 101!"

We'll play a bunch of games and talk about the importance of why we celebrate this day.

A prize for the one wearing the "best" Christmas sweater!

Also a reminder to those that sold Poinsettias for our mission trip fund-raisers, you'll need to pick them up by Friday evening. They will also arrive Thursday afternoon for those wanting to get a head start on delivering (just give me or Heather a call to make sure when they arrive on Thursday). Please remember to not leave them out in the cold (on doorsteps, etc) because they tend to be very sensitive to the low temperatures!

Next week we have our small group (guys and girls) Christmas Parties so make sure you grab your postcard at Youth Group on where it'll be!

Thanksgiving Eve Service and Unofficial Movie Night!

There is no regular youth group THIS Wednesday night!

Instead invite your family and friends to come to our church-wide Thanksgiving Eve Service from 7-8pm. It's a great little service we do every year where we get to share what we are thankful for and hear what the Covenant World Mission is doing around the world.

Afterwards is our annual "Unofficial Movie Night"! This isn't a youth event so much as a gathering of all the people we know. We will be seeing the new Disney 3D Movie "Tangled" at the Galaxy Theater's 9:15pm showing. Since this is an unofficial "event" we won't be buying your ticket or providing a bus there or make you fill out a medical release form. But we'll be there with 60-100 other people we know from HCC (middle school and high school youth groups, families, friends, former youth group students returning from college, etc.) and you should be too!

Urgent Poinsettia Fund Raiser Info!

I was mistaken and your forms for the Poinsettia Mission Trip Fund Raiser need to be in by:

11AM This Friday (11/19)

Sorry for the confusion! If you have any questions, please contact Jen Easton. Please turn them into the front office by 11am for your sold flowers to be included in our Dec. 3rd delivery!

Fly Away!

This Wednesday we will be back to meeting at 5:43pm for an evening of games and then Jen will talk about his chance to ride around in a Cessna last week (come see how he links that to the Bible!).

Next week we will be doing another different night so pay attention! Instead of our regular scheduled youth group our church is having our annual Thanksgiving Eve Service from 7-8pm. We love this simple service and encourage all our students to bring their friends and family (to this church-wide event) to be able to remember what we all are thankful for.

Afterwards is our annual "Unofficial Movie Night"! We will be going to see the family friendly movie, Tangled:

at the next available time after the service (usually around 9pm) at our local Galaxy Theater. We call it the unofficial movie night because we won't be providing rides or buying your tickets. That's all on you! So start arranging rides and making planes (inviting friends) because there is nothing quite like watching a movie with 100 other people you know!

And finally just one more reminder that registration for our Mission Trip to Gleanings is available and we are wrapping up our final week of our first fund raising opportunity. So keep selling your Poinsettias! Forms are available outside room 106 (The Youth Pod) and it is a simple and easy fund raiser! Just think of family, neighbors and local business's that would like to decorate with these very nice potted flowers!

No Regular Wed. Night - Overnighter!

This Wednesday, instead of meeting at our regular time of 5:43pm, we're going to START youth group at 9pm right as High School is finishing! Then we will run around like crazy, play games, hang out, and watch movies until 10am the following morning (no school the following day due to Veteran's Day)!

Registration forms need be in so we know how many to plan for so if you're still thinking about coming or have friends that are interested, please contact Jen Easton right away!

The registration form can be found at the church or on our website.

Much fun to be had so don't miss it!

P.S. Our registration for our mission trip to Gleanings down in Fresno California is out so pick one up or download a copy from our website! We already have a fund raiser going on right now so grab some poinsettia forms from the church and start thinking of neighbors, family, and even business's that might be interested in purchasing some! They will be available for delivery (by the students) by Dec. 3rd and all the proceeds go to your Mission Trip!

Chill at Chapel Hill Tonight!

Just a reminder that the first all area Middle School Hangout "Chill" at Chapel Hill is tonight from 7-9:30pm! (Lower Parking Lot.)

The event is free but you'll need a student ID card to get in (if you don't have one, have a parent or friends parent walk you in).

Since this is the first one of the year there'll be huge inflatable games like obstacle courses! So come down and bring your friends! See you there!

*Also wanted to remind you that our Mission Trip Registration is available (and can be picked up at church or printed from our website). For those thinking about going, we currently have a Fund Raiser selling Poinsettias so grab a form and sell a few!

This Wednesday instead of our regular youth group, we will be having an overnighter from 9pm to 10am (with no school being on Thursday). Forms are at the church and online as well and need to be by Sunday! Cost is $5.

IIT316 and Next Week's Overnighter!

This Wednesday is another one of our IIT316 nights so bring a friend, bring a Bible as we play some games and then dig into a Bible story!

Next week we will have our Overnighter! Instead of our normal youth group time of 5:43pm, we'll meet AFTER High School at 9pm and run around like crazy all night (No school with Veteran's Day on Thursday) and get picked up at 10am the next morning! Cost is $5 and a registration form can be found at the church or on our website! Please get them in soon so I can prepare!

Our Registration for our Mission Trip to Gleanings down in Fresno California will be released as well so make sure to check it out!

Along with that our first Fund Raiser for our mission trip will be Poinsettia Sales so grab some forms at youth group and canvas your neighborhood!
