TRIKE RACE!!!

It's here! This Wednesday is our 13th Annual Trike Race - and by the looks of it...rain is more likely than shine (so dress accordingly!).

Make sure you bring a friend and know what theme your group is going for.

Don't be late, especially if your team still needs to put its finishing touches on your trike!

For those of you new to the Trike Race, each of the 4 teams pick a theme, build a trike and race them around the church property completing different activities at stations all around the course.

Much fun will be had and then we'll finish off the school year next week with a combined (middle school and high school) youth group from 6-8pm.

Trike Building Small Groups!

This Wednesday we will continue meeting with at the church but in our Small Groups:

6&7 Grade Girls w/Lauren and Ashley

8 Grade Girls w/Rachel and Julie

6 Grade Guys w/Jen, John, Blake and Jacob

7&8 grade Guys w/Richard, Brad and Spencer

Your goal will be to have you and all your friends try to start/finish building your trike for the Trike Race the following week (6/1)! Come ready to build and finishing the details of your theme.

We will also be having a Parent Night for Incoming 6th Graders from 5:30-7:30pm. This will be a time for parents to hear about the upcoming summer hangouts and camps as well as what youth group will look like in the Fall. We'll also talk about trying to understand what Middle School students are going through and how they can help. For more information, please contact Jen Easton. And remember, this is a time for the Parents, not the incoming 6th grader (your time will be this summer!).

Parent Night For Incoming 6th Graders

For Clarification our Parent Night for Incoming 6th Graders will be next Wednesday (May 25th) from 5:30-7:30.

If you are the parent of an incoming 6th grader, then this night is for you. Jen

Easton and Mike Stelle will help you wade into the waters of middle school by discussing the wonderful realities of adolescent development as well as introducing you to the Middle School Ministry at Harbor Covenant. As part of this night you will have the opportunity to sit in on part of a middle school youth group and see it in action! If you have any questions about this night (example –“Is my current 5th graders supposed to come to this?” answer – “No…this is just for you") please do not hesitate to call.

Trikegate Party!

That's right, our annual Trike Race is only a few weeks away! This Wednesday we will be breaking up into our 4 teams and deciding what theme you'll be going for and what you will make it out of.

For those of you new to the Trike Race, it'll be the 14th one we've done here at HCC! At the end of every year, our small groups build a trike to race around a course at church. It's a ton of fun so get your friends involved! The groups this year will be 6th grade guys, 7-8th grade guys, 6-7th grade girls and 8th grade girls.

Wednesday will be mostly a brainstorming night but if you have props for themes or something to build off of, bring them! In previous years we've had trikes built out of trash cans, lawn mowers, shopping carts, boogie boards, baby strollers, wheel chairs...even trikes! Get creative and get down here this Wednesday!

Our summer camp forms for Camp Spalding our out! Spots are limited so get them in!

We're also having a parent night for those parents with incoming 6th graders. Don't miss it! If you have any questions please get a hold of Jen or Mike at the church.

Switcharoo!

Just like last year, tomorrow we're doing a Switcharoo!

Mike and Heather will be coming over from leading the High School Youth Group and run the Middle School instead! And I'll be teaching High School during their Youth Group time of 7:30-9pm.

So if you want a little taste of what it's like to be in High School, we'll see you tomorrow!

Remember that Camp Spalding registration is out and spots are limited!
