Mission Meeting Sunday 1-2:30pm

Just a reminder for those that are signed up for The Yak (our summer mission trip), our next meeting is tomorrow (4/29) from 1-2:30pm!

Contact Jen with any questions.

Group Nite!

Tomorrow we are back to our regular schedule (5:43-7:15pm)!

It'll be Group Nite so bring a friend and bring your Bible as we play some games and finish up our 2 part series on "Just Like Jesus" where we'll talk about what it looks like to represent Him where ever we are.

Parents, here are some questions you may want to consider asking your student afterwards:

• How can being a fan of something (like a sports team) be similar to being a follower of Jesus?
• Is it easy to represent Jesus everyday or just at church/youth group?  Why?
• What can you do at school/neighborhood/home to represent Jesus better?

For Yak Mission Trip students:

Our next meeting is this Sunday from 1-2:30pm!  Our car wash fund raising tickets are also in so be thinking about who you'd like to sell them to.

Our Summer Camp Registrations are just around the corner!

Incoming 6th through INCOMING 8th should sign up for Camp Spalding!  Dates are: August 5-11!

Graduating 8th graders will be able to sign up for the High School Oasis trip July 26-30!

Change of Plans! (Still NO Youth Group Wednesday)

There is still NO Youth Group Wednesday (4/18) due to Spring Break.  But we are however having a No Way Day on Thursday.  Forms have been online about us Spelunking in the Ape Caves down at Mt. St. Helens but we won't be doing that anymore.  Due to the soggy weather, we've been told that the mile hike to and from the caves would probably be very miserable (and is in no way the "No Way" we were going for).

So instead we are planning on staying in the area with what we are calling "No Way Day: Quad Tag"!

We'll meet at the church at 9am (remember to eat some breakfast) and play some "tag" games starting with a car rally of sorts.  Then it's off to laser tag, then another car rally back to Gig Harbor and a finish with a game of Hoonting (think blow darts...and fun) back at HCC.  We should be done by 3pm.

Those that signed up for Spelunking are automatically signed up for the day (contact Jen if that is a problem).  Anyone else wanting to join us needs to contact Jen  due to limited car seats.

Cost is still $15
Be at church @9am THURSDAY (4/19)
Still bring some money for a fast food meal
You don't need to be dressed for cave diving anymore but closed toed shoes and attire to be active in is recommended.

Pizza & Praise $3! and No Way Day!

Tomorrow is Pizza & Praise!  So bring a few bucks and come hungry.  We'll start the night in the Ed. Building sharing a pizza meal together and finishing the night praising our God!

Next week is Spring Break for the public schools so there will be NO Youth Group on the 18th!  Instead, we're having a "No Way Day" on Thursday (19th).  It'll be an all day thing where the middle school and high school youth groups will head down to Mt. Saint Helen's ape caves to do some spelunking!  Cost is $15 and as always, there are scholarships (www.bit.ly/hccscholarship).  Spots are limited, so get your forms in ASAP!

Forms can be found here (email), there (at youth group) and everywhere (our website).

Feel free to contact Jen at the church with any questions!  Also don't forget to make sure that your year long Medical Release Form is up to date!

Group Nite and Lots More!

Tomorrow starts a new two part Group Nite series called "Just Like Jesus"!  We'll meet in the Education (2 story) building and after some games, we'll break into smaller groups and talk about role models.  Who are some of yours?

Remember that Easter is THIS SUNDAY!  Our church has a low key Good Friday Service (on Friday of course!) at 7pm.  Our Sunday Morning Worship times are 8, 9:30 and 11am.  We'd love to see you and your family!

Next week (April 11th) is our Pizza & Praise night so come with $3 as we start by breaking bread (pizza) together and then finish the night with some worship to our God!

During Spring Break we're bringing back our No Way Day so be watching for sign ups!  Looks like we will be spelunking down near Mt. Saint Helens (Grades 6-12) Thursday April 19th!  More info to follow, but know that spots will be limited.

Parents - as we go through our new series, consider asking your student these questions as conversation starters on the way home:

•     What would you expect to see in the life of someone who says that Jesus is their role model?
•     How can we as a family make Jesus our role model in how we live?
•     Who around you needs Jesus' love?  How can you (or we) love them?
•
