Cancelled due to snow! Who'd of guessed?

So we've had to make the executive decision to cancel youth group tonight!

I know you were all looking forward to hanging out together so we'll try to make it up to you by having a combined Middle School/High School Xmas Party between services this Sunday Dec. 21st).

We'll make some ornaments, play some games, eat some cookies and drink hot chocolate. How's that sound?

See you then! And have a safe and snow-filled fun afternoon!

Small Group Xmas Parties!

Tomorrow we will have our last fuel youthgroup of 2008!

They will be Small Group Parties split between the Guys and the Girls!

Girls will meet at the HCC, normal time and will be hanging out and making Tree Ornaments (one to keep and one to give away)!

Please bring $3 to cover supply costs! Also bring any extra decorations you may want to use from home, a friend and a snack if you like!

Guys will be meeting at Ross's house during regular time!

We will be hanging out, playing games and also have a white elephant gift exchange. The gift must be something consumable (something you like to eat) and don't forget to wrap it! If you spend money there is a $5 limit.

Call Jen at the Church if you have any questions (or better yet his cell if you have the number!)

Winter Retreat forms will also be available tomorrow at the parties and also on this site! There will be early registration incentives including one before 2009! Check back tomorrow!

Mass Hangout!

Come on down for fun and games tonight!

Remember, next week we will be split up guys and girls and we will each have xmas parties!

(Next week will also be our last Fuel youth group until 2009!)

Poinsettias!

So this afternoon we will be filled to the brink with Poinsettias!

You know, the ones that you sold to fundraise your mission trip?

SO, if you did sell them, you need to get down to the church this afternoon and pick them up so that you can deliver them over the next few days!

*I just want to say thanks for all your help getting those pictures taken last night for the Roadtrip to Nowhere!  They turned out great and I will be working on them for the next few weeks putting that calendar together!  

*Also, our Winter Retreat Registration will be coming out this next week!  So make sure you are at Mass Hangout for the 10th and pick one up!  

*And finally, I uploaded a quick video of the guys smallgroup night where we did "Produceball" here it is:

Roadtrip to Nowhere!

Hey all!

Tomorrow we will be having our "Roadtrip to Nowhere" night!

Two weeks ago we had you all vote for which locations you all would like to go to and I've tabulated the results:

-Hawaii

-India

-Egypt

-Mt. Rushmore

-Paris

-Mexico

-Japan (Sumo dohyo)

-Disneyland

-Western (Somewhere in Texas)

-Antarctica

-NYC (Statue of Liberty)

-Bus broken down

-Easter Island (Place that has those huge stone heads)

So to remind you, what we plan on doing is taking pictures of 

our youth group with a white background (try not to where white) and later photoshopping them into backgrounds of the above places!  Here's an example of our staff going on a "virtual" trip to the original Starbucks in Seattle:

Here's the picture we took of ourselves at the church:

Here's the picture of Starbucks we found online:

And these are the two photoshopped together!

So if you have anything you'd like to bring to make those places above look more authentic (notice our starbucks cups in our hands) like Mickey Mouse ears for Disneyland, an 'I Love NY' shirt, Board Shorts, Ski Jacket, cowboy hat, etc.  Please bring them down!

After photoshopping them together we will make them into calendars and have them available in January!  So make sure you're here so that you can be in it!!!
