Pennies for our World Record are here!

We have all the pennies we need to break the World Record for Fastest Mile of Pennies (which is 2hr 16min and 9sec). Click here for the Guinness Web Page.

We have our location set at the Tennis Courts at Sehmel Homestead Park (Click here for a Map)

We even have the day and time set as THIS TUESDAY (8/30) at 1PM.

All we need now...IS YOU! Come on, you've always secretly wanted to be part of breaking a world record so here's your chance! Bring friends, bring family, hey you could also bring some snacks to share! I won't stop you!

And don't forget:

---Friday @6:30pm we have Tony Campolo speaking at our church.

---Sunday is our CMJ Sunday (Compassion, Mercy, Justice) where instead of having our regular worship times, we instead meet together in groups and do service projects. You can sign up for one by clicking here or you could TELL Jen Easton that you want to go with him to Kenneth Leo Marvin Memorial Park (Behind QFC) to help clear out Scotchbroom. Sign up with Jen and meet at the church at 9am with work clothes and gloves and some loppers or other yard tools to cut/pull out these plants.

---Monday is our Annual Summer RAINIER GAME! (Check out this earlier post for more info.)

Poinsettias Are Here!

So our Poinsettias from our Mission Trip Fund Raiser are in the Youth Pod!

If you sold any please swing by the office today or tomorrow to pick them up so you can deliver them!

We suggest you pick up them up today ESPECIALLY if you sold some to your teachers at school so that you can bring them tomorrow (Friday) instead of Monday.

It would be a good idea to call people about delivery's ahead of time because you won't be able to leave these flowers outside in the cold because they are very sensitive. Try also not to leave them in a cold car or garage for an extended amount to time.

Thanks and good luck!

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!

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!

Retreat Recap!

Whether you're still recovering from the retreat or just want to know what happened, don't miss tomorrow's Retreat Recap Night!

We'll be playing some games and talking about what our speaker Heather shared with us this past weekend on our Winter Retreat.

Also as a heads up, those who are signed up or are considering going on our Mission Trip (The Yak) this summer, be sure to participate this Thursday night for our second fund raiser, The Sweetheart Banquet! Please arrive at 4:45pm in a black bottom and white top (in case we need you to serve some of the tables). Please stay as long as you can (we realize that it is a school night) preferably until 9pm to help clean up afterwards.

All proceeds from the night will be split up between all High School and Middle Schoolers helping out that night that are going on our mission trips.

If you have activities preventing you from coming on time, we could still use your help as long as you arrive as soon as you can. And remember, even if you are still only considering going, I recommend that you come to help out to make sure you don't miss out on a fun night and contributions towards your trip!

The Yak Registration!

Forms are in the Youth Pod at the church, any sold helps knock down the price of the trip so get on it! Poinsettia forms are linked on the right hand side of our website www.hccfuel.com, directly above the form is a print link!

Pizza & Praise!

That's right, first of the year so don't miss it!

Bring $3 ($1 goes to our compassion child, Bhuva and the other $2 goes to dinner) and any first time friends wouldn't have to pay of course!

We'll have dinner together for the first half of the night and finish off by lifting our God up in song!

And be thinking about who to invite for tomorrow and for Mass Hangout next week!

In other news:

This is the last week to sell Poinsettias for our mission trip fundraiser (Registration forms will be available tomorrow as well) so get on it!

And don't forget that our first fund raising opportunity has started! If you are even considering our mission trip this summer to Yakima, selling Poinsettias has always been a great way to earn a chunk of the trip costs so get on it now, we only have a few weeks to sell them! Forms can be picked up at the youth pod (room 106 in the Ed. Building).
