30 hr famine info!

If you haven't turned in forms today (link to release form), please email Jen (jeaston @ harborcovenant . org) to let him know your planning on coming!

Who: Harbor Covenant, Believer’s Fellowship, Chapel Hill and Lighthouse Christian School

What: 30 Hour Famine

Where: Lighthouse Christian (Sat. community service off campus)

When: Fast starts after lunch on Friday
Friday check-in from 5:30pm pick-up @10pm
Saturday drop off @9am (bring work clothes!)
6pm breaking fast together (family welcome to join!)

Why: A voluntary fast to raise money and awareness for world hunger.

How: Together.

World Vision's 30 Hour Famine is a worldwide movement of students who are serious about serving God and fighting hunger - all on an empty stomach.  For 30 hours, participants get a taste of hunger by not eating - something more than a billion people around the world experience every day . Some groups and individuals are raising money for World Vision for each hour they’re fasting and others are bringing donations and canned food for FISH.
This will be a “Juice Fast.” We encourage students to drink juices including sports drinks to give them some energy. Remember to try and avoid citrus drinks!
Friday we’ll be playing lots of games and learning about people in all parts of the world.
Saturday we will be doing some community service (helps take your mind off of yourself when your helping others!). We’ll most likely be working at the Northwest Furniture Bank cleaning up the property around their warehouse. Other groups will be at the Tacoma Shelter and around Gig Harbor.
We’ll finish our fast with dinner together at Lighthouse Christian School at 6pm! Families are welcome (let us know so we have enough food).

Please contact Jen Easton if you have any questions!

Switcharoo!

That's right, this Wednesday we're doing a switcharoo. Mike and Heather will take a break from leading our High School youth group to run Fuel while I remind the High School students what it was like to be in Middle School.

Fun will be had. Bring ya friends.

This Friday and Saturday we will be having a Middle School Area Youth Group event, 30 Hour Famine at Lighthouse Christian. We will be doing this with Lighthouse, Believer's Fellowship and Chapel Hill Middle School Students. Here is the registration form:

HCC 30hr Famine Parental Medical Release 2010

Please turn this in before friday!

If you are planning to fast (no drinking, only fruit juices) with us, you'll start after lunch on Friday and meet up with everyone that evening at Lighthouse Christian School. If you can make it on Saturday as well, we'll meet back at Lighthouse and head out to do service projects in Tacoma and Gig Harbor.

If any parents are willing to lend a 6+ seater or be willing to drive students, please contact Jen! (851-8450/ jeaston(at)harborcovenant.org)

All info with times and directions (as well as tips on fasting) will be provided on Wednesday both online on the website and at youth group.

Fort Wars!!!

So remember when you were a kid and you made forts out of couch cushions and blankets? Yeah, sure the one you made yesterday counts too...

Anyhoo, be ready to pull out all your old clothespin tricks this Wednesday as we build our forts and go to war!

Fort Wars will be in place of our normal "Mass Hangout" night and is a great chance for you to bring your friends! We'll spend a chunk of time in the beginning building forts (in your grades) and then the second half of the night will be spent flinging foam at each other in a dodgeball/capture-the-flag sort of game. That's right, total insanity. Bring your friends.

Next week will be our "Switcharoo" night where Mike and Heather (who lead High School) will run our youth group that night and I'll be teaching at High School!

This Sunday we'll have our next Yak mission meeting from 1-2:30pm! Get your stuff and forms turned in! Write some support letters! Prepare yourselves to work as a team! Eat lots of broccoli! Sorry, I got a little carried away there...

And now our comic of the week:
