crosswalk youth ministry

We’re still trying to raise funds for this summer’s mission trip to Asheville, NC. So, here’s what’s coming up!

May 4:

• Taco Bar Lunch - following worship. We’ll gather down in the kitchen during the Sunday School hour and during worship to set up and cook.
• Pink Flamingo Insurance Sale Kickoff

May 11:

• United Methodist Men’s Mother’s Day Luncheon - we’re helping to serve food and provide childcare.

Just a reminder…the $85 non-refundable deposit is due this Sunday (March 23rd). You may also pay the full $320 if you would like.

Okay - I’ve checked, double-checked, and triple-checked my sources of information. So I promise that this week’s info is correct! We’re following the regular weekly schedule (posted over there —->).

 This Saturday (March 8th) WE WILL BE working on the Snake Saturday float from NOON to 2:00 p.m. Meet at the the church at 11:30 a.m. and we’ll carpool to the garage on 16th and Howell (the temporary home of the float)

 This Sunday (March 9th) we will be having our Youth/Parent Summer Mission Trip meeting, starting at 5:00 p.m. in the youth room. We’ll be discussing this summer’s location, the date of the trip, cost, and future fundraising opportunities…and anything else mission trip-related that you want to know.

There’s a whole bunch of stuff going on at Northtown! We’re sticking to our regular weekly schedule (over there —>). Reminder: There is no Bible study for W.O.W. (Weclome On Wednesday) through 5th. We’ll resume our regular W.O.W. times on March 12th.

 This Saturday we’ll be helping with the float construction for Snake Saturday. Meet at the church at 7:30 a.m. (I know, it’s early - but it’s SOOOOOO worth it). We’ll chow down on some donuts from Ray’s and then caravan to the garage up on 16th street (that’s the temporary home for the float).

 MISSION TRIP UPDATE: Put it on your calendars NOW - there will be an informational youth/parent meeting on Sunday, March 16th from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.

Hey, everyone! We’re sticking to our regular schedule this week. Check it out over there —–> Just remember that this month we’re just hangin’ out during W.O.W. instead of having Bible study. Feel free to bring some homework, or board games, or anything else that might assist in our having-funness time. (I don’t really know if “having-funness” is a word, but it sounds pretty cool!)

 Also remember that we’re smack dab in the middle of Youth Mission Stock Sales fundraiser for our summer mission trip…which is tba. So, talk to your friends, family and church folks about donating funds for this summer’s project. Our goal is $3300.

Whew! Sorry for the delay on posting for this week. I’m just now recovered from the AWESOME weekend we had in Springfield, MO at W.O.W. 2008. If you’ve got pictures from the weekend - send ‘em - and we can share. And as soon as I figure out how to post pics on this blog (I’m used to another blogger format), I’ll get those up. If you’ve got some experiences that you want to share, just leave a comment below.

W.O.W. (Winter Outreach Weekend) 2008 is just around the corner! The cost is $65/youth. We’ll be leaving at 7:30 a.m. on Saturday, January 27th and returning around 7:00 p.m. on Sunday, January 28th. Your registration (permission and health forms and $65) is due at January 6th’s Sunday night Gathering.

If you have any questions contact Adam at 816.842.3944 or at pickupyourcross@gmail.com

We will be joining about 2,000 other youth in Springfield, MO Jan 26 - 27, 2008. This is an amazing opportunity for you to get out of town and get to meet some new folks and get to know the people in CROSSWALK a little better than you do now. Plus we’ll rock out with some great Christian bands in worship. Did we mention that we’re going out of town?

 The cost is $65 for the weekend: includes food at W.O.W. and housing. You’ll need money for food on the way down and back. You’ll also need some cash if you want to buy any CD’s or other W.O.W.-related stuff. Let Adam know by Jan 6, 2008 if you plan on going. Payments are due by Jan 6, 2008. If you have any questions contact Adam (816.842.3944). Keep your eyes peeled for more information…coming soon!
