Sweetheart Banquet: Murder Mystery Party

Hello, WAY! Here are the details for our Valentine's Banquet Fundraiser. This is YOUR opportunity to earn money to go towards your trip to META this July! This one of our only two scheduled fundraisers (we will have a car wash in June) so TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS CHANCE! Ask about the sign-up sheet to see what's available for you to do each hour from 6-9 pm. (everyone should be able to see the sheet in Microsoft form if you received the last email.) In addition to those working hours, every youth member will need to choose a time to help set up for the dinner on Feb. 20 (day of dinner).
Your choices are--
After Morning Church Set-Up Team: 11:45am-1pm
Pre-Event Set-Up Team: 5-6pm
Also, everyone is expected, and relied on, to help clean up afterwards, which means it may be a late-night! :)

Ice Skating!!

Hello W.A.Y.!! Guess what...

WE'RE GOING ICE SKATING!

yep. Here are the details:



WHAT/WHEN:

-We'll be leaving the church right after morning service on Sunday, January 9, and drive to Birmingham to eat at Superior Grill (Mexican rest.).
-After lunch, if we have time to kill before ice skating, we will go to the Galleria Mall. No money is required for this, as it won't be a shopping trip, LADIES! ;)
-After the tentative mall trip, we will head over to Pelham Civic Complex to ice skate from 4-6pm.
We will leave Pelham at 6:15pm, and arrive back at the church at 7:30pm.



HOW:

-Parents will be driving their own vehicles. Until we know how many people are committed to going, we don't know how many vehicles will be needed. If you are a parent and want to volunteer you time and vehicle, let us know!



COST:

-We suggest you bring a minimum of $10 for lunch at Superior Grill.
-You may bring money for the mall, but it isn't a shopping trip and is only tentative at that. :)
-Depending on how many people come ice skating, the cost for skating and renting skates will range from $8-$9.
If we have 20 or more people come, it will be $8, including skate rental.
If we have less than 20 people, it will be $7 with an additional $2 for skate rental.
- It can also be noted that their are snack and drink machines at the Pelham Civic Complex and additional money may be brought for that, but it is NOT necessary.



Grand Total:
$20-25 per youth


This is definitely a friend- friendly trip, so invite people you know!! We hope to have 20 or more people come, not including parents! :)

SUNDAY:

tomorrow is Sunday. BUT NOT A TYPICAL SUNDAY! (12/12/10)
tomorrow is our Christmas Party!!!
We will be meeting at the Hansford Home at 5pm. We will have a small Bible study and play Dirty Santa! SO, everyone is asked to bring a small party dish (chips, chips&dip, just dip, carrots, fruit cake, etc.) and a Dirty Santa gift $5 and UNDER. If you are planning to participate in the Dirty Santa game, every person must bring a gift of his/her own so there will be enough for everyone. :)
We hope to see everyone there and remember, as with ALL of our events and Bible Studies, bring friends!! And what better season to start bringing your friends than Christmas, when we all feel warm and fuzzy inside?!?!?! :)

Hope to see everyone there!
 Have a great Saturday!

Merry Christmas!

this week!

hello everyone! yesterday was so much fun, wasn't it??

Now it's the beginning of a new week, and almost a new month! :) Here's what's in store:

12/1--  this particular wednesday is the WAAO (West Alabama AIDS Outreach) Program. We voted on Sunday (yesterday) and everyone decided they wanted to participate in this event instead of having Bible study at the office. The WAAO Program starts at 6:30 PM and is going to be at the church.  This service is going to be a time for the community of Tuscaloosa, AL, to better understand the disease of AIDS, and perhaps become involved in this ministry. THERE WILL BE NO BIBLE STUDY ON THIS DAY.

12/8-- this particular wednesday, we are going to be starting our new Bible study! Come join us from 6-7:30 PM! You won't want to miss this Bible Kick-Off!! :)

12/12-- this particular sunday is (1) Bo's birthday! whoo-hoo! and (2) the 1st Annual Christmas Party feat. DIRTY SANTA! More info will follow up closer to time, but we'll go ahead and give you a few details:

• each gift should cost NO MORE than $5
• every person wanting to participate in Dirty Santa should bring only one gift
• the gift should be able to go "both ways" (i.e. boy/girl)

You are allowed (and encouraged!) to wrap the gift however you want to and make it as interesting as you can! :) The Christmas Party will be held at the Hansford home from 5-7:30 PM; email for directions!

12/14-- Kimber's birthday! whoo-hoo!!

12/15-- this particular wednesday is just Bible study. :) Be at the Cafe from 6-7:30 PM!

12/21-- Arkeia's birthday! whoo-hoo!!

That's your week/month at a glance!
We hope everyone's monday was FANTASTIC!!!

Turkey Bowl!

Ok, guys, today we are gathering for the annual Capstone TURKEY BOWL! Be at the quad at 2 o'clock and get ready to get down and dirty! :)
Girls, you can come too. We'll have board games and fun things for you to do as well. :)
And after that, we're all heading back to the church to eat and have Recap, so don't don't miss it!

See you all in a hour! :)

need to know!

 just some info ya might need to know:

This Wednesday we are starting Bible Study at 5:30 pm. Why?? Weeeell, we are going to watch a movie! The movie is The Passion of the Christ. The movie is rated 'R' for scenes of graphic violence, so get your parents permission before you come! An email has been sent to your parents letting them now about what we're doin this wednesday, so that shouldn't be a problem. :)

We hope everyone who went paintballin' had a fun time yesterday! The reports from everyone who went were very good! Sounds like yall had tons of fun! :)

We hope yall have a great monday! See ya in a few days! :)

former youth,

are still as silly as ever.

somethin' quick.

hello! just thought I'd share a little somethin I read last night. It kinda goes along with what we learned at meta.

He was going down the street near her corner, walking along in the direction of her house... All at once he followed her like an ox going to the slaughter, like a deer stepping into a noose... little knowing it will cost him his life.... Her house is a highway to the grave,leading down to the chambers of death.

Proverbs 7:8, 22, 23, 27.

I liked it.
