The youth retreat is coming up quickly as well. Just a reminder to have your forms signed by your parents and bring your $60 for the retreat. We'd like to have a good idea of how many people are coming, as soon as possible, so we can arrange rides.

See you on Friday!

Christmas Cookie Coffee House

Come out this Friday for our Christmas Cookie Coffee House (CCCH) (aka Music and Stuff). You'll have the opportunity to drink some hot wintery Christmas-like beverages, play some games, listen to some Christmas music, decorate some cookies, and have some serious discussion.

We will be spending the evening in the Christmas Cookie Coffee House (aka the portable). We'll be starting at 7:30 and finishing at 11:00. Come prepared to fill your minds, and your stomachs.

Also there are two awesome upcoming events that you should know about. Next week will be our Formal Christmas Banquet (B-rad has a better name for this event) It's at the church and begins at 7pm. You need to see Brad about getting a ticket. The tickets are $5. It's so cheap because it's also a potluck. Which means that you need to see Rachel G and let her know what you'll bring.

Then from Jan. 4-6 you have a chance to go up to Camp Crossroads for our winter retreat. This weekend will feature great food, lot's of winter fun, and a really awesome speaker. We're thinking it's going to cost about $45 but we'll let you know on Friday. It may be more or less. For this all you gotta do is give us the dough and get a parent to sign something saying you're can to come. See ya Friday!
