We will be arriving at Laser Craze around NOON - and we will be done by 4pm.

The cost is $10.00 which will give you atleast 3 games of lasertag and unlimited fountain drinks. Lunch will also be provided.

If you do not need a ride you can meet us Laser Craze at noon, or the Lighthouse at 11:30 am.

C-C-C-C-Camp!!!! (deposits are due)

We know its coming...

We've been waiting for such a long time...

And now the time is finally here!

It's time to turn in your camp deposits!!!

Okay, I know this may not sound like as much fun as camp is, but let me tell you what that $75.00 deposit does...

It will:

1. Save you a spot for camp

2. Guarantee you an awesome week of fun.

3. Give you the ability to fly (not really)

4. Lock you in on the fundraising/donations funds - This is really important.

Let me explain #4. Let's say we have 20 people give me their deposit. The 20 people will be locked in as "the original group", so whatever donations or fundraising we do will be given to this group first. If you signup and give me a deposit later on (May 15th for example) you will only receive funds that we get after your deposit. So if a donation is given before you give me a deposit, it may not go to you. So...

People who turn in their deposit March 23rd will receive funds from March 23rd up until camp.

People who turn in their deposit May 15th (or any date after March 23rd) will receive funds from May 15th up until camp.

But what if you don't have the money right now but you will still like to go?

That's okay. I know money may be tight (especially if you have siblings attending camp). If you know you are going to camp but can't give me a deposit now, just let me know by e-mail or writing me a note. Now this is not an option for people who have the $75 but procrastinate or want to spend it on stuff like candy (that's a lot of candy). But if you would like to go, and you can't get the deposit in, you will still be able to be a part of the "original group".

All checks need to be written out to Oak Ridge Baptist and be hand delivered to me.

If you have any questions or need to tell me that you can't have the money in yet, e-mail me!

Chris Tomlin Concert

If you have ever turned to K-Love on the radio or went to a contemporary worship service you will probably hear a song written by Chris Tomlin. He has become one of the most influential songwriters in the Christian community.

On March 19th at 7:00 pm he will be at the Bank of Kentucky Center. We are going as a church and we WILL BE PROVIDED TRANSPORTATION. If you are interested please sign up at the church. Tickets are $17.00. We want all of us to sit together so please signup before the deadline.

Louie Giglio will also be speaking. He is best known for his partnership with Chris Tomlin in the Passion Series. He is an outstanding speaker.

The deadline to signup will be next Wednesday the 10th.

Winter Weather Guidelines

With the unpredictable weather going on, here are a few guidelines to follow when it comes to youth meetings.

If Kenton County Schools are closed on Wednesdays, there will NOT be any afterschool program.

If there is a level 2 or 3 snow emergency for Kenton County there will NOT be any youth activities.

There will also not be any children's activities on Wednesday night if there is a level 2 or 3 snow emergency for Kenton County.

Make sure you check the website for any updates on activities. This will be the first thing I update before I start making phone calls.

Just a reminder... that if we DO have "The Point" tomorrow to bring your friend four series finale of "The Greatest Sermon". It will take $10 off your camp balance.

If you have a friend that would like to be a part of the afterschool activity, they must have

1. A permission slip which is downloadable off of this website (click on the "Afterschool Permission Slip" Tab).

or

2. A signed permission slip from their parent.

If I do not receive either of those then the student will not be allowed on the van for pickup. We would love to have your friends come over, but before we can we have to have these forms. Its a matter of safety and security.
