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!

Tacos, Ties, and Trinkets (Jewelry)

This Wednesday, December 1, will be a day of many firsts and some lasts.

This will be the LAST DAY of the afterschool program. We will begin the afterschool program after the New Year. Our meal will be mexican food. We will be playing games and decorating different parts of the youth room in the Lighthouse.

This is the FIRST DAY of the Christmas activities. After the afterschool program we will be having youth choir at 6:00pm. We will then be having The Point Service at 7:00pm.

Don't forget to bring your canned foods (see post below).

This is ALSO the FIRST DAY of our Christmas outfit contest. Go into your closets and get out your Christmas ties and jewelry. You must wear the ties/jewelry during The Point. We will be judging on craziest, ugliest, and most festive. So if it plays music or lights up make sure you bring it!

If you are going to be a part of the afterschool program, make sure that you bring your tie/jewelry to school. We will NOT be making any trips to any houses to pick items up.

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving Week!
We will NOT be having the Afterschool Program or OMEGA Choir this Wednesday.

We will still have The Point Service at its usual time of 7pm. Try to bring one friend to this service.

We will also be starting our bathroom item and canned food drive this Wednesday!
