Afterschool Program

What are you doing this Wednesday afterschool?

Watch some T.V.?  Get online?  Stare at a wall?

Our afterschool program is starting this Wednesday! 

We'll pick you up at your school and drive you to church.  From there you can work on homework, hang out with friends, play games, and even learn something (i.e. guitar lesson).

It goes from 3:30 - 6:30pm.

We'll also be cooking as a group each Wednesday.  You'll learn how to use a working kitchen to make a good meal for your family.

One of the best parts about this program is that it is absolutely free!  The whole kit and caboodle won't cost you one cent.

The only thing we need is a signed permission slip.  You can get one of these from a youth at Oak Ridge or online at the top of the screen.

At 6:30pm our youth worship service will start at the Lighthouse.  It will go until 8pm.

E-mail Addresses

If you aren't receiving weekly e-mails let us know!  E-mail me at oakridge.youth@hotmail.com and we can put you on our list.  You will receive an e-mail at the beginning of each week giving you all the info you could possibly need about our youth program.

We will have fundraisers throughout the year.  Our first fundraiser will be around Thanksgiving.  During our last Pie Fundraiser we had SEVERAL requests for pumpkin pie, so this year we during the fall we will be selling pies once again to raise money for camp.

We will also have fundraisers in the winter, spring, and early summer.  As always, only those who work the fundraisers will receive the money raised.

New Stuff Coming...

We are working on some new stuff for this year.  In the next week or so, we will be revealing our youth calendar.  This will have all of our events for the following year.

Here are some highlights and changes you will see...

1.  The afterschool program will be back!  We will be hiring two college interns to help us with this ministry.  Our goal is to enroll 20-25 students in the afterschool program for Wednesday nights.  With the extra help we will be able to give music lessons, cooking lessons, and homework tutoring (among other stuff).  This program will once again be FREE!!!

2.  This year is the year of growth and missions.  You will see more mission projects throughout the year.  We'll be visiting nursing homes as well as other ideas that you thought of the past couple of weeks.

3.  "The Point" will be brought back to Wednesday nights.  As we said earlier our goal is to grow this year and we would like everyone to focus on inviting friends to our Wednesday night services.  Our services will actually start at 6:30 and go until 8pm.  During that time we will have a worship service, a message, and have a time for our SHARP Groups to meet.

We will have more exciting things to come.  Start praying now as we develop our ministry around God's will.
