Mission Trip

WOW!!! That pretty much sums up our trip. You guys were the best. You represented Christ and our church so well!!! Just think how many lives you all touched by helping pass out groceries, working on the yards at both places and cleaning so folks at Little Birch would have a clean place to worship on Sunday. We will be giving our report to the church, a full report, this Sunday so I need you all to wear your shirts and do your best to be there at worship. I will see you guys on Wednesday night for our Bible Study time and we'll discuss more about what we'll say, etc. then. Bring a couple of dollars and we'll go to Dairy Queen: )

Love you all in Christ,
Miss Debbie

items to take

for those of you have "misplaced (wink-wink)" your list of things to bring here it is again:
  • You’ll need an air mattress and sleeping bag or blankets.
  • SHOWERS are very limited, especially at MMM. You’ll need to take 3-minute showers there. At Little Birch, you can have a 5-minute shower. (i would suggest you start timing yourself now : )
  • Pack small. It’s only 4 days, and you’ll already have on your clothes for one day.
  • Bring a swimsuit if you plan to get in the river.
  • River shoes are also a good idea if you have them or old tennis shoes/clogs.
  • Bring 2 towels and a washcloth.
  • Bring your Bible.
  • We’ll provide you a mission trip diary to use at Bible studies and to get autographs, etc.
  • Bring a great attitude, a helpful spirit, and a willingness to be flexible!

Hey Youth Group

it's been a long time since i blogged and for that i apologize but here we are! first of all let me tell you how proud i am of each of you in how you have grown in Christ. it is my privilege to be your leader.

i hope each of you have had as much fun flamingo flocking as i have. everybody has said how much they like the birds. this has been such a success that we will continue this to start raising money for next summer. more details about that later.

i am so excited about our mission trip! the t-shirts will be ready on tuesday afternoon so we will change on wednesday morning before we go. if you haven't paid for your shirt please do so ASAP.

some reminders about the trip:

  • remember why we're going, to serve God and serve Him well
  • we will only be gone 3 days so don't pack like you're never coming home again!
  • bring bathing things: washrag, soap, shampoo, towel etc.
  • check your list at least twice
well, that's it for now... remember that He said He would be back so stay ready!
love you guys...
Miss Debbie
