We have our monthly Youth Night on Tuesday, Feb 9th from 7:00pm-8:00pm.  It looks there are now basketball hoops so I will go pick up a basketball that is just for the youth.  Hoping we raise enough money from Family Fun Night to get a TV to put up in there as well.  I just recently purchased a white board, cork board, and some blankets for the room and I am going back to Wal-Mart to get some bean bags as well.  We need more ping pong balls too!  =) 
 
I'm also scheduling bowling for Saturday, Feb 27th.  Times to be announced, more than likely in the evening.  I'm looking into glow bowling and will need to reserve a couple of lanes. 
 
Looking ahead here are some tentative items on our agenda.  All times will be announced later:
 
Feb 24th--Hosting Advent Dinner (parent volunteer to help organize a meal?)
Mar 10th--Hosting Advent Dinner (parent volunteer to help organize a meal?)
March 19-20th--Flamingo Flocking Fundraiser (more information to come...may need parent drivers for this one!)
April 3rd--Assist with Easter Egg Hunt & Set Up for Easter Breakfast
April 4th--Easter Breakfast
May--Possible Crab feed TBD
May--Go Kart Racing TBD
June--Graduation recognition 
July--Youth Gathering in New Orleans
July--Trinity Lutheran Camp
July--VBS (not sure on dates)
 
There will be more information about the above events coming out as we get closer to the dates.  I also called Sally to get in touch with Sara Kunkel to find out how our youth can do some outreach to the kids at Children's Hospital. 
 
In regards to the Crab Feed, I mentioned the idea to Sally and she was thinking it would be a good event for the youth and the congregation to organize to raise additional funds and split.  I want to be able to hold one event a year that goes to our high school seniors in the congregation to assist with money for college.   I will be asking parents to provide some information regarding their son/daughter as we get closer to the date as well.  I want the congregation to know what plans our youth have in store for their future and to keep them in prayer. 
 
Another outreach project I am looking into for the youth to participate in is with children with special needs.  My father worked (and still does) as a manager to group homes for adults with special needs.  It's an outreach that I feel is often overlooked not only in the public community but also in the spiritual community of the church.  I'm still working out some details regarding this outreach project so be on the lookout for more information. 
 
Enough for now...more to follow later!  =)
 
I would LOVE any help that anyone can offer with any of the above dates. 
 
In His Service,
Christa
