Silver Sands Parents
If your student is enrolling in Silver Sands Middle School this upcoming school year and you would like permission for them to eat with Tony outside of the cafeteria, then you must write on their emergnency card his information and that they have permission to have lunch with.  Check "NO" for Pick-Up and Custody but write in LUNCH ONLY.  My information is below. Creekside students does not need to do this as far as I know.

Bring a Friend Month

Starting August 14th through September 30th.

We will be having our annual Bring a Friend Month Event. We are excited to once again offer FOUR AMAZING PRIZES!!  So here's how it works this year.

A student invites a friend who has NEVER been to youth group before. These are NEW friends that they meet at school or on a team.  They can invite them to Venture, Discover or Pursuit and Xplore (as long as they are in the appropriate grades).  They will get an entry into the bring a friend box for their grade.
    -They can get up to three entries per friend if they visit three different times.
    -Their friends can get credit for inviting friends too.
    -At the end of the month, we will draw two (separate) names from each of the two boxes (high school and middle school)
   -Between the 4 winners, in order of who brought the most friends, will get to choose their reward first, the 2nd most will go 2nd, etc. etc.
    -If there is a tie, we will determine a winner by random draw.
    -So far we can expect to see the rewards as; a Samsung Tablet, a $200 credit to any camp or retreat, a Giant 8' Foam Surfboard and an HP Elitebook.  

So start asking your friends to come to youth group.  You could be the one to take home an awesome prize.
Youth Sunday
Sunday August 27th is Youth Sunday.  That is the Sunday in which students take over both services (9a and 11a).  We are in the planning stages of everything and hope that all parents and friends will come to be a part of this awesome time. Students will also sing a song.  Check out last year's youth choir number.

The students have voted and over a dozen have paid their deposit.  This year we are attending Rock the Universe on FRIDAY night. The cost of the event is $95 and we'll be going on September 8th. The cost includes Transportation, Ticket into Rock the Universe, and a Fast Pass to use on each ride one time.  There is a $25 cash or check deposit due when you sign up (can not use your account for the deposit).
