Summer Calendar
So the StuMin 2017 Summer Calendar is almost completed. 

T his Week on the calendar, First we have a StuMin Staff Meeting on Monday night at 6p.  Staff and Student Leaders are encouraged to attend. 

Tuesday is Pursuit and Wednesday High School Xplore but on Wednesday morning we will be volunteering at the Halifax Urban Ministry's Bridge of Hope Hot Meal Program.  We can only take 10 people so first 10 can attend. 

Then Thursday morning, it's our final beach day of the season.  The bus will leave at 10am SHARP for Frank Rendon Park.  We're going to grill some Chicken and have a great fun time.  We'll be home at 1:30p.

Finally on Friday at 5p we meet for the High School Lock-In.  We'll have pizza at 5, leave for Fun Spot at 6p.  Lock in ends at 8a on Saturday. 

Sunday is Second Sunday Super Surprise from 5p-7:30p.  Cost is $10 per person.

So hang up the calendar, do what you gotta do and be there with us this summer.
High School Lock-In
The best way to close out the summer is our annual High School Lock-in.  It is on August 11th and 12th.  It is also the opportunity for our graduating 8th graders to join up with the rest of the high schoolers and will join them from that point on Wednesdays and Sundays.  We will leave for Fun Spot at about 530p and return at 1a.  Well eventually crash around 3:30a.  Signups are in the CYAC today.  Cost is $25 each.
Rock the Universe

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). Total balance is due by August 27th.

Parent and Adult Leader Chaperones can go for only $40 * each. So sign up today and get those deposits in.  You won't want to miss this Rock-In' event.

*Must be willing to provide and participate in chaperoning duties
Texas Roadhouse Fundraising

UPDATE:  We got our SECOND check from Texas Roadhouse so thank you everyone.  That's a total of $80 now so keep it up, it's Working!  Continue to visit TRH on Sundays and bring your bulletin with you. We Appreciate You All!
 
If you visit Texas Roadhouse in Port Orange after church on any Sunday, bring a bulletin with you and they'll donate 10% of your bill back to FUMCPO's camp fund at the end of each month. Visit the Scrip table and buy a Texas Roadhouse gift card and help raise more funds for First Church too.

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.
