Mission Trip Communications

In the Know

We have been missing people at fundraising events and need to make sure we are all on board with making this trip happen.

Please reply to this email letting me know:

Annual Meeting Lunch - Will you be there or do you have a prior commitment? We'll be raising money to help pay the cost for the adult chaperones and for extra expense above what each individual participant is paying.

Hotdish Days - are you participating? This is an individual fundraiser that is optional. See below.

Bingo - Will you be there or do you have a prior commitment? We'll be raising money to help pay the cost for the adult chaperones and for extra expense above what each individual participant is paying.

Please have these forms done by the end of January! Thank you!

ACTION NEEDED!

Registration Forms/Documents

As soon as time permits in your busy lives, I need a parent/guardian for each youth participant (as well as each adult participant) to fill out the required paperwork for our trip. YouthWorks has updated their system so that we can do this all online! Hooray!

Please click here to fill out all needed forms (release, medical, emergency contact, covenant, etc).

Take some time to look over all of the information found there and let Leisha know if you have any questions.

Annual Meeting Lunch

Sunday, January 26

Please arrive at 9:00am to get ready. We will prep lunch, attend worship as a group and then the lunch will start immediately after the 10:00am worship service. Please plan to stay through cleanup.

If you are able/willing, please sign up for a food item(s) to contribute, you can do so here . Although this is not required.

Proceeds will go partially to individual trip costs (only for those who participated) and partially to chaperone trip costs.

Please let Leisha know if you are unable to attend due to a prior commitment.

Hot Dish Days!!! - Great Turnout and Another Go!

What a great turnout for our first Hotdish Day!!!!! It was high demand for a return so we will move forward with our second date. That date is Sunday, February 2nd. This is the same date that we will be providing the meal for the CYF Bingo event as another fundraiser.

Participation

Participation in this fundraiser is up to each individual. Please let me know if you do not plan on participating. All proceeds will go directly toward individual trip costs. There is no grant toward ingredients this time around so all upfront costs are up to you as the participants.

Already paid for your trip with fundraising? Please consider participating with the profits going toward the cost of the chaperones for the trip.

CYF Bingo

Join us for group fundraising on Sunday, February 2nd for CYF Bingo event at Our Saviour's. This event is open to all of Our Saviour's congregation and community. We will be providing lunch. All lunch proceeds will go toward our chaperone costs.

Please plan to arrive at 9:00am to prep lunch. Then we will attend worship together with the event beginning immediately after worship.

If you would like to participate in Bingo as our time allows, please bring $2 per person.

Please let Leisha know if you are unable to attend due to a prior commitment.
