Wednesday:

  • Pray that our time together would build true community, shared experiences, and great stories.
  • Pray that we would be a blessing to the man we’re helping.

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT – Joplin Relief

Posted on May 24, 2011 by Youth

I’m not sure if you’ve seen any of the devastation in Joplin Missouri, but it’s pretty incredible. Over a third of the entire city is completely demolished. Lots of death (over 100), loss of property, jobs, livelihood, etc.

On Thursday morning, a small team (Logan Greer, and Adam and Autumn Reynolds) will be going to Joplin to deliver needed supplies and to help with some relief efforts there. Bu the team needs supplies to be donated. It would be super awesome if the youth group rallied around this great need.

It doesn’t matter how you do it, go buy some stuff, bug your parents till they go buy some stuff, take up an offering from your friends then go buy some stuff, or WHATEVER…

Here are some things that are needed:

  • Bottled water
  • Toiletries
  • Baby supplies (diapers, wipes, etc.)
  • Tarps
  • Roofing nails
  • Brush clearing tools
  • Chainsaws

We’ll be collecting the donations at the Lighthouse building at the following times, so bring stuff then:

  • Tuesday evening (today, 5/24), 5-7pm
  • Wednesday (5/25) during the day, 10am-2pm
  • Wednesday (5/25) evening, 5:30-8:30pm

Let’s just get this done NOPOYO style!

Home Group Party!

Posted on May 23, 2011 by Youth

This week is a little different with Home Groups. We’ll be combining both middle school and high school on one night, Wednesday 7-9pm, and meeting in a park near Logaanna’s house (map). It’s the last home group of the school year (and it also happens to be Logan’s birthday)!

So do not come to Logaanna’s house on Tuesday night for middle school home group! Everyone should come Wednesday night to the park and eat some hotdogs, play some Kan Jam, Bocce Ball, frisbee, football, and other awesome lawn games.

Here’s a map with the best way to the area of the park where we’ll be partying:
