The coming weeks

This coming Sunday night......there is a Hymn-sing at 5:30 at NWPC. If you are into singing or like to listen to people sing with gusto...then come on out at 5:30.
There is a pancake dinner to follow that around 6:30. All are welcome to attend.
We're going to get in a shortened youth group around 7-7:15ish. So if you're not coming to either the hymn-sing or the pancake dinner, plan to show up around 7ish.

Next Sunday April 8th is Easter, we will not be having youth group that night. Don't show up, no one will be here.

April 15th regular youth group time at 6:30-8

April 22nd. The final installment of the church chat and dessert. A couple of you came to the last one just after the Famine. Please come out again and discuss the outlook of the church. Your voice is important.

If you missed seeing the Famine video this past week, you really need to check it out. Cole Johnson did an awesome job editing it down for us. I'm going to get it up on YouTube real soon and will post it here when I do.

Long fix

Calendar is fixed. Not sure why it stopped appearing except that I had to move the blog a little with the new stuff coming out.....I was hoping it'd be a quick fix, but it wasn't.

I forgot to ask most of you last night to pray for me this week. The youth pastors are down at the Christian school all week teaching and leading worship. We could use your prayers. It's going great so far!

You need to give me word if you're going on a summer trip or you're not going on a summer trip. Plain and simple.

I'll try posting again later this week......sorry no YouTube video.....without my lapper I just don't have the time to find a good one.

Coming right up.....

Youth group this week 6:30-8

Plan on coming and telling me what you're doing this summer. No more lagging. Steubenville trip? New Wilmington Missions Conference? I need to know now!

Remember to check in with the calendar regularly as the next couple weeks are funky with youth group times etc.

If you haven't given me your Famine money you need to get that to me ASAP!!!!!

Down and out

I am down and out in several different ways.

1. I crashed hard after the Famine was over. I slept most of yesterday.....and when I wasn't sleeping I was laying around on the couch or something. I'm still not feeling well. I apologize for missing the church chat last night. I hope some of you made it there!

2. My laptop is also down and out.....and might dead.....so I'm on the search for a new laptop. That being said....my posts here might be fewer and more sporadic.

He's making a list and checking it twice.....

I'm making lots of lists. Lots of things to keep track of and remember. Hopefully you're remember some of these things too.

Regular youth group time this Sunday 6:30-8pm. Can't wait to see your bright shining faces.

As if you didn't know.....this weekend is the All-County Musical. A bunch of you are in it......if you're not, you should go see it! I'm going!

NEXT WEEKEND IS FAMINE! Two words for you. FUND RAISE. Someone has to raise 360 bucks so I can go to Malawi this summer! Ok that's mostly a joke. But 360 does take care of one kid for a whole year? How about half a year? I will be handing out final information sheets this Sunday night at youth group. Times, things to bring etc.

SUMMER PLANS. We really need to be making some reservations for this summer. We talked again this weekend about the Youthworks Steubenville trip and the New Wilmington Mission Conference. We'd like to reserve some spots now. If you know you're definitely going to either one, please let me know ASAP, so we can reserve those slots.

If you haven't been to the Time4Revolution site this week, you are missing out on a really handsome guy on the front page! A good article for several of you too. We're adding new features all the time. What do we need to improve?

Shamrock shakes are available at McD's for a limited time.

I've told you before I have a lot of T-shirts but this guy decides to wear them all at once!

I'm meltinggggggggggggg

Kind of like the end of the Wizard of Oz.

We're back to regular times for Sunday Night Youth Group this week. 6:30-8. Hope you can make it. We gots lots to talk about as usual.

FAMINE I hope that by now you've been working hard at fund-raising for the FAMINE! Time is a ticking! We're just two weeks away. I'm getting excited! I hope you are too.

Summer plans. We've talked about a bunch of possibilities for you for this summer. My hope is that you have been talking to your parental figures about all that. We need to make definite decisions in the next couple weeks about what you're doing this summer. The two newest things we talked about were New Wilmington Mission Conference and the Youthworks Steubenville Trip. We'll talk more on Sunday. Please be thinking about making some decisions soon! Sometimes not making decisions on time, IS making the decision.

Could you guys be praying for Steve Lewis? He's in a super stressful time right now in college. He's doing lots of stuff which makes him get less than normal amounts of sleep and he can't afford to get sick....so he would appreciate your prayers.

Hey I need to remind you to keep checking in at the Time4Revolution website. We are working on keeping it updated. Please tell us what we could do better!

NEW BLOG FEATURE.....I'm going to start putting up some odd pictures from time to time on the right over there. There's no point to them really. But keep an eye out for a new picture ever once and awhile. So since a bunch of you think Brian and I are gangstas I thought I'd show you the ride he and I have been working on!

Would you rather fly in a plane with strangers to somewhere exotic or have a road trip with good friends?

New stuff.......pay attention!

Lots of new things going on. The newest one is that I just changed over this blog to the new blogger, which will hopefully let me do some new cool things with pictures and what-not. We'll see as we go. OK now pay attentions because I'm about to throw a lot of dates and information at you.

NEXT SUNDAY
No Regular Youth Group. HOWEVER....we are going to go tubing at the Wood's House at 2pm. You are welcome to bring sleds, but they don't work awesomely well....though if you have a tube, bring it because they fly! If you need a ride, you need to let me know, other-wise I'll see you there! Directions to Wood's: Head up Jackson Run Rd. toward Sugar Grove. You're not going very far....after Mason's Mobile City you want to make a right on the next road which is Dutch Hill. Head up Dutch hill and you're looking for #22 which is on the right....the house sits up the drive way a bit. It's pretty easy to find.

Ok that's at 2pm. At 6pm next Sunday, there is a pie and chat at the church. The church is going to present some of the results of some surveys they have done. They want some feedback. Having some youth there to give a "youthy" voice would be awesome. PLUS, there's pie!!!!!!!!!!!!

We introduced the 30 Hour Famine last night. We are doing the Famine this year March 9-10. I know that some of you have a choir concert that night. Don't worry, I've thought about that already. Don't let that be a reason not to do the Famine. If you weren't there last night and are planning on doing it, let me know and I'll get you a packet ASAP. Get going! 30 dollars takes care of a child for a month! 360 takes care of one kid for one year!

We also talked about a new mission trip opportunity for this summer. July 8-13 we're headed to Steuvenville OH with Youthworks! We need to know if you're coming with us. We have to reserve slots for everyone. There is a deposit of 50 dollars. This is going to be a great trip. We'd love to have you with us. It's close to home. It's a short trip. If you are currently in 6th grade-12th grade you can go. We are also in need of some adults to come with us. So talk to mom and dad and see if they want to come! More info coming!

We talked again last night about the New Wilmington Mission Conference. This conference is July 21-28th. This is a chance for you to meet up with teenagers from all over to learn what having a "heart for missions" is all about. You get to hear from people who's whole lives are missions. There are flyers outside the main office on this conference!

Ever wonder if you can nail Jello to a wall? Here's the answer!

And finally....for those few of you who are obsessed with Thriller....I found this. An entire wedding party doing every move from Thriller. They rehearsed for a month prior to the wedding so they could do this. WEIRD

Tractor Pull

No idea where that came from.

The mystery mail is this......I got an update mailing from 3o Hour Famine. In that mailing there was a mini magazine with ideas for the Famine. One the front cover of that is a picture of our youth group from last years Famine. Some of you are in it....some of you are croped out of it (to make it look cool and trendy) but non-the-less.....our picture is now in the hands of hundreds of youth pastors around the country! This is the picture that they used.

Regular youth group times this week. 6:30-8. Hope you can make it.

There will be NO YOUTH GROUP on Feb. 4th.

HOWEVER....the following night Monday Feb. 5th there is a big Youth Rally/Gathering/Shin-Dig at Praise Fellowship at 6:30pm. This is going to be really cool. A bunch of other youth groups will be gathering together to worship, learn and have a ton of fun. If you've never been to one of our rally's before, or if you've been to every one...you should come to this one because it'll be a little different. Need a ride? We'll hook you up!

New Aaron's thoughts post.

I post a lot of videos on here. Most of them are really goofy. THIS ONE is not. It's amazingly cool and serious. It doesn't matter if you like her music or not, this is just cool. Please go watch it.

OK and for you who need something not serious. There's this guy.......he totally doesn't know the words to the songs he's singing.....

Bad

Ok I've been a bad boy. Not like Brian, "bad boy" but I've been a bad boy. I haven't been on here in WAY too long. Sorry.

Youth group this Sunday same time, same place. Be ready to rock!

We're going to be talking about the 30 Hour Famine in the next week or so.....hopefully you've already been thinking about it.

Feb. 4th. There will be NO YOUTH GROUP this night. THis is the Super Bowl. In the past we've had parties......in the past we've tried to have youth group......bottom line is that it's always competition with the Super Bowl.....take the night off, watch the commercials....or the game if you care......

Feb. 5th. Revolution night at Praise Fellowship. It's a Monday night which is a little different for most of us......but mark it down now so you can go!

Someone e-mailed me to bug me about not having a new video up. So here you go.........this is suppose to be a comedy routine......but it quickly deteriorates.........forget listening to what the comedian is trying to do.....frankly he's not funny....but just pay attention to the guy in the middle.....that's his real laugh....it's a long clip so those of you with slower connections I appologize........
