And I'm slightly nervous.<br />
Because the kids have already gone through so much<br />
and maybe they won't like my writing style.<br />
<br />
Anyway,<br />
So much has happened since there was a last post.<br />
And I really don't know what to write about on here.<br />
So I'm going to encourage you guys to head out to the parsonage tomorrow night.<br />
Invite your parents to come at 5, since our new youth pastor is having a parent's meeting.<br />
And 5:30 is youth group time.<br />
And there will be worship.<br />
Fellowship.<br />
Possibly brownies.<br />
<br />
=)<br />
<br />
Hope to see you there!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762839738947844641.post-4301136291536976792011-06-27T10:53:00.002-04:002011-06-27T10:53:46.845-04:00Packing List Family Camp<div style="text-align: center;">

[The 2011 Signature Girls Conference]<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://ih.constantcontact.com/fs004/1102844303105/img/73.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="243" src="http://ih.constantcontact.com/fs004/1102844303105/img/73.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
GIRLS! (and moms too!) Don't miss this girls-only conference at Lighthouse Church in Toledo! It's just around the corner and cost is just <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">$30</span></b>. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">RSVP to me by THIS Friday the 7th</span>. (Sorry for the late notice! I just found out about this conference and couldn't pass up the opportunity.)<br />
<br />
The theme for Signature is EXPOSE! 1 John 1:5 "...God is light and in him there is not darkness at all." We are excited for the girls who attend Signature to walk away with a clearer understanding of who God is and who they are in Him.<br />
<br />
It all starts Friday night with a FUN NIGHT! There will be activities, music, photo opportunities and food of course! We will return to Melanie's house to spend the night. Saturday will be a day of worship and amazing growth opportunities through main sessions, breakout times and small groups! Don't miss this event!<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">This idea for serving the community came straight from our youth group girls. Here's the deal: </div><ul><li>Clear out your closets. Get rid of clothes that are still in nice condition but that you don't wear or don't like. This goes for shoes as well. (Ask your parents and siblings to do the same!)</li>
<li>For every new piece of clothing you get this Christmas, get rid of at least one item from your closet. </li>
<li>Bring your clothes to Melanie so she can keep them sorted as they come in. </li>
<li>After the first of the year, we will contact shelters and other services to spread the word to those in need that we are hosting a FREE shopping day.</li>
<li>In addition to clothing, please begin collecting pantry <b><u>FOOD</u> </b>items--pasta, pasta sauce, boxed dinners, canned vegetables/meats/soups, snack foods, etc. This way, we can send people home with some food in addition to clothing--the two most basic needs. </li>
<li>And by doing it <i>after</i> the holiday, we will spread out the blessing. (Most people give to charity around Christmas, but giving dies down afterwards.)</li>
