To Save a Life

Sunday we have our showing of “To Save A Life”. A fantastic movie that addresses real deal issues…instead of me explaining it, check out the trailer.

We’ll be meeting in the LHCcafe at 6pm. the movie will follow shortly after. with such a great movie, make sure to invite as many friends as you can! i promise, you won’t be disappointed, and neither will they!

Water Wars

Hey Y’All!
Car wash was an absolute blast, thanks to all who helped out in anyway whatsoever; it was priceless.
Now for our next awesome event…

As this is our last Youth Group meeting – at our normal time – for the summer, we thought that we should end it with not just a blast, but a massive water explosion of awesomeness! So Jeff and I have planned a full evening of water events, games, worship, and so much more. This is a great event for students to bring their friends out to. To see what our Youth Group is like, and get an idea of our summers events.
But for any great event, we have some major preparations ahead of us. This saturday, the 12th, starting at 12pm and going till 10pm, we will be filling balloons up in the gym and inviting people to come to the sunday event. All students are welcome to help us out – come with $5 for pizza – and are encouraged to come with a list of friends they can call to invite to Water Wars. (Facebook, to sign up for prep. )

Water Wars will be starting at 5:30pm Sunday the 13th, both Jr. and Sr. high are included in this event – for it will be that awesome! – and the event will go till 9pm. Much like our other events, please dress modestly; ladies please wear a colored T-shirt and shorts over your bathing suits, guys stop smirking because you’re next, gents please no speedos and please also wear a colored shirt.
We are hoping to use over 2000 water balloons for a wide variety of games, everything from giant launchers, to a swimming pool specially designed for wrestling! As i have said before for such events: it’s going to be Legen- wait for it, hope you’re not lactose intolerant – dairy! Legendary!!!!
So come out and bring your friends! (Facebook event: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=127168457307525&ref=ts )
See you all then

Grace and Peace~
