Don't forget that this Saturday from 9:00 - 3:00 will be our car wash to raise money for our mission trip. All students that work will have their accounts credited. We need as many students as possible to work the car wash. Please arrive at 8:45 to help setup.
Traci Rhoades will be running the car wash, as Christina and I will both be in Little Rock for fireworks training. I know that each of our students will treat Traci with the highest level of respect, and that you all understand that she has the same authority as I would if I were present. I am sure we will not have any issues.
As always, please remember that you will be serving as the face of our youth ministry, our church, and our Lord this weekend. Please dress and behave appropriately. I have asked that no bathing suits be worn (except for under appropriate clothing). Appropriate clothing is shorts no shorter than 2 inches above the knee, and a dark colored t-shirt or tank top with at lease 2 inch straps. No tube tops, halter tops, spaghetti straps, or light colored clothing.
I would also recommend sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses. Remember that it will be hot, and you will be washing some and holding signs some, so you won't always have cool water to keep yourself cool.
The car wash will be held at the harps store on College Avenue. This store was hesitant to let us use their facilities due to problems in the past, but they have agreed to do so since we are a church. Please do not do anything to let them regret it.
Finally, please let me know if you will be working the car wash, as I would like to be able to let Traci know who she can expect to be there. Currently I have the Lime girls, Morganne, Keylee, and McClain.

Fireworks Fundraiser
This year 3 Degrees Youth Ministry will be opening two fireworks stands in Fayetteville. They are located near the Walmart store on Joyce and at the Clarion on Highway 62 (6th Street).
Fireworks stands mean we need workers. This is an awesome opportunity for students to raise money to go to youth camp, missions trips, and national fine arts. I strongly encourage all students to get involved in this fundraiser.
The most up to date schedule with slots avaialable can be found here.
If you see a spot that tickles your fancy, just shoot me an email and let me know that you'd like to work it. I will give our students and parents one week to sign-up before opening up the opportunity to children's church parents and other people.
Feel free to ask if you have any questions.

Youth Rally Tomorrow!!!!!
I wanted to let you all know that there will be a youth rally tomorrow night at 7pm. It will be held at First Assembly of God in Fayetteville, and the speaker will be Dane Hall.
We will leave the church at 6:00, grab some dinner on the way, and then head to the rally. I expect us to be back to the church around 8:30 - 8:45.
I apologize for the late notice on this one. The date was changed due to a scheduling conflict, and my records did not get updated. This should be a great evening getting to hear from our District Youth Director. I hope you can all attend.

Youth Garage Sale
We have set a date for the youth garage sale. It will be the weekend of May 14th and 15th. We have sent a message to the church family to request donations.
We need as many students and parents as are able to volunteer to work this event. Only those who work will receive funds. Please mark your calendars for this.
Also, please go through your things, and find what you might be able to donate to the sale. You teens barely wear some of your clothes, and those are the types of things that can really bring in some money.
Both Christina and Pastor Brian will be unavailable to work during the sale due to previous engagements, but Debra Lime has volunteered to coordinate this for us, and hopefully some of our sponsors will be available.

Youth Outing - Red/White game
We have a youth outing this Saturday (4/24) from 5:00 - 8:00.
We will meet at the church at 5:00, and travel on the vans to the University of Arkansas campus to see the Razorback Football 2010 Red/White Game. We will return to the church around 8:00. The game is FREE to get in....
We assume they will be selling concessions at the stadium and we know that they will be having sales on all Adidas Razorback gear in the Hog Heaven shops. We will not be going anywhere for dinner (unless the game gets REALLY boring), so students should eat before they come or bring plenty of money (We all know how expensive concessions are at the stadium).
We look forward to seeing you all there.

Just a reminder... June 13th
June 13th is a big day for the students in our youth ministry.
The remaining balances for both camp ($75) and our summer missions trip ($330) are due on that date.
I realize that this is a lot of money due at the same time, but I wanted to give you as long as I could on both.
Several students are making progress towards these, and many have enough in their accounts to cover all or part of the cost. I need to know in advance if you want to use your account for this.
As a point of encouragement, we have 1 student whose way on the missions trip is already paid for just by sending out support letters to family. And another has raised about 1/2 of their money already.
Unfortunately, this is the date I have to send in all of the funds, so anyone who has not paid by June 13th will have to be removed from the trip and will lose their deposit. I am confident that this will not have to happen.
I am excited to see what God does in the lives of our students at both youth camp and the summer missions trip.
