Things for 2010

A couple of weeks ago I asked the Jr. and Sr. High students to come up with a list of things they wanted us to do in 2010. Here's the list they gave me:

1. Service Projects
2. Mission trip
3. Spring Retreat
4. Adopt a Child to Sponsor (this has been done as of 1/16. More info this week!)
5. Finish the "Upper Room"
6. Have a lock-in for just our group.
7. Have activities for our Pre-school and Elementary students with our teens serving as chaperones.
8. Texas Rangers/Six Flags trip

This isn't a complete list but it's what they came up with in a short period of time. As mentioned above, we have adopted a child to sponsor. His name is Juan Carlos Rivera Bonilla. Juan is 3 years old and lives in Honduras. There is an information sheet about him on the bulletin board above the Youth Bulletin.

We will collect money for him once a month and the church will then send a check for him to Compassion International. The monthly support for Juan is $38. I'm only asking the teens to give $1 apiece but if they want to contribute more that's fine as well. We will collect money on the third Sunday of each month unless we're not here on that Sunday then we'll adjust the date. So, that means our first Sunday will be February 21st.
