September 24th we will be inviting students to take place in our Fifth Quarter Event at the Church. There will be live music by Mount Vernon High School student Joy Mills, a bon-fire, games, and other fun stuff going on all evening long. Admission will be a can of food to be donated to the Fortville Food Pantry plus $2 to help cover the cost of the event. Invite your friends and hopefully we’ll get to celebrate a Mount Vernon win with the community!

Adults: We will need lots of sets of eyes to make sure things go smoothly for the evening as well as help setting up and tearing down.

Talk to Pastor Joe Watkins or Danny DeVault if you are interested in being a part of the event.

Mark your calendars! May 15 is this year’s golf outing – our best fund raising event of the year. We’ll need people in the early morning and around lunch to help set up and tear down. Sign up in the lobby at church if you want to work the event.

Next week we will launch a web page where people who want to play in the event and get more information about sponsorship. Check back here for the link March 1.

Each day, over 25,000 children under the age of 5 die from preventable diseases such as malnutrition, malaria, diarrhea, and acute respiratory infections. Malnutrition is associated with over half of those deaths.

Each year, we at {2:42} are a part of the 30 Hour Famine, organized by World Vision, in order to help combat the destructive impact of hunger and poverty world wide.

This year we will be doing the Famine on April 23-24. Students pledge to not eat for 30 Hours and seek to raise sponsors for the event. We’ll spend the night at the church and also have a pancake breakfast for the community to help raise extra support.

Sign Up in the lobby at church if you want to be a part of this year’s Famine. You can also find the permission slips for the event on our forms page as well.

For the first time ever, we are taking our Junior High students to an conference exclusively for them. The Believe event is a two day event that tours the United States and is put on by Christ in Youth and is supported by Youth Specialties. This year we will travel up to Anderson University’s Reardon Auditorium each take to take part in the weekend’s events.
Our expected arrival and departure times are as follows:

Friday: Leave Church – 6 p.m.
Arrive Home – 11:30 p.m.
Saturday: Leave Church – 8 a.m.
Arrive Home – 6 p.m.

I’m excited to announce that because this is our first year attending Believe, we get a discounted rate of $25 per student for registration. The total cost for the event will only be $38 after money for gas and breakfast and lunch on Saturday. Registration and payment for the event will be due by Youth Group on March 14. The permission slips are available for download in on our forms page. Hope to see you there!

Here’s two things I know;

1. Valentine’s Day is approaching…
2. …and there are a bunch of teens hoping to go to Orlando, Florida this July for IYC 2010.

So, we’ve put these two things together and began planning another Parents’ Night Out fundraiser! If you are a family in the church and you want to be able to have a night out just drop your young–uns off at New Life at 5 p.m. on February 13th and plan on picking them up again at 9. Then go do, whatever it is you’re wanting to do! Enjoy the evening!

All we ask in return is that you make a donation of your choosing at the end of the night to help offset the cost of our trip to Orlando. There is a sign up sheet in the lobby if you are going to take advantage of this evening. Please let us know how many kids you have for us to watch and their ages, and enjoy the evening!

The professional football team based out of Indianapolis is playing in the championship game in South Florida next Sunday! How exciting is that? WAY exciting that’s how exciting it is, and we’re going to cheer them on together! Next Sunday, February, 7th, we will be having a Party for the Game that is Super at Danny and Laura’s house. Kick-off is at 6 p.m. and we’ll be enjoying pizza and snacks and soda for the evening. If people want to play Apples to Apples or other card games that will be available as well, but mostly we’re going to scream our heads off rooting for our local football heroes! If you need directions to Danny’s call Joe or Danny and we can help you out. Hope to see you there!

By the way, we’re bringing back an old {2:42} practice of having those students who are in the Junior High (6th, 7th, and 8th Grades) leave at half time and allowing the older students to stay for the duration of the game.
