Youth News and Events

Shoveling Snow Event – The congregation is invited to shovel snow for the neighborhood of St Peters when the snowy weather comes.  Please bring a snow shovel from home if you have one and outdoor winter clothing.  This is a chance to share an act of love by shoveling the walks and drives of our neighbors.  We will return afterwards to church for hot chocolate and snacks.  Please sign up in advance so we can plan out route when the sign up becomes available.  Thank you! 

 

Paintballing Event –
Who can come?  Any youth (10 years old and up) or adult.  Friends are welcome.
Where?  PaintballPlex in Laotto (north of Fort Wayne)
Date? Friday, February 10th
Times?  A carpool will leave the church at 5:30 pm and return 10 pm.  Let Shay Miller know if you can be a driver or if one of your parents can drive.  Drivers do not have to paintball if they don’t want to.  The paintballing is from 6:30 to 9 pm.
What do I bring?
          1. $25 for the event, $5 extra if you want to rent the protective chest guard.
         2. Your filled out and signed waiver.  You can get one from the PaintballPlex web site or Shay Miller. 
         3. A sack dinner or eat before you come.  They do not have a snack bar.
         4. A water bottle to refill.  We want to stay hydrated.
         5.  A friend or two!  The more we have the more interesting the games will be.
What do I wear?  Some shots can break the skin if it is exposed.  Wear long pants such as jeans, closed-toed shoes, a light sweatshirt with a hood and a hat.  Don’t layer too much or you will get too hot.  Face protectors will be provided by Paintball Plex.
What if I’ve never paintballed before? The Friday night events are designed for people of all skill levels.  Between games, the paintball guns will be reloaded for you with air and paintballs.  We are guaranteed at least 6 games.
Anything else I should know? For this event they ask that we use their paintball guns to keep the playing field more even.  Leave your paintball gun at home if you have one.  Don’t wait till the last minute to sign up.

 

30 Hour Famine – Junior High and High school students are invited to join the “30 Hour Famine” where they will fast for 30 hours while learning about fighting hunger worldwide.  They will be collecting donations for the event to give to World Vision.  Every $30 they raise can feed and care for a child for a month.  The event is set for February 24-25th, 2012.  Please consider supporting them with your prayers and donations.  Every youth who raises $360 will have the opportunity to apply for a trip to a foreign country to see directly how the funds are being used.  Please help them make this exciting possibility a reality!    

 

Boxes Needed! The youth will be constructing a box shelter to sleep in the night of February 24th during their 30 Hour Famine. They will be simulating what it is like to built their own shelter from materials at hand and sleep in it during the night. We need boxes for them to construct their temporary shelters. All cardboard pieces, cardboard boxes and other discardable materials will be accepted (bubble wrap, packing peanuts etc. for cushions). Please bring any donations to the youth room from now until February 24th. Please cut the tape and flatten the boxes so that they can be stored more easily for now in the room. Please contact Shay Miller with any questions.
