How do you start a Youth Praise Band? With lots of SPAGHETTI!

The youth invite everyone to the Spaghetti Lunch Fundraiser following morning worship on Sunday, February 5, in the Fellowship Hall. All proceeds will go toward the purchase of electronic equipment and music for the new Youth Praise Band that will be leading the youth Underground Movement Worship Ser- vice on Wednesday evenings.

Young singers and musicians are already practicing with Music Director/Assistant Youth Director Eric Robertson. "We would love to have your support," says Eric, "as we begin this venture for glorifying Christ through Contemporary Worship."

The Youth kids will be hosting a 30-Hour Famine event on February 24 and 25. The youth have agreed to go 30 hours without food in order to raise awareness and funds for World Vision. Every $30 they raise will help feed and care for a child for a month. One way we will be raising money is with a Purple Potty.

WHAT? That’s right! You don’t want to end up with this attractive potty in your neighborhood. All the neighbors will be talking about you, including your church family. There are several options available. One is you have this ONE OF A KIND DESIGNER POTTY delivered to any home you choose for only $5. To remove this potty from your yard will cost you $10 and you get to pick the next destination. Of course you can buy potty insurance for a donation of $15.

The youth who sells the most insurance will be awarded the GOLDEN PLUNGER.

We will be hosting a kick off on Wednesday, February 1, where the youth will receive all the goodies needed to make this a fun event!

Mark your calendar for Saturday, February 10.

We will leave the church parking lot at 4:30 p.m.

Auditions for our youth band will continue on Wednesday, December 28, right after youth meet. We are still looking for a guitar and drummer.

We are well into the fall recruiting push with many new Cub and Boy Scout families joining. Our Boy Scout Troop Outreach is going strong! 

The boys are working hard to finalize plans for this year’s Fall  Camp-O-Ree. This is a gathering of troops from around our three county areas. There will be plenty of fun competition for all. For the past few years, we have not been able to attend the Camp-O-Ree due other plans and obligations. This will be a new experience for most of our Troop and a welcomed reunion for some of the boys. 

We have just returned from an outing to the 125th Texas State Fair. Photos should be on our Troop website shortly. Find us at www.troop391.org and www.pack-391.org and get a glimpse of the outing. 

We want to send a special thanks to our Charter Rep and our Cub Master for the newly renovated restroom in the Scout Hut. They did a great job and we appreciate their support. 

As always we want to thank everyone at First Church for the continuing support. Your help makes our program possible.
