Omega 30 Hour Famine February 17-18
Everyday nearly 22,000 children die of hunger or malnutrition leaving them more susceptible to curable diseases like malaria or pneumonia. Most of these deaths could be prevented with the right nutrition and education. Every year our high school students join thousands of other students across the country in fasting for 30 hours to raise awareness and money for World Vision to fight hunger. Over the last two years we have raised nearly $1500 for World Vision! Would you consider sponsoring one of our youth and fight against hunger? To do so simply email Joel and let him know how much you would like to donate. Join us for breakfast at Perkins off of War Memorial at 6:00AM or begin your fast at 7:00AM from your own home. Our lock-in will begin at church at 6:00PM, we will end our fast together at Avanti's at 1:00PM. Omega Summer Mission Trip to Prattsville, NY June 17-22, 2012
Last August Hurricane Irene came through the northeast United States devastating towns, destroying homes and whole communities. One of those was Prattsville,NY. While there we will be helping to rebuild some of the homes and even some of the churches. In addition we might also provide some programming for the community be offering a VBS to all the children there. We will be flying out of Midway on a direct flight to Albany and staying at Huntersfield Christian Training Center on the edge of town.If you're interested in going, simply download this brochure, fill it out and bring your deposit to Joel by March 25, 2012!
Alpha Mission Trip to Chicago, IL July 15-20, 2012
This year our Alphas will be going to the south side of Chicago to serve with Roseland Christian Ministries. In addition to being a thriving Christian Reformed Church, RCM also serves their immediate community in three ways. Their Thrift Store offers gently used items to be sold at a reduced price to community members. The Strong Tower, a women's and children's shelter, regularly houses 80 women and children year round. They help women and children get back on their feet through giving them job training and helping them develop interviewing skills. Finally, the Homes Project, has been helping families to buy foreclosed homes through seat equity and their strong mentoring program. Through this ministry families have been able to break the cycle of poverty and allow their children to go to college by borrowing against their home. Our Alphas will be providing support through all three of these ministries. If you are interested in coming please print off this registration form, and turn it in to Joel by March 25, 2012!
Youth Group Meal Sign-Ups Winter and Spring 2012
Every Sunday night our high school students get a chance to slow down from the busyness of life and sit down to eat dinner together. In order to make this happen we ask parents to prepare the dinner meal with our Food Services Manager Wanda Davis. Some parents cook lasagna, or baked spaghetti, while others pick up some pizzas at Little Ceasar's or gondolas from Avantis. Interested in bringing a meal to youth group? Simply visit the "Take Them A Meal" website and sign up!
