bye bye birdie - part 2

sorry if there was any confusion regarding my last post... we are not going to the musical as an official youth group event. I just wanted to encourage everyone to go - on your own. Bobby and I are going Friday night, hopefully we'll see some of you there!

Bye Bye Birdie

Hey everyone, this weekend is Carmichaels High School's production of Bye Bye Birdie. All the information is here. Let's all go and support Andrew!

Sunday 2/24/08

Once again, be at the church and ready to leave for the concert by 5:00 pm. Please eat dinner prior to arrival and bring $8 for your ticket. We're all going to squeeze into the big green van! it's gonna be fun!!

March movie night

the date has been set... the next movie night is Tuesday, March 4th. be there!

Indelible Grace & Matthew Smith concert

Currently we have 9 interested people in the concert this coming Sunday 2/24/08. If you were one of the few undecided ones, please call/email/message Bobby or Jennifer by Tuesday to let us know if you are coming or not. The concert starts at 7, so we will have to leave the church around 4:50/5:00. We're assuming that the concert will be about 2 hours in length, which puts us back in Carmichaels around 10/10:30. Ticket prices are $8.

no movie night this tuesday!

I'm sure you heard the announcement in church, but the bulletin had incorrectly posted that there was a movie night for this upcoming tuesday, 2/12... so please note... there is NO movie night this week. we will let you know when the next one is.

Good Stuff

Since we are in a denominational church, the Presbyterian Church in America, I thought it would be a good idea to post some resource links that you can look at to learn a little more about our beliefs, practices, and so forth.

I'll post more info at a later time, but do look over some of these links. We have a very rich, diverse denomination that has a lot to offer.

friday afternoons

we're really grateful for everyone that takes the time to stop by on friday afternoons to hang out with us. in order to make it a little different than sunday evenings, so that it doesn't feel like youth group twice a week, we want to make it feel more open to bring non-church kids. I guess we need your suggestions. how can it be more appealing so that you want to invite your friends? those who don't normally come to youth group or gvpc? what would make you say, "hey, wanna go hang out with a couple cool old people after school for a couple hours?"? we thought the starbucks-generic drinks were enough, but maybe we were wrong... let us know!

welcome

all announcements and events regarding youth group stuff will be posted here, check back often.
