WOOT!

You guys never cease to amaze me. GREAT JOB Thursday night. Lots of people commented to me about how cool it was. You guys all did great. I'm so proud of each of you. I also really appreciate those of you who could stick around and help clean up. Clean up went much faster than set-up. THANKS!

Couple things.....

Can you guys do me a favor? Call, e-mail, text, whatever each other and remind everyone where this blog is. I've talked to a couple of you this week about the game I posted, and a couple people have said they didn't remember we had a blog. It's pretty important that we keep checking in here. So stop reading right now and go call someone......then come back...

Welcome back!

Youth group Monday. Regular time 5:30.

We were rushed for time last night so I didn't really get to talk to any of you about this. I posted about possibly going to Pittsburgh for Famine, the first weekend in April. That's in two weekends. Is anyone even interested in this? We don't have to go. However if anyone is interested we I need to get you info on Monday night. PLEASE!!!!! if you're reading this, post a comment in the comment box one way or the other YES OR SORRY CHARLIE

Special youth group April 7th. In February we took a special trip to experience a Spanish worship service in Jamestown. On April 7th we have a different opportunity. Our very own Lindsey Berg is being confirmed at St. Joe's that night at 7pm I believe. So here's the plan. We'll meet at PCC at 5:30 like usual. We'll eat and do a lesson/game/learning activity/something.....then for those who are interested around 6:30, we'll head over to St. Joe's to be part of this very special Mass and support our friend Lindsey. If you're not interested in this, that's fine too, just tell your ride that you need picked up PROMPTLY at 6:30 from PCC. If I'm you're ride home, you're going to Mass.

Here's a random question. Would any of you be remotely interested in playing paintball? There are two opportunities that I know of coming up where we could join up with some other youth groups and play paintball, for relatively cheap. No experience necessary. No equipment necessary. You all know I love it, but I just thought I'd throw it out there for you to ponder.....we'll talk more about it soon.

Sunday School girls....remember that Mari and I won't be there Sunday. The materials for your collage's (or however you spell that) is in my office next to the cabinet.

Can I just tell you guys how much I love you you guys and gals! I really like being around you guys. You're lots of fun. I thought I should tell you that.

Ok I think I'm done now. If you'd like to waste more time go the next post down and play that silly game once or a thousand times. Feel free to post a score even if it's not a high score. It's just fun.

Down to business.

Next Monday. 5:30. Please be on time. We're going to eat and get to work. We'll set up and run through the whole Thursday night deal. If you're one of the people who said they'd sing, we'll run through songs at the end....and might go a little overtime. I've already handed out CD's to most of you and should hit the rest of you soon.

Next Thursday. I might change this between now and then.....but the service is at 6pm. Let's plan on being at the church no later than 5:30. Since we're running through things Monday, we'll just do a quick verbal walk through at that time.

Long Term. If you're interested in doing the Famine....we had talked about two possible dates. It's looking like the service project would work better for the first weekend in April. Please check your calendars and let me know if you are able or unable or uninterested in going. More details to come.

Who can beat me? Post your high score as a comment.

Nowell's Duty!

If you were at youth group last night the title is really funny.

Here's some stuff to think about and consider.

1. CHANGE OF PLANS! This past week we had talked about painting the last wall in the youth room this coming Monday. We are going to hold off on that for two reasons. First, we are having dinner prepared for us this week, so we're not choking down pizza. Secondly, I think it might be wise to spend some time walking through our Maundy Thursday service a bit. Pastor Mike helped me think through some details that we overlooked.

2. Speaking of which....Maundy Thursday. March 20th. We talked about some general ideas. We'll probably talk through some of that next week as well. Your assignment between now and then is to start thinking about some music that can go on while Communion is happening. It doesn't have to be slow and sad.....but maybe not screaming guitars and thumping drums either. Think it through.

3.We do need to get that last wall done. Talking about the room this past week got me excited about what we can do out there. Keep thinking.

YES TONIGHT

Sorry I'm slack on getting this up to date.

YES we're having youth group tonight. No school? Who cares. Come on out.
