The car wash fundraiser for Student Life Mission Camp is just under 2 weeks away (Saturday, May 26th from 10am-2pm, setup begins at 9am), and I need your help. Here’s how:

1) I need help planning the event. Let me know ASAP if you’re able to help with this.

2) I need a setup crew and car washers! Please let me know ASAP if you’re able to help with this.

REMINDER:

Those who are:

1) Signed up for camp by the start of the car wash,

AND

2) Work the car wash,

Will have all monies received from the car wash equally divided among them and applied to their Student Life Mission Camp total cost. The last event we did like this (Parents’ Night Out at Valentine’s) resulted in lowering camp costs $53.75 per person, so the possibilities are significant.

So, if you’re undecided about camp, now would be a good time to become decided and earn some cash!

I hope to see you guys there. Again, please let me know if you’re able to help plan the event and work the event. Thank you!

This Sunday, March 25th, we are having the annual Indoor Church Picnic directly after the morning service in support of our Oasis youth going to Student Life Mission Camp this summer.

Here’s what we need:

1. People to help setup from 10am-Noon on Saturday (all Oasis and college students are requested).
2. Approx. 6 people to help serve on Sunday morning during the worship service.
3. People to help serve during the lunch itself.
4. People to help cleanup after lunch.
5. People to bring desserts.

If you are willing to bring dessert please EMAIL HANNAH ROOT with:

1. The type of dessert you will bring,
2. How many you think it will serve.

If are available to help serve, please EMAIL CHAD to let him know which of those times you are available to serve.

Thanks!

The Indoor Church Picnic (ICP) will be held in the fellowship hall immediately following the 10:20am worship service on March 25, 2012.  As it does every year, the ICP will serve as a fundraiser for Student Life Mission Camp.  Whether you are able to attend Student Life Mission Camp this year or not, we could still very much use your help.  Here’s how:

A) Your Time & Strength!

I would like for everyone that can, to meet at the church around 10:00 am on Saturday, March 24th to help set up tables, arrange chairs, and go over assigned duties for the Sunday meal.  This shouldn’t take more than an hour or two, and it will help me get an idea of where I need to put you to serve on Sunday.  If you are unable to make it on Saturday, you can still help on Sunday, you just won’t know what we need you for until after you arrive on Sunday morning.

B) Your Hands!

We will need a lot of help serving.  If you are an Oasis student who is willing to help serve during the ICP, we can definitely use you to serve food, refill drinks, and “bus” tables, etc.  I’ll also need a group of you who are willing to help clean up, tear down tables and put away chairs after the event.  Please email Chad if you’re interested.

Thank you in advance for your help!  This ICP has always been a blessing, enabling us to offer Student Life Mission Camp to our students at a fraction of what it actually costs.

Email me if you’d like more info!

Thanks!

Oasis and College & Career Folks,

Several Decembers ago, Chris Gaston drove to Nashville, TN, for Andrew Peterson’s Behold The Lamb Of God concert tour, which chronologically traces the coming of Christ from Old Testament types and prophecies through the birth and life of Christ.  Gaston came back singing its praises (not literally, which I felt the need to clarify since physically singing praises would not be out of the question for a musician).  Since he purchased the Behold The Lamb Of God album while there, I got to listen to it, and, almost immediately, it became my favorite Christmas album.  But I know what some of you are thinking.  ”Chad’s musical trustworthiness has been tainted because he likes Christian rap,” so I’ll mention that in addition to Chris Gaston, who doesn’t love rap, it is also now the favorite Christmas album of my wife, who doesn’t even like rap.

Well, to my surprise (and delight), I found out that the Behold The Lamb Of God concert tour will be at KE Bushman’s in Bullard at 7pm next Wednesday night, December 7th.  So, I bought 25 tickets to the event for the Oasis students and college & career folks to enjoy.  The tickets were $18/ea., but they will be distributed on a pay whatever you can basis.

So, here’s the plan for next Wednesday night:

• Eat dinner at Sylvania from 5pm-6pm.
• When the children and adults go their separate ways at 6pm, we’ll load into vehicles and head to Bullard.
• I’m not sure exactly how long the concert will last, but I have been told that it is approximately 2 hours long.  You’ll need to arrange transportation home, although Amanda and I would be willing to take people home afterward (we can seat 3 others).

Please RSVP for this event by this Sunday, so I can attempt to get extra tickets if necessary.  If you’re not able to go with the Oasis and C&C folks that night, don’t stay home!  Take the opportunity to attend the prayer meeting from 6pm-7pm, since all of the other regular Wednesday night services are happening as usual.
