Hey gang-
What a summer we have had! You were all just simply amazing! VBS was awesome, Fusion was great, the Work Week was unforgettable, we had a blast at the Pool Party and Get Real was so challenging! Thanks for making this a summer to remember. We love being with you and getting to know each of you so much better!

Our first major event will be Friday, September 11-12th. Our roof is in need of replacement. The church will be coming to fix it but there is plenty that we can do too! We will need willing hands to haul away the old roof and bring in the new shingles on Saturday. When we have times, we'll get them out to you. Plan Friday evening and all day on Saturday. If they have more than enough workers- we may work on some projects inside the building too.
Mark your Calendar!

On Saturday, October 11th- we'll have a Coffee House with area youth groups. Plan to be around for most of the late morning through evening. We have a team coming from WOL and we want to spend as much time with them as possible. Start thinking about what you'd like to share at the coffee house and who you'd like to invite. We will try to present a drama this night too.
On Sunday, October 12th- the Large Vocal Group is singing special music in church so plan to be there too.
We are still putting together our fall/winter plans. If you have suggestions- let a leader or youth council member know.
Quiet Times are available- give TIM $24.00 Checks payable to Calvary Chapel
