Moore, Oklahoma Mission Trip...

If you signed up to go to Moore, OK, you should have received two emails.  One should fill you in on the registration information.  The other is full important information about the Disaster Response Team, where we will be staying, what you will need while we are there, etc…  PLEASE read through that if you gave not already.

 

 We plan to meet at the church building at 8:00 am.  We will load the bus and be on our way to Oklahoma City.  We will eat lunch together, and then go on a special activity before heading to Moore.  Lunch and Special activity will be paid for. 

 

In your “extra” money that you decide to bring, please include enough for one meal just in case.  There is the possibility we will eat out once while there.

 

I am currently out of town, but if you have any questions PLEASE, do not hesitate to email me, message me on face book or send me a text message.  I look forward to spending this time with everyone!!

Moore, Oklahoma Mission Trip...

If you are wanting to go to Moore to serve that community by helping clean-up, please let me know via 2471 Facebook page or email. The deadline to sign up is Wednesday, July 24th.  It is a requirement so I can register you with the Churches of Christ Disaster Response Team.  That will give them an accurate count for food and housing while we are there.  So if you do not sign up, you can not go.

Because of the nature of the work there, if you are in 6th or 7th grade, I will need a parent or guardian to accompany you. 

We have had several parents express interest in going as well.  I am happy to take any adults that would like to go.  Once again, it is important that you sign up as well.

We will leave Saturday, July 27th and will return to Waxahachie Wednesday, July 31st.

 

Have a Great Week!!

SYS @ Brown Street…

Tuesday, July 16th, Brown Street will be hosting the Summer Youth Series.  Our topic for the evening will be I AM the Resurrection and Life.  Paul O’Rear will be our speaker.  If you would like to help out with food, please see Wendy Meyers.

I would like to personally invite EVERYONE from Brown Street to attend.  This is a Summer Youth Series, but I believe everyone will benefit from the evening, from the singing to message.  If you are free Tuesday night, please plan to be here at 7:00 pm.  We will conclude at 8:00 and a meal will follow.
