Two New Events... don't miss!
Hey you don't want to miss either one!
On Wednesday, June 17th, we're going to go to Craig's Cruisers for their unlimited night--20.00 gets you in for 4 hours of unlimited play on all of their rides, games, etc. Plus, you get a food pass, too. So really 20.00 is all you need for the night!
We're gathering at the church at 4:30--taking the minibus--and returning back to church at 9:30. You can meet us at CC if you want--they don't start the unlimited night until 5 PM.
Let me know if you're coming!
On Friday, June 26th, we're having another Wii/Game/Pizza Fun Night at the church. Last time we had 17 youth crash and play Wii and eat pizza and just have a great time. We'll start that night at 7 PM, and end at 11 PM. I will rent a movie or two, too for those who just want to talk, watch movies and eat... :)
Hope to see you at both of these fun times... don't stay home! Come and have fun!
Blessings,Sarah

Saturday, May 23rd EVENT!
Hey, everybody! Here I am, in Chicago! But I have the details for this weekend's High School ONLY event... If you are in town, don't stay home! Bring a friend, and join in. It all happens this Saturday, May 23rd!
First, we will meet at the church at 5:30 (we will leave at 5:45) to go to the movie, Angels & Demons. It is at Celebration Cinema North. Pete's driving the bus for those of you who need rides. If you want, you can just meet us there, too. The movie is at 6:20, and we can sit together. I haven't seen the film, but I have heard great reviews. (parents, there is a great review on Plugged Online if you are interested...) I have read the book, and think it will make great conversation.
Afterwards, we will head to the Lake Eastbrook Lanes Bowling Alley. Many of you wanted a tournament, so we will! Make your team of 6, have a team name, and the BEST team that wins will get a prize. The rest of us can still enjoy the pop and pizza. :) Following the bowling, we'll return back to the church.
I'll pay for the bowling part, but you'll need money for the movie and any snacks that you want to get while we are there. I hope to see a lot of you!!!! Especially if you are in town. Itw ill be a great night to hang out.
Shalom,
Sarah

I know, it's been awhile...
I know, It's been awhile... I use Facebook now so much, but you all aren't on Facebook, so I need to get in the habit....
What's happening in the next few weeks of April/May--
First, Sunday School continues on... We will meet this Sunday, April 26th, and May 3, 10, 17th. Hope to see you there!
Second, we will be having some events coming up soon for HS Youth outside of the mission trip meetings, and stuff. So, even if you are NOT going on the mission trip, do come to the events! :)
Third, all High School youth are encouraged to give back to our church which has supported us so well... how? By service hours! This Saturday from 9-12 PM, the annual Church grounds clean up is happening. You can just show up and assist! On Saturday, May 9th, the super-duper playground set will be assembled at our church for our nursery and pre-school children! What a great way to assist our own church, and yet have some fun doing it…. If you are able to assist (and parents, you are welcome to come too!), please email mary.kovac@tlcgr.org when you think you could help out. She is looking for serious help, too, so she thinks our experienced crew of helpers would be greatly appreciated! And of course, VBS in July!
Hope you can make some time to help out the church and whatever way you can. And hope to see you soon for some of the upcoming events and Sunday School!
God bless ya!

HS Youth Bible Study and Sunday School
Just a reminder, we will be meeting on Wednesday Nights from 6:15-7:00 PM in the youth room for our own "grace group" study during the season of Lent.
It's my plan to cover the grace group topics, and add in information about Judaism on Wednesdays and Sunday AM. Many of you have asked me to talk about Judaism, and the gospel of Mark is a perfect place to start!
Hope to see you at either one, or even both--since we will cover different questions on each day.
Shalom,Sarah
