Reality Weekly

*Reality Weekly: March 31 - April 6*

Hey Everyone!
Last week we had the Youth Rally and it was really great, we estimated that there was over 150 people there. Pastor Troy had a talk and there was some worship time and a game where we had to walk around and talk to new people and play a thumb war, a rock paper scissors game, or a coin toss to win or a lose a bean. The person with the most beans won Matchett Money.
 
The Airband Competition went really well, and the only entry from our church, which consisted of Megan, Taryn and Abbie, with Ashley as cheerleader, won. For all the games, Pastor Troy made Matchett Money for the prizes, which was redeemable for items in the Tuck Shop.

All the youth group girls who could make it had gotten together in the afternoon to make cookies and brownies to give away at the Rally. We had a lot of fun and we produced about 8 dozen each of chocolate chip cookies and fudge brownies, which were given away for free. Most of the ingredients were provided by the girls who came to bake, and they gave it away for free plus they spent some 3 hours preparing them, so you owe them thanks if you got some and you weren't there to help. We really did appreciate the privacy we got though.
 
Also a big thank you to everyone who contributed so much to the Rally, a lot of people spent hours setting up and cleaning up afterwards, especially RJ, Corey, Ashley, and Esther, and others.
 
Everyone interested in participating in the skit will meet at 6:30 on Thursday to talk about our plan of action. I will hopefully have a couple options and we can discuss that then. If you want to be involved but can't be there that night, please let me know.
 
Please note that there is only three weeks left until Overflow. If you want to go and you haven't signed up yet, please talk to Pastor Troy as soon as possible. This is a very rewarding weekend that will be well worth it. Just so you know, if you want to go, the price goes up another ten dollars on Friday this week, so you are going to want to sign up on Thursday at the latest.
 
Sign up for the soccer tournament! we will go up against other teams
from other churches in the area, for an evening of soccer. The cost is FIVE DOLLARS plus bring along some money for food.
