A Night Out is coming soon!

Even if you aren’t planning on joining us in Cincinnati or Washington DC this summer, we’d appreciate your help and support!

Here are some details:

Auction:

All of the youth who are attending the mission trip are expected to offer some sort of service that will take at least 2 hours of your time that we can auction off. (Those of you who are going on BOT trips might consider 2 services, or a longer service….) We’ve talked about this, so it should be nothing new. This service should be something useful for people to bid on. I need to know by Wednesday, March 7^th  what you will be offering as your service. Please fill out a donation form (available on the church bulletin board.) You will also need to make up some sort of certificate that the winner can take home, with your information on it and the specifics of your service. See me if you have any questions.

Families are strongly encouraged to donate or bring in a donation (restaurant certificates, sports tickets, sports paraphernalia, themed baskets, etc). These donations should be brought to Geneva by Wednesday, March 7^th. Please make sure that you fill out a donation form (found on the bulletin board.) If you have any questions or can’t bring in your donation by March 7^th, please let me know.

Entertainment:

All youth are encouraged to help with the entertainment that night – jokes, poetry reading, musical selections, skits, dances, songs (or other ways to entertain that you can think of.) I’d like all the selections we do that evening to be for the glory of God. Please choose your song, etc. wisely! Let me know if you want to be a part of the entertainment that evening, and we will set an audition time when it’s convenient for you. You can audition up until Wednesday, March 14.

I have 1 skit planned and 1 reader’s theater planned. Scripts will be available starting Sunday, February 19. Let me know by February 26 if you’d like to participate in either the skit or the reader’s theater (or both!) (or if you have your own skit in mind.) We’ll start rehearsals on Sunday, March 4.

Setting up/Serving/Cleaning up:

We will need some people to start ironing anytime the week before the dinner. (This might be a good job for those of you going on both trips!) We begin set up on Saturday, March 24 at 9:00.

When we come back in the afternoon (4:30?) to begin serving, we’ll wear a white shirt and black pants or skirt. Please consider what kind of footwear you will be wearing. (Close-toed shoes are required for being in the kitchen, and everone who is serving will be in the kitchen at some point) Extra high heels will be hurting your feet by the end of the night!

Everyone who is attending the mission trip is expected to stay and clean up afterwards. If we all work together, it gets done faster!

As we get closer to this event, you’ll be getting a lot more information. It’s going to happen sooner than you think!
