Aggies for Christ 2009

Cameron King — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 02:45:50 +0000

As the teenagers settle in at their retreat center (pictured to the right), I want to take this opportunity to say a special thank you to the Aggies for Christ who were here last weekend. The weekend was fantastic. Our activities included a service project where we distributed door hangers publicizing our upcoming Fall Festival (free to everyone). We passed out or hung up 750 of these door hangers. We had a lot of fun and did even more walking. On Saturday evening, the Aggies led us in a skit-focused devotional that was very thought provoking. For en encore performance, Hutt Hudson in conjunction with the other Aggies taught Sunday school the next morning. We followed up the weekend with an appreciation dinner for the host families and sent the Aggies on their way.

My favorite things about that weekend though isn’t found anywhere in the preceding paragraph. My favorite thing about having the Aggies in town was the amazing worship time. With three times our regular number of voices, we sang louder, and stronger – and they reminded us of songs we hadn’t sung in years (and we picked up one or two new ones as well). Whether the Aggies came or not, it would have been a good weekend; but with the Aggies there – it was a great weekend!

Aggies, we look forward to seeing you next year. Here are some photos to tide us over until then…

BBQ Success!

First of all, I want to thank Rick and his whole family for this fantastic BBQ that we enjoyed this afternoon. Despite the confusion (sorry!), we got 119 orders through in about 45 minutes. There was a lot of behind the scenes work that made this fundraiser a success.

Our target for this fundraiser was $1000. This was to cover the congregation’s portion of the expenses for the teen’s Fall Retreat at Mt. Lebanon in mid-October. We raised $1729.50 in sales and donations. God has truely blessed us today.

The remainder of this fundraiser ($729.50) will be applied to the mission trip we plan on taking this next summer. The collection plate is our primary source of funding, but these fundraisers allow us to continue hosting the best youth program possible despite our ups and downs.

Thank you for making this Fall Retreat possible.

God bless,
Cameron King.

Rick’s Food To-Go, September 2009

Cameron King — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 18:58:30 +0000

Rick has graciously offered to prepare tasty food for us as a fundraiser for the youth. We are raising money to go on our Fall Retreat, this October from the 9th to the 11th. We are trying to raise $1000 in order to reduce the cost per teen to only $50. This money will also go to cover the fees for visitors that may be attending as well.

Please consider grabbing a take-out place on September 20th, 2009 following morning services. You will of course, be able to pay cash at the table, but ff you would like to fly though the express lane and pre-order online, please place your order right here at: sacocyouth.org/order. If you’re not ready to order, but you would like to reserve a meal with special instructions (meat selection, veggies), email cameron@sacocyouth.org with your reservation.

Welcome
