When it snows, it’s time for chili

Here is a chili loaded update. Hope you make it for the event!

• Chili Cookoff We’ve got some details for you now. So here they are for all youth willing and able to help with this crazy event:
  • Feb. 21 Instead of FLY, we are going to take a field trip to Grace Lutheran in New Albany to hang out with them at their chili cookoff and look at their youth room for ideas. We’ll leave at 2:00 from church and return around 9ish pm.
  • Feb. 26 Prep day is where we’ll set up the room: tables, chairs, electronic prep, kitchen prep, etc. We’ll start at 7pm and work for around 2 hours. This is open to all youth. This is a fundraiser activity for the National Youth Gathering.
  • Feb. 27 The big day! We’re asking that you arrive for the chili cookoff at 2pm. We’ll decorate, set up and run through the audio and visual and make sure that everyone is on the same page before our guests arrive. We are anticipating a full crowd, so we hope you are ready for this! This is open to all youth. This is a fundraiser activity for the National Youth Gathering. 

FLY Unplugged & the BEST Superbowl Party in Southern Indiana

Here is a smattering of what’s coming up. I’m very psyched about the Super Bowl Party, thinking no ones going to wanna leave. And the chili cookoff is going to be pretty awesome, so make sure to check your calendars off. Here you go!

• FLY Unplugged! Last week was math night, this week Brooke’s guitar is unplugged to practice for Sunday School. Either way, bring the homework you have. From 5:30-7:30, you can hang out at 908 N. Woodbridge Dr. 47408. Snacks will be available but dinner will not be served. Questions? Call Peter at 345-7486.
• Superbowl Party! Make sure you come to FLY’s superbowl party at the spacious Hidden Falls Retreat Center near Bedford! Come to root on the Colts (we hope) and eat lots of food. Meet at the church at 4:30pm and bring soda, chips, salsa, or desserts enough to share. Any questions call Peter at 345-7486.
• Chili Cookoff This is one of the biggest fundraisers of the year, so if you are going to the National Youth Gathering you’ll want to make sure you are helping out! Of course this is open to everyone, and what we really need right now is your pot of chili or pan of cornbread. Sign up in the Narthex to make a meaty, veggie or “other” chili (these are your desert chilis, chili dogs, gummy worm chili and any thing you can dream up/find on the internet.).

Math in a Mansion & Gummy Worm Chili

Check it out:  Lots of folks have asked about dates and times etc. So we’re gonna blog the stuff of glory. Only the best and briefest for you FLY!

Recession Proof?

The Youth Stock Market opened September 06 to worries about congregation confidence. You see with a building addition half way up and the American economy in a recession, many youth stock market experts were voicing concern.

But fear not youth and your parents. The early estimates from the first months returns are in and the Youth Stock Market is half way to its goal of $2000!

With three months remaining in the market, many analysts close to the market predict just enough to send youth to the National Youth Gathering!
