Event: CAL-Skate Night CANCELLED

Sorry about the bad news, but we have CANCELLED our Cal-Skate Event tonight due to rain. Unfortunately, this also means we WILL NOT be meeting for our normal youth service, but we will resume meeting next Thursday. On a better note, we will see you Saturday for two events:

1. the Jesus Center (High School)
2. the Hoe-Down

We need a Name... Any ideas?

Ok, well I am not quite sure what everyone understood last week, but we didn't get any noteworthy Youth Group names. This makes me wonder, "Did I do a good job of explaining what is going on with this whole name thing?" So here is my attempts to clean up whatever confusion I caused.

Here at EFCC Student Ministries we have decided that it would be cool to name our youth group something. Were NOT trying to name the new youth room, but instead we are trying to give ourselves a name outside of EFCC Student Ministries. We want to be able to have a name so that you can begin calling us something. For instance, if someone asked what are you doing on Thursday night? You can respond by saying, "I am going to RIOT". See, RIOT is an example of a name for the youth group.

So here is my question. What is your ideas for a name? We are going to collect ideas for the next couple of weeks and then make a decision on the NEW name of our youth group. I can't wait to here your ideas. Thanks!

As many of the you know the EFCC Student Ministries is moving! With the move comes an awesome opportunity for us to make a room in the church our own.

With the permission of EFCC the Student Ministries is taking over the Fireside Room. Here is the problem though, we need to give this room a makeover. For those of you that are interested in helping us turn this room upside down we would like to invite you to join us Sunday, October 24 where we will do exactly that. After church we will provide pizza for anyone who would like to stay and help us transform this room. More details are below:

When: Sunday, Oct. 24

Time: After the 2nd Church service - 5 pm

Where: Fireside Room

Bring: Anything that you would like to contribute the room. For example - maybe you have posters, pictures, frames, etc. that you would like to donate to the room. Were not promising that all your stuff will be put up but it would be cool for all of us to bring something and we will just see what we use and what we don't.

Come join us my friends!
