It is definitely time to register for the Camp Jonah retreat! It starts in only 2 weeks! We’ll be going to Camp Jonah, in Trout Lake Washington, on January 13-16. That’s over Martin Luther King weekend (there’s no school on Monday, so we get to stay an extra day!). This retreat is by far the most important event for you to go to this school year!
It’s also important for you to turn in your registration forms NOW – because the cost goes up on January 2nd! So fill out the “Camp Jonah registration form” and the “Camp Jonah activities waiver” and turn them into Jeff this Sunday, along with your check.
You can use the forms that are in your Youth Group Newsletter. If you have lost them, you can print them out by clicking on the “Registration Forms” tab above… There is also a copy of the January Newsletter (front page only) with more info about the Camp Jonah retreat.
If you can’t get your forms to Jeff this Sunday (New Year’s Day), please mail them on Monday, January 2, and I’ll still let you go for the lower price. After that, you’ll have to pay the higher price.
So register, ask off from work and then GO and ENJOY! thanks, jeff

Hey everyone, we are going to have a special Youth Group “New Years Day party”, on Sunday January 1. It’ll be from 3-6pm at Tom and Judy Hinds’ house!
One of our breakfast teens, Sierra White, is wanting to get baptized that day. Lexie and I have been having Bible studies with her. She wants to do it on that day so she can have a “new year and a new me”.
As I was discussing this with Judy Hinds, she decided she would like to host a special party that day for ALL of the teens who were baptized in 2011. We’re also inviting their parents to join us. We think it’d be cool to honor those teens and also give their parents a chance to visit with the rest of the parents whose teens were baptized this year.
So the plan is for everyone meet at the Hinds house at 3:00pm. Their address is: 12350 SW 124th Ave, Tigard, OR.
Sierra will get bapized and then we’ll have the celebration. In addition to eating, visiting, singing and playing I also want us to break into our Small Groups for around 45 minutes. Tom and Judy are going to meet with any parents during that time, encouraging them and praying with them.
We should be done by 6:00pm. If the parents can’t stay for the whole thing, that’s okay; we’re encouraging them to come at the beginning as we honor their teens who were baptized this year.

We’ll be playing a game of “Small Mall” on Friday night, Dec 16, (tomorrow!) at Washington Square Mall!
“Small Mall” is our Youth Group version of playing “Hide-n-seek” in the mall. The teens will need to dress up in some way that they don’t normally dress. The adults will then come to the mall and try to find them. Whoever is found the least number of times will get free pizza afterwards! Everyone please bring $5 for pizza.
Meet at the SW church at 6:00pm, already in disguise. You will then sign in, go over the rules and ride the bus to the mall around 6:30pm. The adults will arrive at the mall at 7:00pm to look for you (we are meeting at the McDonalds down the street from SW, on Durham and highway 99, at 6:15pm). When an adult finds you, they need to say your first name.
We’ll be searching for you all at the mall for one hour, from 7-8pm. Everyone meet in the food court at 8:00pm. We’ll then go back to Southwest for the pizza party. We’ll be done eating pizza around 9:30pm.
See you there! jeff
