This week's newsletter from Steve

I hope that you had a wonderful Labor Day with your family and friends! Now that the summer is winding down, can we put in an order for some cooler weather? I sure hope it comes soon!

This Sunday, September 13th, immediately following the Sunday School/Bible Study hour (about 12:15 PM), we will be having a Parent Meeting in the Summit (3rd Floor) for about 30 minutes. It will be a short meeting, so there will be no need for ordering in any lunch this time. The purpose of this meeting will be to give you all the information for our annual Youth Fund-Raiser that is coming up. Yes, that’s right… Craft Show is almost here, and our team is already hard at work putting it all together.

Not sure what Craft Show is? Well, during the last Friday and Saturday of October each year, we turn the adult classroom hallway, the MPC, and the 1st floor of the education building into a huge crafts fair that is open to the public. We also make and serve enchiladas, cake, soup, and much more during this weekend. Our students and parents spend time working shifts during the Craft Show, and the days leading up to Craft Show. At the end, we take the total profit and divide it by the total number of hours worked. This allows us a “per hour” rate that we use to calculate how much a student can earn towards camps, retreats, etc. for 2016.

Want to find out more? Come to the meeting on Sunday! We would love to discuss it with you! See you there!
