WAVE Update 4/19

WAVE UPDATE
"And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony." 
Colossians 3:14
 
Here's your WAVE Update for the week: 
 
1.  A reminder again that we have switched over to our very own texting service.  If you do not join this service, you wont receive any text announcements/updates.  Please take some time to do this in order to be in the know!  Text "@WAVEYOUTH" (without quotation marks) to the # 23559.  Once you have done this, it will ask you for a password.  The pw = "gracewave" (one word, no quotations).  After this, it will ask you to create a username in the group service.  Once you have completed this, you're in! The final reminder for this texting service will be at the end of this month. 
 
2.  Secondly, don't forget that TOMORROW we are going to Rocky Springs for the day!  Refer to your postcard you received in the mail for all details.  Be sure your female student follows the WAVE swimsuit policy (one pieces only & tankini's are acceptable - no bikinis).  If your female student does not follow these requirements, they will have to make other swimsuit arrangements before they are able to participate in any activities for the day.  Meet at the church at 8:45am.  Your student does not need any money for this trip.  Encourage them to invite friends!  We will be back at 5:00pm. 
 
3.  Thirdly, WAVE will still meet this Sunday, but will meet at 6:30 instead of 5:30 due to the Churchwide Crawfish Boil.  We will meet for an hour, ending at our regular time of 7:30.  If your student missed their Bible Readers Quiz last week, they can make it up from 7:30-8:00pm. 
 
4. Fourthly, next Saturday, April 27, from 10:00am-3:00pm, WAVE will be doing its last fundraiser for the Spring with our Spring Car Wash at Grace Chapel.  If you have any old towels, car sponges, or buckets that you can donate for the day, please send them with your student!  We look forward to serving the community and our congregation!  Be sure to go "muddin" before you come get your car cleaned! 
 
5. Lastly, our next Parents Meeting is next Sunday, April 28, from 4:00-5:00pm in the Media Room.  We will be discussing all summer plans, so please try to attend this important meeting! 
 
Hope you have a good weekend!  If you have any other questions or comments about anything, let me know!

WAVE Update 4/12

"Listen, my beloved brothers, has not God chosen those who are poor in the world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom, which he has promised to those who love him?" 
James 2:5
 Here's what's coming up in WAVE: 
 
1. A reminder that we have switched over to our very own texting service.  If you would like to receive text updates for all activities, text "@WAVEYOUTH" (without quotation marks) to the # 23559.  Once you have done this, it will ask you for a password.  The pw = "gracewave" (one word, no quotations).  After this, it will ask you to create a username in the group service.  Once you have completed this, you're in! This is the service we will be using from now on, so it's important to get your students and you of course put into the system so you can be in the know!  If you have any problems, let me know.    
2. Next Saturday, April 20, we will be going to Rocky Springs for the day.  Rocky Springs is an hour south down the Natchez Trace.  We will be spending the day out in God's creation from cooking out, swimming in a waterfall, playing frisbee, a scavenger hunt, and more!  We did this trip last year and the kids had a blast!  Be sure to check out the postcard in the mail for all details.
3. Thirdly, our next Fundraiser is on Saturday, April 27.  We will be having a car wash at Grace Chapel from 10:00am-3:00pm!  Be sure to have your student attend!  If you have any extra towels, buckets, and sponges that you are willing to donate for a few hours, please send them with your student!  We raised almost $700 at our last Fundraiser so I am excited to reach for that goal once again at the Car Wash! 
 
4. Lastly, our next Parents Meeting is on Sunday, April 28 at 4pm in the Media Room.  Please plan on attending this meeting!  We will be discussing the plans for the summer, including summer trips, curriculum, and weekly events.  You will receive the rough draft of the summer calendar at this time as well.
