Weekly Digest

Hi, Church!

After a few weeks of no announcements, we have a big one for this week!  Read on!

Coming Soon: REEL Joy 2012:  REEL Joy is an annual film-festival that the Youth Group (YG) puts on together with Redeemer Community Partnership (RCP) and Street Lamp Studio.  This year our theme is "Belonging, Family and Home" and for the next several weeks we'll teach on this theme from scripture while leading our youth through the process of creating their own short films.  It's a super fun time that ends with a film screening and "Red Carpet Sunday" service at church, and has been a major way that God has brought new kids to the Youth Group. 

We're expecting 40-50 kids and need some volunteer help for the upcoming REEL Joy Monday nights!  Here are some volunteer opportunities:

- Provide rides to and/or from REEL Joy on some or all REEL Joy Monday nights: 2/20, 2/27, 3/5, 3/12, 3/19, 3/26
- Provide snacks - there are two dates, 2/27 and 3/12 that we'd love to have some help with snacks. 
- Pray for the youth!  Elliot will be sending weekly prayer updates about REEL Joy.

There will be sign ups at church on Sunday for these volunteer opportunities.  As the time for the screening and Red Carpet Sunday gets closer, there will also be lots of opportunity to serve during those events as well.  We will announce those when it's time.

I hope you all have a great weekend!

Take care,
Kat
