Some of you went with the group to see this in theaters in the Spring. Now that it’s out on DVD, we will be showing this on Friday, September 3.
Plot Summary:
Jake Taylor has everything. He has a beautiful girl, he’s the champion in basketball and beer pong, and everyone loves him. Then, an old childhood friend, whom Jake used to be friends with, commits suicide. Jake begins to think. He wonders what he could’ve done to save his friend’s life. A youth minister tells him that Jake needs God. So Jake becomes a Christian. However, things begin to spin out of control. His dad is cheating on his mom, his girlfriend is pregnant, and his former friends ridicule and mock him. During all this, Jake is going to realize just what it means to be a Christian and how, to save a life.
This movie reminds us about what it means to care for those who are around us, and to step out of our comfort zones to reach people… all appropriate at the start of the school year to remind us of loving others like Christ.

CLICK HERE FOR FAMINE PERMISSION SLIP
What: 30 Hour Famine is an annual event that raises awareness for world hunger and poverty. Students fast (i.e. go without food) for 30 hours; only water and juice are allowed. In addition, students ask friends, classmates, teachers, etc. to sponsor them with a donation amount for fasting. This money will all go to World Vision, a Christian organization committed to meeting global needs.
Why:
- Because in America, most of us have everything we ever could need or want, and we don’t know what it feels like to lack food.
- Because it forces us to remember that people in the world go hungry every day.
- Because we are reminded that we CAN do something about it.
- Because we need to get out of our comfort zones and learn to serve other people.
When: April 9-10, 2019 (Friday-Saturday)
How?
- Download a permission slip [here], read it, and get your parents to sign it.
- Turn the permission slip & get a Famine Envelope from Andy Last day to turn in permission slips & get a Famine envelope is MARCH 28th!
- Go out and tell your friends, teachers, neighbors, etc. about why you are doing this, and ask if they would sponsor you.
- Collect all your sponsors’ donations before the Famine
- On Friday, April 9th, you stop eating after lunch (around 12:00-1:00), and come that night to Youth Group

Saturday, November 28 2009 @ North Cary Park
10:00a.m. – 1:00p.m. (Lunch from 12:00-1:00)
This year everyone will be eating on Thanksgiving Thursday, AND the church has a potluck on Friday night. What better way to work off that extra food than to run around a bit on Saturday morning.Basic Information:
- This will be two-hand-touch or flag football. In other words, this is a no-contact, no tackling event. We do not want any injuries. So if you were afraid to play because you didn’t want to be tackled or injured, then this’ll make you feel better!
- Permission slips are required for ALL participants, including guests/visitors. No permission slip means no playing. **Click Here for Permission Slip [PDF]**
- Only students in grades 7th-12th are allowed to play; no college students or younger-age-siblings.
- We will have teams that will be fair for both genders, all ages, and all abilities. Everyone will get a chance to play!
- We will also have a game of Ultimate Frisbee going
The following questions might be ones that you have. Read through, and if you still have a question, then please e-mail Andy.
- I have no interest in football at all. Why should I still come? Because football is only part of what Turkey Bowl is about. More importantly, it’s a chance to have fun together as a youth group. Although we will be playing games & in teams, the purpose is not hard competition. It’s going to be fun, even a little silly! Actually, most of the youth group doesn’t really play football either, so it’ll be fun to watch everyone run around, making the same mistakes, and laughing about it together!
- Can I bring my friends? Yes you can! However, friends also need a permission slip to play.
- What if I’m no good at football? That’s ok! It’s all just for the fun of it. We also will have rules & such to make it fair and easy for everyone, not just for “athletic types”.
- I really don’t want to get hurt… is it safe? Yes it is safe! Last year we had NO injuries in Turkey Bowl. In other churches in the past, usually the worst injury might be a sprained ankle if you trip on something or accidentally land on your foot wrong. Since this is a sport, there is always the POSSIBILITY for injury (accidents can happen), but generally, we’ve rarely had sports-related injuries.

Our Youth Group will be going to the State Fair that night! If you want to come, please read the following carefully:
- Advance tickets through the YG will be taken if you order & pay by October 11. If you get tickets through another source (i.e. mom/dad’s company), that’s fine too.
- Tickets are $1 if you are 12 years old, and $5 for everyone else
- Advance ride tickets (sheet of 18) are $10; at the fair, those are $1 per ticket. Most rides cost 2-3 tickets to ride on. So you and a friend can choose to split a sheet of 18. But one person needs to order & pay for the sheet (and you split it among yourselves later)
- There is ALSO going to be a Third Day concert (Christian rock/worship group)… $15 for that ticket. That is IN ADDITION to paying for an admission ticket ($1/$5). The concert starts at 7:30pm. That means you’ll only have about an hour to spend in the fair before the concert.
If you have questions, please ask Andy!
