SoulPassion.org First Baptist Church Youth Group

Just a reminder that all of us – the youth and college group – will be hosting hospitality this coming Sunday, February 26th.

Please see the Facebook Event and Sign Up to bring something! We need everyone’s help.

Here are the basic instructions from Diane Hayden.

Hospitality works best  with each person brings one – two items. We have one nut free table and one store bought table.  Set up usually begins about 10:15 make coffee… 1 cup of decaf coffee to 15 cups of water.  For the regular coffee 1 1/2 cup to 25 cups of water works best! Plug- in right away!  Set up two tables with tablecloth for center of the room. Use the napkins, paper plates and paper plates that are available for hospitality use.   (Kerrie Fraser has asked that we keep this table against the wall as the children  sit around the white circle on the floor in fellowship hall during Seeds. time)   Be sure to cover the goodies with a tablecloth when you go up to worship service.  At the last song, make your way downstairs to put out the cream and apple juice (will be provided) for the kids ( pour several half cups of apple juice). Replace tables to center of room at the beginning of hospitality hour.

You will find FBC aprons  to protect your clothing while serving   Finally, clean up and put away dishes etc. Extra food may be marked, dated and place in freezer. Be sure to mark the nut free table. Clean up should begin about 12:30…start clearing off the tables….with the hope that everyone is out by 1:00  Please make sure everything is dried and put away , before leaving!

Can’t wait to eat your guy’s food this coming Sunday!

We’re on for youth group from 6-8pm! Come on out and bring your friends. These are the catechism questions we’ll be discussing tonight. If you’re a parent, please try and review over these with your kids sometime this week. Thanks! FBC Intern  -Jonathan Romig

Hey Team,

We’re on for hospitality hour on February 26th, which is in 3.5 weeks. Both the youth and college and young adults are teaming up to create a great hour of snacks and chatting. Never volunteered before? No worries! This can be your first! We need one store-bought table and one nut-free table! We have plenty of options of things we can bring: veggies, cheese and crackers, cookies, muffins, donuts, bagels, fruit, cupcakes on sticks (see photo) and anything else you want to buy or make!

I know this is an early announcement, but I want you to go ahead and think about what you can bring. Click the following sign-up link to write down who you are and what you’re bringing. Make sure you list what quantity you’re going to bring! Click HERE to see the sign up sheet!

We’ll also need people to sign up to help make coffee and set out the food. If you bring something, make sure you get it set up. I have every confidence in us!

Go team!

That’s right folks. We’re ordering pizza this coming Sunday. So come hungry (aka. Don’t eat dinner before you come)!!! We’ll order some delicious pizza toward the start of the game so that we can enjoy some for dinner as we hang out. Remember to bring other munchies!

Don’t forget that this event is at Ben Pyke’s house (email youth@fbcreading.org or FB Monic or Jonathan for the address, but don’t FB Mikey, cause he might send you to the wrong place so he gets your pizza)

6pm on Superbowl Sunday (Feb 5th)

Ends when the game ends.

Go Broncos!

We’re going to watch some football and play some games and have a grand ol’ time!

Come to Ben Pyke’s house (email youth@fbcreading.org or FB Monica for the address)
6pm on Superbowl Sunday (Feb 5th)

Ends when the game ends.

We’ll bring the drinks, you bring the snacks.

SPEAKING of snacks,
if you’d like to tell us what you plan on bringing, that could make sure we don’t have 15 people bringing sauerkraut. Whats that? Sauerkraut isn’t a traditional Super Bowl food? What football do YOU watch?
…You get the idea. Feel free to comment here or on the FB event.

Everyone can bring friends!!

As always, questions? email or comment here.
