Youth News: August 16th to 31st

It's hard to believe that on Aug 23rd, I will be starting my fourth year as the Youth Leader at RBC. Wow! How things have changed since I started. Going from 1 or 2 every Wednesday Night to now having around 10 on a weekly basis. With that said, you will notice a difference this year, my wife Alicia will be with us all year long and has some events planned for later as we go along that we are sure the youth will really enjoy. Be looking for announcements in the coming "Youth News" so that you can mark it down on your calendar and also so your children can tell their friends, because wouldn't it be awesome to have 20 kids on a weekly night! I will remind you that if your children have any ideas of places we can go to do activities we are always open to suggestions.

The biggest events that we have going on in the latter part of the month is the Church Work Day, which happens to be tomorrow and Night Light. The work day is an opportunity for the church to come together and spruce up the church, but in this case we are going to be painting our Youth room. We are trying to redo the Youth room so that it is inviting and has some really neat things on the walls to get the kids thinking about the Lord in a positive way. Also this will allow our current students to take ownership of the room and what is in it.

The second big event is Night Light. Night Light is a all-night kickball event that is held at the High Point ballfield (right next to High Point R-III Schools). This event was started in 2000, to find a way to use sports to reach kids for Christ. This is the 15th year of the event and the students that can participate must be a 6th - 12th Grade as of this school year. (August 2014) After back to school blast I handed out release waiver forms to the students and they need to fill these out and bring them back to me, along with $10 for the T-shirt, so they can play. If you need a form please let me know, ASAP. (WE NEED GIRLS, AT LEAST 5 TO PLAY)

Lastly, we are trying to reach parents and students via Facebook and email, but in order to do so we need you to give us your email address to add to the list and you can go to Facebook and look for Russellville Baptist Youth Group and ask if you can become a member, it's that easy. Then you will know what we have coming up and it will remind you so you don't forget. Also I inserted my lovely wife's August calendar that she made up with pictures and descriptions of the remaining events coming up in August.

Thanks, Tony Amos

We will be participating in the years Night Light on Sunday August 31st at 2:00 pm. This event will be a kickball tournament and I need the kids to pay $10 to cover the cost of the T-Shirt. This years tournament will be over around 2:00 am and we should have the kids home soon there after. You will need a waiver form to play so we need that signed. If you need extra waiver forms please let me know.
