Mullet for a Well

Last week I issued the challenge to raise money for a well in Uganda. If you are able to raise $500 by this Wednesday (April 30th) I will cut my hair into a sick mullet. This is a huge need in many communities in Uganda. It is a small way that we can show the love of Christ. This well will be built near a church. It will serve as a means for the church to meet the physical needs of those around them.

Couple of details:

• Any checks can be made out to AYA (allforyouth.org)
• For a look into the community click here
• We are trying to help reach a total of $1,500 and if we raise more than that, all the money will go toward another well

Disclaimer:

• My mullet may or may not look as sweet as the one above. Regardless I will wear it for a week and a half, including two Sundays.

Retreat in Review

Hey all! We had a great weekend together this past weekend. I am so glad to hear that you all enjoyed it and were challenged in your walks by our time together. It also sounds like most all of you were pretty sore. I think that would be the climbing wall working its magic on those muscles you don't use too often. Hopefully by now you have caught up on sleep and your body is recovering from to hardcore strain you may have put on it.

Out of curiosity... what was a highlight from the retreat?

Still room for more!

Hey! There is still time to register for the Spring Retreat. Not a ton of time but if you hurry, you can still register by April 2nd.

Make sure to let your friends know about the deadline.

Don't be late for church...

REMEMBER TO SET YOUR CLOCKS FORWARD.

Follow Up!

How's everybody doing with their commitments from Wednesday? It can get hard being the only one willing to take a stand for Christ at school or with unsaved friends so I thought it would be a good reminder to let you guys know that this can be a great place to get encouragement from each other throughout the week. When you tackle the opportunities for Christ, let us know!
