Teen Challenge Wish Lists

The lists are in the mail and on the way to your churches.  Currently the census at Teen Challenge is lower than it has been since I have been doing this.  Some of you may have less wish lists than you requested.  It is simply because I sent them all out.  We usually get more guys in between now and the party.  As they come in I will sent the information to you if you requested more baskets.  Thanks for your help in this area.  I am still in need of donations for the gift cards for staff if any of you would like to contribute in that way let me know as soon as possible.

This year Pastor Ken Keene will be ministering with drama.  We haave the worship team from VLAG.  We are looking for girls interested in ministering in talent as well.  If you have any girls interested let me know that as well.

As you are all busily headed into the holiday season, here are a few reminders to make the evening of the party run smoothly.

·         Party is Friday, December 7, 2011 at 6:30 p.m. at Gateway A/G

·         Reservations for the party are due by December 1^st.  Please call 330-583-2071 to with the number of people from your church that will be attending the party.  Please leave a message if no one answersJ.

·         Gateway will be providing all the paper products and coffee for the event.

·         Please bring your gift baskets and dinner for your church and the gentleman you are blessing with baskets for the evening. 

·         Take 1 gift out of your basket and place it under the designated tree when you arrive at the party.  This gift is for Christmas morning.  Please make sure you label it for your gentleman.

·         Teen Challenge will take the leftovers.  Please bring disposable containers if you would like to send the left overs home with them.

·         Gateway A/G and their pastors and staff have always been gracious hosts.   Please thank them for allowing us to use their facility and all they provide for us.  Be respectful of their generosity and kindness:  if you borrow something from them please remember to return it to them.

·         Please be sure to supervise your girls and boys that attend the party. 

·         If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to call me at 330-583-2071

I am looking forward to a great party again this year.  It is a wonderful way to start the Christmas gathering season by showing the heart of God to others as we minister to their needs.

Blessings,

Crystal
