World Changers Cincinnati!!

Our summer mission trip this year will be in Cincinnati, Ohio.  I know you all loved experiencing World Changers Birmingham last year, so I wanted to give you another opportunity to serve (this time for 4 days of work).

In addition to spending 4 days working, we will actually leave Hamburg early and get a hotel room on July 5th so that we can spend July 6th at the Creation Museum in Petersburg, KY.  If you are not familiar with the Creation Museum, go to creationmuseum.org and check it out!  I've been wanting to take a group up there, but now we have a reason to go for more than just a day's visit at a museum. The total cost of the trip is $250 which doesn't include any deductions that may apply from fundraiser involvement.  I spoke last night with a group of students about the trip, and they are all interested and pumped for this trip.  Even though it will be an over 10-hour trip, I definitely see great memories on the horizon and I can't wait to share in them with you! Sign ups will start immediately at the ROC! See you Wednesday!!

Super Summer Registration NOW OPEN!!

Students, I hope you're as pumped as I am about Super Summer this year!  It's going to be phenomenal.  Each year, it gets better and better!  I predict this year we will have the largest group attending camp that we have ever had... Check out the promo trailer for this year:

Planning Underway for July Mission Trip

Plans are starting to take shape for a mission trip opportunity at Casa Aleluya (Mike and Dottie Clark's children's home) in Guatemala! Up to this point, there have only been rumors of plans and possibilities, but now we have work being done and the ball is rolling. I can tell you that the cost per person at the facility we would be staying at would be $35 per day (which includes all meals, rooming, transportation from airport and back to airport, as well as transportation to Antigua for "an off day of touring"). I'm also working with a reliable travel agent to get us the best possible flight setup for the trip with the lowest cost. On your part, if you are interested in accompanying us on this wonderful trip/opportunity/experience, you'll need to start the process of getting a passport if you don't already have one. Immunizations are not required, but the decision to get them will be strictly up to you. Starting this week in the ROC, students will be able to sign up for the trip. I hope that you are as excited about this opportunity as I am, and I hope you will be "all in" as next summer approaches.

SPRING BREAK TRIP ANNOUNCED!!!

This year we're going to head back to Doe River Gorge in the Hampton, TN area.  We last journeyed there in 2009, and I have to say that it was one of my favorite trips/places to go.  

The total cost of the trip (per person) is $300 before any fundraisers that we do.  It's highly possible for the cost to come all the way down to just the amount of the deposit required from each participant ($100).  This $100 will need to be turned in immediately so that we can mail in our group deposit and secure our retreat.  

The retreat is unique in that we will have the entire complex to ourselves.  We stay in a multi-story lodge (boys separate from girls) and the bottom floor of the lodge has a meeting room for us to have group worship times each night.  

Each day will be filled with team-building activities and challenges such as technical tree climbing, paintball, and rappelling.  Our group will be split into two smaller groups and we will be assigned to trained professionals to encourage us and help keep us safe at each activity.

The students will be signing up for this trip at the ROC starting this week, so please click on & download the following documents (release form & what to bring list) and print them out.  

• RELEASE FORM
• WHAT TO BRING

Once we get everyone signed up, I will host a meeting after church to discuss the trip and go over everything you'll need to know!  Please also consider chaperoning the trip... It really is a lot of fun! You'll make lots of memories and get lots of really cool pictures!
