ATTENTION YC Members & Youth Sunday School Teachers!!
SUPERDUPER HUGE-O Youth Leader Training
This leadership resource can generate some good conversation among our student ministry leadership. Let me know if there are any takers. This is a weekday and we would have to leave at the latest 4:30pm and return around 10:30pm. This will be FREE to our Student SS Teachers and High School YC members and a MEAL is included! The only cost to you is your time.
Date, Time & Location
Nov. 3 (Tuesday), 6-9pm, Wilkesboro Baptist Church
Meal Included -----Door Prizes & iPod Giveaway
Check your schedule and let me know by this Sunday if there are any takers. I am already registered. I will register any other takers. This can be a quick training trip that I believe can benifit our student ministry. The materials covered in the Sunday school training will be LifeWay; however, the strategies will be transferrable. Just let me know by Oct. 28th!!
Be.Do.Tell. ----The Student Ministry division of the NC State Convention presents this opportunity to receive some exciting and relevant training that will help student ministries. Training will be offered in the following areas: youth sunday school, youth missions, youth discipleship, youth worship, transitions after graduation, youth ministry planning.

3-on-3 Tournament Results
What a great start to an annual basketball tournament for world hunger! The weather was chilly and sunny. Some community turned out to have a great afternoon at North Meck Park full of competition and world hunger support. $227 was raised not to include the gracious donation of the park's usage. Kudos to Huntersville Parks & Recreation!! The community fellowship alone was priceless!
Congrats to Jacob Rivera for owning the free throw & the 3-point competition. Garren Thomas walked home with the half-court trophy. Congratulations also goes out to the "Iron Starz" & "The Tigers" for winning the 1st place trophies in the 1st & 2nd brackets. This year's prizes were 2 UNCC anytime tickets per person, Bobcat t-shirts, Chick-fil-a coupons, trophies and bragging rights! Of course the real reward was knowing that some individuals who wouldn't have food on their tables...now do! To God be the Glory!!
More Kudos go out to the Charlotte 49ers Athletics which donated all those great basketball tickets, the Awards North for their donation of the wonderful trophies & the Chick-Fil-A in Huntersville for their generous donation of meal coupons. You all ROCK!!
A SPECIAL THANKS goes out to Tatum, Garren Thomas, Andrew Danner, John Novak, Rob Stephens, David Hartman, Aaron Adams & Arturo Moreno. Your involvement helped make this event successful!

Upward Basketball Evaluations Need Youth Helpers
Upward Basketball evaluations are occurring next week (Oct. 19, 20, 22) at LNBC from 6-9pm. Garren Thomas, the First Baptist Church coordinator for Upward, is looking for youth assistance (10th - 12th grade). Contact Garren directly if you are will and able to help.
LAST CHANGE TO GO WITH FBC-YOUTH TO NASCAR 500
If you wish to attend this event with the FBC youth, tonight will be the last plug Marcus will make for it. He calls in the numbers in the morning. They leave from the church at 11am and return to the church around 9:30pm. The concert(s) will run from 2-6:30pm and the race will begin at 7:30pm. This schedule will allow traffic going to the track, tailgating (bring $ or food for lunch/supper), concert(s) and then an hour & 1/2 of the race. Cost is only $30.

3-on-3 Basketball Tournament
We need teams to sign-up for this event. Contact your friends and get them aboard today! This is going to be a whole lot of fun. The weather also looks like its going to be pretty. So get busy drumming up business among your peers for this basketball extravaganza at North Meck Park and help us reduce hunger!
Preparing for the Children's HARVEST FESTIVAL - Oct. 28th
I hope everyone has begun to choose a game station for our Children's Harvest Festival which they will be responsible for on Oct. 28 from 6-7:30pm. This year our youth will sponsor the Harvest Festival. The Youth Council felt the Sunday school classes would be the best route to facilitate this event and began spreading the word last Sunday for station assignments. The most recent station ideas were the fishing booth, cookie decorating, cup-cake walk, Bing-bag toss, face painting, etc. If your Sunday school class has decided on a station they would like to be responsible for, please contact Marcus as soon as possible at mmims@fbc-h.org. Remember to contact the church office to make your supper reservations (hot dog meal) if you plan to eat at the church.
