Revolution Discovery Night

Filed under Community Events

Revolution Discovery Night

Tonight (Wednesday Nov 16th) we are inviting everyone from the local Church community to come to a special information night at the Youth Centre, starting at 7pm. You will learn all about Revolution Youth, here testimonies from teens, and maybe even participate in some UPRISE activities. A light Supper will be provided. See the flyer that is attached. Feel free invite others from your Church and other Churches in town.

Summer Camp Meeting

We are having a planning meeting for Summer Camp 2012 this Saturday (Nov 19th). If you are interested in coming to the meeting or need more details, talk to Jono.

Summer Camp Fundraisers

We have a few fundraisers in the pipeline for the Summer Camp. We have a car wash at Ando’s coming up (date to be confirmed at the date we did have got change due to a miscommunication and is now taken by someone else).Some of the teens have been busily working to organise a special fundraiser—a Movie Night at the Pool on Saturday Dec 3rd. These teens are passionate about it, and it is great to see them take the lead in organising. They are looking for volunteers to fulfil certain roles so please talk to Brooke O’Neill, Kaylee Horne, Caitlin Phoebe, James Lavers, or Katie Enriquez (or one of the other teens). I believe that Kaylee is incharge of volunteers.

We are also looking at doing a Sausage Sizzle at Two Dog in mid December, so stay tuned for more detail.

– Revolution Youth aims to reach the youth of Merredin and surrounds, and connect them with Christians that will help and encourage them to grow closer to God, produce Godly fruit, and discover a life that honours Jesus as Lord, Saviour, and King.
