TRANSFORM happens every week; FNF happens only on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th Fridays. This is a bit confusing to some of you, I know! All the details and explanations will be in your information packets that are coming to students and their parents/guardians by snail mail ASAP! We'll also make our best attempt to post information on line. Bear with us as we make the adjustments for 2009-2010 as we've had several large delays in getting this all together. But don't worry, we WILL get it together!

Fall Youth Ministry @ FCC Is Almost Here!

Hey everyone!

It's been good to see some of you over the summer; others we've missed a lot! But whether you have been around the Firehouse or FCC at all this summer or not, one thing is sure: It's September, and that means we are gearing up for our Fall Youth Ministry Programs. We're excited about the possibilities and looking forward to seeing many of you on a more regular basis. We are in the process of putting together information packets that will be mailed to you homes; so if you have moved, please drop us a line at:

fnf@fccperu.org

We'll also e-mail you information if you have a valid e-mail address with us.

In addition, don't forget to be watching your bulletins from our MySpace page.

Plus, we'd love it if you'd become a fan of FCC Youth Ministries at our Facebook page!

That is all for now; be watching for information in the next 4-8 days!

FNF for 4/17

Hi everyone-

Looks like we should have a great nite for Friday Nite Fire tomorrow - we'll be open for our normal hours from 6:30 - 9:30. Hope everybody had a great spring break and a Happy Easter! See you tomorrow!

April 3rd

Remember: This Friday nite is "Wild Fire" - The Passion of the Christ. We will be showing the movie "The Passion Of The Christ" on the big screens.

The Firehouse will open promptly at 6:30 PM, with the movie beginning as close as possible to 6:45 PM. So if you don't want to miss anything, be sure to be there on time! We will keep the doors open until 10 PM which will include roughly 45 minutes to an hour after the movie, during which time we'll give you an opportunity to respond to what you've seen.

17 and older get in as normal. If you are 16 and under, since this is an R-rated movie (due to the graphic nature/violence shown of Jesus' crucifixion, you must have EITHER:

1.) A parent/guardian signed, notarized permanent yellow release form on file (or bring it with you) with the "Passion" check-box marked "yes." If you need to get your form notarized a parent/guardian can bring it by the office at First Christian Church during the week. It's best to call ahead (473-3105) to make sure the notary will be available when you plan on being there.

OR:

2.) A parent/guardian signed "Movie Release Form" (does not need to be notarized) on file (or bring it with you).

No one 16 and under will be allowed in this Friday without one of those two items.

Please remember that if you are coming to Wild Fire this week it is to watch the Passion of the Christ movie. We want everyone that wants to be there to be there - but we also do not want anyone to be there who is going to choose to be a distraction to others. All upstairs areas will be closed, but there will be popcorn, etc, available in the cafe and the cafe will be open for purchases.

See you Friday!

FNF for 3/20

We are just about ready to go for tonite!

Capacity will once again be 48.

Make sure you bring a notarized permanent release from if you have not done so yet. Remember, you only get in 3 times without one now that the deadline has passed!

We'll see you tonite @ the Firehouse!

FNF for 3/13

Just a quick update to let you know that we are on track for tonite, Friday March 13th. I don't have "numbers" for you but can tell you that last week we did have to "hold" a few people downstairs until there was room for them. So if you wanna get in...be there early!

Also, make SURE you have your ID card or NOTARIZED yellow release form on you- some of you are approaching the "third strike" pretty quickly- once you've been in 3 times without a permanent yellow release form (notarized), you will not be allowed in again until you turn it in. So get it done! :)

See you tonite...

REMINDER

Just a reminder to everyone that there is NO FRIDAY NITE FIRE on February 27th.

This is a planned nite off, not a cancellation! :)

So make sure you tell everyone you know!

We will be back live at the Firehouse on Friday March 6th (and hopefully, every Friday in March...that's the plan!).

Also please note that there will be no TRANSFORM on Sunday March 1st (same weekend as no Fire), but we'll be back and ready to go for Sunday March 8th!

In the meantime, if you need anything...just let us know...

FNF for 2/13 is CANCELLED

Hi everyone-

Please disregard the previous post....

There will be NO FNF this week. A number of our planned staff for the evening are sick or have sick family they are taking care of, and we felt we did not have quite enough staff to open up with.

We hope to see you either @ Transform on Sunday 2/15 @ 6 pm, or next week at Fire!

Sorry about not being able to let you know sooner. If you decided to show up and didn't read this until after the fact...well, at least you got a little fresh air on your way down to the Firehouse!

Enjoy your weekend...

FNF for 2/13 - Tonite!

It's "Friday the 13th" tonite at FNF! We'll be continuing our series, "Sex 501" (and you thought you had it all figured out by now, didn't ya'?). I do not yet know the "capacity limit" for tonite, so make sure you are at the doors @ 6:30, ready to get in!

DON'T FORGET:

*If you haven't turned in your YELLOW, NOTARIZED permanent release form - bring it!

*Students with ID cards can check in by giving their ID to the person at the registration table.

*Students without ID cards need to turn in their Yellow, Notarized permanent release form (or, pick up your ID card if you have turned in the form already).

*Students without ID card AND without forms will be allowed in only AFTER everyone else. You are operating on a "3 strike" system- you will be allowed in 3 times without a yellow form...after that...NO ENTRANCE without a form (if you are 18 or older, you can fill out your own form)/ID card.

See you tonite, and then on Sunday @ 6 pm for TRANSFORM!

Job Opportunities!

If you are a High School Student age 16 or older, this one is for you: Visit the blog over at Main Street & Broadway for information on job opportunities out at Grissom Air Reserve Base.

They pay very well for student employment, so don't miss the opportunity if you need cash (who doesn't, right?) and want to work hard and gain skills for now and the future!

We'll be having FNF all four Friday's in March. There are a couple of things on the schedule for February, so we needed to take a couple of Friday's off. We just wanted to let you know.

Don't forget that our FCC Youth Group meets on Sunday nites at the Firehouse from 6-8 PM for "TRANSFORM" - if you are looking for more in your relationship with God and do not have a church/youth group you are a part of, we invite you to join us as we worship, pray, play games, give away "old dust covered prizes," and talk about what Jesus is doing in our lives, our church, our community, and our world. We are spending the spring semester learning about prayer. If you need transportation, just let us know. See you then, or, on "Friday the 13th"!

FNF Update for January 30th

Hi everyone -

Just a quick note to let you know that our capacity is VERY limited tonite. We will not be able to allow more than 46 students in the building tonite as of the moment. Last week we had close to 75 of you at FNF, so, if you plan on getting in the door, make sure you are lined up EARLY!

Just wanted to make sure anyone that would check here would know that we are good to go for tomorrow night, January 23rd - 6:30 - 9:30 as always.

FNF IS CANCELLED FOR TONITE

Hi everyone-

Due to the dangerously cold temperatures and wind chills, the fact that Peru schools have been closed for 2 days, and not wanting to place any of our own staff at risk as well as students, we have decided to CANCEL Friday Nite Fire for tonite, January 16th.

PLEASE NOTE:

*The DEADLINE for the yellow, permanent release forms will be moved up to NEXT Friday, January 23rd. Those of you who get your forms turned in will be able to pick up your ID Cards beginning Friday, January 30th. You will NOT get a new ID Card without a signed, notarized, permanent release form. Specific entrance requirements to FNF in regard to new ID cards, etc, will be detailed soon @ FNF and here on the blog.

*There WILL be TRANSFORM this Sunday, January 18th @ 6 PM, as always. If you need a ride to get to TRANSFORM, please e-mail (phil AT fccperu DOT org, OR, transforminghope AT gmail DOT com) or call (473-3105) and let us know; we'll make sure we get you there! See you on Sunday, or, next Friday!

STAY INSIDE AND KEEP WARM!

Reminder!

The yellow, permanent release forms are DUE THIS FRIDAY, January 16th!

Please make sure you have your parent or guardian get the form notarized and bring it to us by this Friday nite. There will be a volunteer on hand this week who can notarize the form but your parent/guardian MUST BE PRESENT to sign it. Your parent/guardian may also drop by the main FCC building and have our administrative secretary do the notarization for them, free of charge, between the hours of 8 am and 5 pm Monday through Friday. If you need to pick up a form you may also do so at the office or get on this Friday nite!

It's going to be a COLD nite this Friday as we are sure you know by now! So dress warm and join us for Friday Nite Fire @ 6:30 PM @ the Firehouse. During "The Third Shift" (a.k.a. "Bay Time") , we'll be continuing our series, "Sex 501". So, be there! See you tomorrow!
