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!

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!

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...

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"!
