COOKIES! CANDY!

KITCHEN

I am so pleased to be able to announce that Ken and Leslie Schwartz from Immanuel Webster are heading up our kitchen team this year. Ken and Leslie are veterans of Winter Weekend and have wonderful kitchen experience as well. Gunnar Antell and Bill Santangelo are back as well. I’m told that we can look forward to Real Homemade Italian Meatballs. Yum!

Don’t forget that each Family Group will be assigned to help in the kitchen for one meal, either to help serve the meal or to help with clean up - yes, that means dishes!

***************************

PREPARE FOR IMPACT

Our theme is “Prepare for Impact”, and we want to know,

“How has Christ/ church/ your pastor/ Winter Weekend impacted your life?”

Choose one (or someone else who has impacted you) and make us a video! You can make an individual video or work with your Youth Group. Have fun with it!

You can use a flip video, I-phone, webcam, or a video camera and show us your stuff, YouTube style. (They will NOT be shown on YouTube, but may be a part of WW slideshows). You can send videos to office@atonementrochester.org.

Prizes will be awarded! But we don’t care if it’s interview style, movie style, simple or creative, we just want to hear YOUR stories. Deadline has been extended to February 21, 2010.

There will also be an opportunity to make “video diaries” during the weekend - your chance to tell your story (3-5 minutes) about the impact of Winter Weekend.

Don’t be shy!

**************************

CALLING ALL MUSICIANS!

Do you play an instrument? Guitar? Tambourines? Trumpet? Spoons? Flute? Anything else? Have a beautiful voice?

We’re looking for youth musicians to play with our musicians during large group worship and praise time at Winter Weekend.

If you think you might be interested, please contact Will Daubney at wilbercss95@hotmail.com or Dennis Paulhamus at menace7208@earthlink.net. See info form on the back of this page.

MUSIC, MUSIC, MUSIC!

Every youth is encouraged to submit at *least 3 song requests for the DJ to play at the dance on Saturday night. Suggestions can be emailed to Brother Christopher at yfm@atonementrochester.org
