White Elephant Gift Exchange
This Sunday evening will be filled with a fun Christmas themed game and a White Elephant gift exchange. NOTE! - White Elephant gifts are supposed to be funny or joke gifts. When your student brings a gift, it should not be anything of great value. (Think something from the dollar store, thrift store, or something from that cluttered drawer or closet at your house!) We’re looking forward to a fun evening of laughter and fellowship together!
Decorating Party
To get into the holiday mood, we’ll be spending part of our time on Sunday evening decorating the Student Loft!
No Sunday Evening Programming
With the Fall Retreat ending this Sunday, we want volunteers and students to have a chance to rest after an amazing weekend together!
High School Fall Retreat
Our Fall Retreat is a great way for students to connect with God, each other, and adult volunteers on a deeper level as we join two other youth groups at Camp Allendale. School is a busy time, and this weekend is a great way to set aside daily life for a concentrated time talking about our faith. If your student enjoyed CIY this past summer, they’ll LOVE this!
We will leave from the church on Friday, Nov. 17 at 5:45 p.m. and return to the church on Sunday, Nov. 19 in the early afternoon (after lunch). Your student will need to eat dinner BEFORE arriving at the church on Friday night.
We only have 19 spots available for students, so make sure to sign up as soon as possible to reserve your spot. The “early bird” price for the trip is $155 until Oct. 22nd. On Oct. 23rd, the regular rate for the trip will increase to $170. Registration is open Oct. 8-Nov. 3.
Fall Bonfire
This annual bonfire is a great touchstone for students to invite their friends to something special! From 5 - 8 p.m. we’ll be having a large bonfire, playing different games, eating food together, and hearing testimonies from two students. This year’s bonfire will take place at the Jacksons’ house, so email Blake for the address. See you there!
Costume Party
During our regular group time, we’ll be hosting a costume party here for students. Come prepared with a costume to compete in our costume contest!

Our Game Night will be another great opportunity for students to invite their friends to a night full of board games, card games, and fellowship. See you there!
High School Get Together

Main dishes will be provided, but students should bring a side dish, dessert, or drink for the evening.
