To Chicago and the beach Sat., Aug. 16

Well, it's always an adventure isn't it. On Saturday, August 16 we will be leaving from Courtland Avenue Friends Church at 7am for Chicago. We will be taking our bicycles with us. When we get there we are going to ride on the bike path right along the lake shore of Chicago. We will spend several hours at one of Chicago's great beaches and then returning to our starting point.

Please bring a bicycle, bathing suit, backpack, liability and medical form, and money for lunch and dinner.

Make sure you bring your liability and medical form that can be downloaded and printed from the list on the right side of the RISE web page.

Questions call Joe 765-271-9602

Oh, one last thing..., there will be something unusual happening that day as well. Should be very cool!

VBS July 21 - 25 6-8pm

Vacation Bible School is a really cool time to introduce some younger kids to what we do here at Courtland Avenue Friends Church. If you are currently part of RISE I am asking you to come and help us as associate leaders for that week. If you want to come help try and be at Courtland by 5:45pm and we will get you set up. Thanks to all those who are already committed to helping out.

Because VBS will be meeting in the evening there will be no RISE Discipleship on Wednesday July 23.

If you have siblings or friends who are younger than 6th grade invite them to participate and just show up on July 21!

Quaker Haven Camp - High School July 13-18

My wonderful wife Allison and I will be counselors this year at the camp they call Senior High Camp II. It has been a while since I have been a camp counselor but I expect it to be very fun and very tiring.

If you are in High School and would like to go to camp please give me a call.

Youth Discipleship will continue even though I am at camp. PJ is more than capable.

There will be no Tuesday or Thursday activities that week.

I'm ready for some fun!
