Lock-In Locale

Some have expressed interest in knowing exactly where we are meeting for tomorrow night's lock-in. So...here:is the address and phone:

Evangelical Covenant Church of Elgin

1565 Larkin Avenue

Elgin, IL 60123

phone 847.888.2302

CHIC It Out:

Alrighty. The hours are winding down; it is coming soon. You're not packed, but you thought about it, and that's an important step. Well, here's another important step you can plan on: a lock-in.

That's right! For less than the price of a cup of coffee, you and your friends can be herded into a Church and forced to eat pizza till your gut swells and then be subjected to movies and games until you're ragged from exhaustion and you're actually hungry for pizza again. And when the time finally comes, you'll be set free from the confines of said ecclesiastical structure...and herded onto a bus for ten hours.

Doors close for the Lock-In at 9p.m. sharp! If you want a spot on the bus, you need to be there! Exclamation point!

Also, CHIC-ites will be responsible for three (3) meals not provided for them by the conference, so bring a little dough, or cheddar, or bling or whatever you kids call money ($) to feed the belly. (In Parenthesis.) You may want more for buying t-shirts or CDs. $20 gets you a nice Appalachian shanty.

Hasta la vista para hoy, mi amigos. Via con nachos.

VBS Worknight

MESSAGE FROM JEAN ALMQUIST

Hi,

I am planning a VBS Worknight on Tuesday, July 7th at 7pm.

Here's what will be happening:
We need to finish painting the family signs;
We need to pre-glue part of the abacus craft;
We need to stuff bags with newspaper (if you have newspaper, please bring it-we need to fill about 25 grocery bags).

I would also like the drama team to start going over their scripts together! Dennis, Paul, Curt, Julie...also if you are available Scott, Andrew Zach Shirley (yes, Shirley) Dave, Carolyn. This will be just running through the scripts to find out what questitons you have and how we will be putting this on.

Thanks to everyone for being so willing to help out-it is wonderful to see how the Spirit is actively working to bring this year's VBS to an exciting and fun time for all of us to teach and learn.
