Holiday's are here

Next Thursday is Thanksgiving.

Everyone has lots of plans to spend time with loved ones and eat lots of good food.

Because of this, Jr. High and High School are not meeting next week.

Jr. High will meet again on November 30th.

High School will meet again on December 1st.

The November 19th Jr High LOST MYSTERY ALL-NIGHTER

We are having an all nighter, folks. 

 (drop off)

NOVEMBER 19TH

Friday Night (LATE!)

10 pm

   

 (pick up)

NOVEMBER 20TH

Saturday Morning (EARLY!)

7 am 

Cost is only $16 bucks (pay here)

(print here)

Attention parents:

1. Please drop students off by 10 pm, NO LATER. The bus will leave the parking lot at 10:15 pm SHARP! Pick up your student in the morning at 7 am.
2. We will have separate rooms for sleeping: one for the boys and one for the girls. Each room will have a chaperone. 
3. This event is open to any and all Jr. Highers, so have your kids invite along their friends!
4. Part of the fun of our event is having the students be surprised and not know where they are going, hence the “MYSTERY”. If you wish to know where we’ll be throughout the evening, that is perfectly fine and dandy...but shhhh, it’ll be our little “mystery”. (contact info below)
5. For our Mystery event it would be great if you could let us know by Wednesday, the 17th, if your student is planning on attending. Get those permission slips in as soon as you can, or at least call and get your students name on the list so we can plan accordingly. You can let us know via phone or email if that is easiest. You can also sign up online HERE.
6. Contact Tabitha Jones at Good Shepherd Community Church by phone at 503.663.505 (x.246) or email at tabitha.jones@goodshepherdcc.org

LOST RETREAT - no longer...

Yep, that's right. If you signed up for the LOST retreat that was happening this coming weekend then you've probably already heard the sad news...it's been canceled.

Unfortunately, we did not meet the camps minimum number of students. In order to be good stewards of our budget we could not cover the remaining balance for students that had not signed up. We are so very sorry that it had to come to this and at this late hour. We tried to give it as much time as possible and let those last minute sign-ups come in that usually do...but they didn't...so we were forced to make this tough decision (that was no fun, I might add).

For those who did sign up and pay already, don't worry, we will be issuing everyone refund checks as soon as possible (aka. next week).

Also, in lieu of this retreat, we will be having an all night event at Good Shepherd Community Church Friday, November 19th. More information on that to come ASAP!!! AND it will be quite a bit cheaper. :)

Please, feel free to call us or email us any time with questions.

LOST Retreat LAST CALL!!!

Alright folks, we are getting down to the wire. If you haven't yet signed up for the retreat that is coming up this weekend please (PLEASE) let us know by emailing us, calling us (503.663.505), writing a note in the sky...whatever you gotta do to inform us that you are so excited to go with us on this awesome retreat! The sooner the better. We need to know how many people are going so we can let the camp know, and the sooner the better. So please help us out and give us the heads up on your retreat status. And if you could let us know by Wednesday morning that would be even more awesome! Thanks a ton everyone!
