OK, So God is GOOD...He's always good, but He just came through BIG TIME for this weekend!
We will be staying the night @ Dublin Baptist Church just outside of Columbus. We're saving about $700 and will have a much more team feel for the weekend! Praise God!
Here's what you need to know as far as planning...
We're sleeping on the floor. Guys and Girls will be separated and in different rooms. But you'll be on the floor. So bring your fluffiest sleeping bag or an air mattress if you've got one. Ill try to bring some extras.
There is one guys shower and one girls shower. So don't plan on taking one unless you HAVE to. We're only there for a little more than 24 hours, you should be able to survive that long without a shower. If you MUST shower, bring your own towel, shampoo etc...
We will be eating 2 dinners, 1 breakfast and 1 lunch. So bring enough money for those meals. If you eat a lot, bring more $$.
Remember:
Be at church as close to 4pm as possible.
Be ready and open to God working in your heart!
Bring sleeping gear - sleeping bag, pillow etc
Bring your Bible, a notepad and writing utensil
We'll be back to church Saturday night around 11ish.
If you have Questions CALL or TEXT or Facebook Message me!!!
THIS WEEKEND IS GOING TO BE AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm praying that HE changes us!

Dare2Share Conference info
Hello Everyone,
In a week and a half we will be heading to the Reverse Tour Conference in Columbus. This weekend will stretch and challenge us all...But hey, if we aren't being challenged then life gets boring right?!
I need to know for sure who's going. In order to reserve our hotel rooms I need an accurate head count.
We will leave Next Friday (Jan 31st) as close to 4pm as possible. We will register when we get to the Columbus Convention Center and find seats. That evening we will leave around 10pm and head to our hotel (when we have our final head count I will be able to let everyone know which hotel and that jazz). Saturday morning we will but up early and arrive at the Convention Center around 7:30am. We will spend the day learning, growing and building relationships. The conference ends at 9pm and we will make our way back to the church at that point. Parents should plan on picking up students around 11- 11:30pm.
You should bring...
Call or text or message me with questions and to confirm you are going!
Thanks!
Justin

All-Nighter Help Needed!
I need help!
Here are the shifts I’m looking for:
Friday 6pm-12am – 4-6 adults
Friday 11pm- Saturday 6am – 2-4 adults
Saturday 5am-11am – 3-5 adults
Schedule and Duties:
Friday night we will be heading to Poelking lanes for 2
hours. I need 3 or 4 at the bowling alley. I will also need 2 or so adults to
stay at church and set up some food areas with pop and snacks. If these adults
can provide some homemade snacks or donate some that would also be nice.
Overnight we will be playing various high-energy games. Some
will need direct leadership from an adult, some will just need supervision.
Teens will have low-key hang out and movie time between 2am and 5ish. Supervision
during this time will be safety and containment, so we don’t have anyone
sneaking off to be alone.
In the morning I need a crew who would be willing to “cook”
breakfast. “Cook” is in quotes because breakfast will be frozen waffles and
pre-cooked sausage or bacon. I will also need a few bright and cheerful adults
to keep the kids engaged in the mornings fun and games.
Recap:
I need you!
Roles:
Leaders – engaged and directive in varying activities
Kitchen – set up food tables, provide snacks
Security – help maintain boundaries
This has been advertised as an opportunity to bring
friends…Hopefully this will be an event where kids can interact with each other
in a safe, constructive environment and to encounter godly adults who are
willing to share their time.
Please contact Justin to sign up to help!

December Happenings
Hey Everybody!!!
So it's almost Thanksgiving and that means its time for an update on the events that will be happening over the next month or so! Here Goes!
Parents Meeting
Sunday December 8th @ 6pm in the youth room.
This meeting is a time to connect with me (Pastor Justin) and hear what's happening with the Teens. Parents, please understand that I want you to be here for the meeting. Your students also want you there, because they have a chance to win something if you go. : )
Salvation Army Service Day
Saturday December 14th @ 11am-8pm
What if 4,000 people showed up at your house on Thanksgiving needing to be fed?
The Salvation Army in Dayton feeds this many and more every Christmas. One of the ways they do this is by raising money through the Red Kettle Bell Ringers. Cheerful, friendly volunteers go a long way to raising the money needed to provide meals.
We will spend 4.5 hours ringing bells and spreading Christmas Cheer and then head to The Salvation Army Kroc Center for a movie, games and pizza. Any student 16 or older can stand at a kettle in groups of 1-3. Students 15 and under must be accompanied by an adult (parent or youth leader). You can either meet at the church at 10:30 or head to a location near your home and meet us at the Kroc center later. Bring $5 to cover pizza...or you could drop $10, $20 or $1,000 in a kettle and we'll call it even. :-)
Contact Justin for more details or to sign up.
OH BTW any student who serves at this event will receive a voucher for $50 off the Nicaragua Mission Trip.
Summit South
December 15th @ 5pm-8pm
We have been invited to an area Youth Summit called...Summit South! Once per quarter over 300 students gather at an area church for High Energy Worship, Music, Videos, Stage Games and more. We will leave the church a little after 5pm and return around 8pm. This is a great opportunity to hang out with other believers and see what God is doing in the Dayton area.
Awaited: A Christmas Story
TBA @ TBA-TBA :)
This Christmas Musical is off the charts good! Each year Crossroads puts on this production of the Christmas story. Crossroads volunteers do this 18 times between December 15th and the 24th. Before you think this is just another Christmas Cantata, you need to understand that this is Broadway Style...Check out the available media at the site below.
http://www.crossroads.net/my/media/search.php
Tickets are available November 30th and I will get 40 tickets. I will post which date we will attend as soon as I know. Last year we had 35 students and adults go to this one of a kind event. All Students are welcome!
MVWC workday
Saturday December 21st 9:45am-12:15pm
Our monthly service project.
Info Meeting for Nicaragua 2014 GO Trip
Friday December 20th @ 6pm-7:30pm
This informational meeting will cover all aspects of the Trip and will include a traditional Nicaraguan Meal...Monkeys marinated in Snake sauce served over rice and maggots....ok just kidding. But we will eat and its not anything too scary. : )
Attendance at this meeting is required for those who want to go on the trip. But attending the meeting does not commit you to going. Parents should attend WITH their student.
Revolution All Nighter
Thursday and Friday January 2nd and 3rd
Open to all High School Students, this event will be a blast! We will gather at 6pm for registration and food and then we won't stop until we drop!
Games, food, competitions, prizes, music, games, video games, no sleep, games, food, prizes, and games and a field trip.
Cost is $30 per person...unless you bring a friend, in which case you and your friend will only pay $20. If you bring 5 friends each of your friends pays $20 and you go for free.
The definition of a friend in this case is a high school student who has not regularly attended whbc in the last 6 months.
The end time is still being confirmed. It depends on a few of the activities being planned.
Parents...I need some help with running this event. If you are available to chase students (overnight) or hang out with us, please contact Justin. We also need some snacks and breakfasty food (donations keep the cost lower). Contact Justin @ jhoppe@whbc.org
...................................................................................................................................................................
That concludes the events and activities planned for the next few weeks, unless of course I've forgotten something, in which case show up for that event too...
If you're still reading this you deserve a GOLD STAR.
* There you go. That's the best I can do for now. : )
