30 Hour Famine Prologue

May 15, 2009

We are all a-flutter in preparation for the 30 Hour Famine this weekend. 

First, a word about our outside plans:
It looks like it is going to be perfect weather for tomorrow night's Lock-Out.  It is supposed to be warm and a little humid with a very low chance of rain.  If this hold, we will continue our plans outside.  If there are any changes closer to Famine time, we will revise that as needed.

Here are important details as you are preparing to show up.  Please read them all, and prepare accordingly:

-Remember to bring a signed and filled out Medical Release Form. We legally have to have this in order for you to attend.

-Plan on arriving between 7:00 PM and 7:30 PM on Friday (tomorrow) night.  Please do not come before that time without verbal permission from the Youth Team.

-It is very important that all students enter through the main sanctuary doors, which are the doors immediately adjacent to the front parking lot.  No students will be allowed in through any other doors at that time. 

-You must bring a sleeping bag (or other bedding) and a pillow.  If you do not have these, you will need to go back home and get them. 

-Please do not bring anything illegal, or dangerous.  If you do, you will be sent home.

-Please do not bring any electronic devices other than your cell phone and/or an ipod.  This is a saftey and a theft issue more than anything.  If you do bring a cell phone or ipod, you must keep it with you at all times.

-If you have a water bottle or a Nalgene-type bottle, it would be a great idea to bring it. 

-Bring a change of clothes and toiletries.  Ask your parents what "toiletries" are if you don't know.

-Remember to bring anything you need to decorate your structures with.  Extra cardboard is a great idea too.  We have a lot, but we can't make any guarantees.

-Your parents will need to pick you up at 7:30 on Saturday.
