WAHO TOMORROW (Wednesday Afternoon Hang Out)

Tomorrow for our monthly service project we'll be helping the Dalporto family move out of their apartment. We'll mainly be cleaning, so parents please come and help if you can. Also, any cleaning supplies you can bring would be great...brooms, latex gloves, trash bags, cleaning spray, paper towels, mops, etc... We'll be there 4:30-6 at 3223 B Regents Park Lane Greensboro North Carolina 27455.  I'll do the normal pickup schedule

180

We have 180 this Sunday and it's also the 1st Sunday of the month, the day we ask kids to bring an offering for Dan & Ruth, our Compassion kids. Please encourage your kids to do extra chores this week to earn money for D&R. We need to collect at least $72 this Sunday. 

Summer Camp

We are 75 days from camp! The total cost for camp is $289. Most of you have already paid the $89 deposit.  Here are the remaining payment due dates: May 17- $100, June 21- $100.

Feel free to go ahead and pay the remaining balance of $200 if you're able. 

Checks written to: Church of the Redeemer and mailed to COTR at PO Box 4764. Include your camper's name and 'summer camp' in the memo. You can also place checks in the offering baskets on Sundays, just make sure they are marked in the memo.

Camp Scholarships Needed
If you're able to pay more in order to help kids go who are in need of scholarships, please consider making a tax-deductible donation by writing a check with 'summer camp scholarship' in the memo.  We have 10+ youth who are in need of scholarships/fundraising.

Pressure Washing

If you have any need for pressure-washing done at your home, Graham Monroe will be pressure washing with our youth to raise money. Schedule it with Graham at GramCracker75@gmail.com.

Sex & Smart Phones

A few of you have recently asked me about talking to your kids about sex. Hopefully this short post I wrote will be helpful. 

Another post, related to sex, to consider when thinking about your teenagers and their phones: A Fan Of The Dumb Phone.
