Our next five15 meeting is this Saturday, April 14. Here is what you can expect...
Missions Trips Recaps
We'll be hearing about the three recent missions trips (Habitat for Humanity, Dominican Republic, and Rancho 3M) five15ers participated in. We'll hear reports and testimonies from the trips, see pictures, and hear what God has done.
Prayer
We will spend time praying for the people and areas that were the focus of these trips. Even if you didn't participate in any of the trips, you can still serve these people hundreds or thousands of miles away by praying.
Chili Cook-off
Competition is open to teens and parents. Please drop off your chili by 5:00 pm - preferably in a crock pot. Chili will be judged from 5:00 - 5:30 pm and then it will be open season for everyone to enjoy said chili (toppings will be provided)! The chili will be offered in place of the normal pizza, etc. Categories for prizes for the chili cook-off are as follows: flavorful, meaty, non-meaty, spicy, non-spicy, and overall.
