SSM Weekly Update - December 13th

Angel Tree Delivery
  Students will have an opportunity this Saturday to deliver Angel Tree gifts to children around our community.  There is no way to completely explain the impact that being a part of this project will have on our students.  If your student is in a RAD group, then he or she will join with their group and make two or three deliveries.  Students will meet at the Lighthouse by 10:00am on Saturday and be finished by noon.

SSM Christmas Bash
  As was mentioned last week, the SSM Christmas Bash goes down in the Core this Sunday from 5-9pm.  Students will need to bring a white elephant gift ($5 max) for either gender.  Also, girls need to bring a favorite snack/dessert to share while the guys bring thier favorite two-liter drink.  The SSM will provide pizza for dinner.

SSM Missions Christmas Wrapping Fundraiser
  A team of students will be wrapping gifts as a fundraiser for the mission trip to Belize in July.  Spread the word to family and friends who may need last-minute help wrapping presents before Christmas Day.  The fundraiser will take place on Saturday, December 22nd from 8:30-1:30 in the Children's Building. 

Mission Belize Update
  If you or your student are part of the Mission Belize team, then mark your calendars on Sunday, January 6th for a meeting in the Core at 6:15pm.  We will update the team on details for the trip and begin preparation for the week of ministry.  Also, the second payment of $180 is due Sunday, December 23rd.  Payments can be turned into the SSM Office during the week, dropped in the offering plate on Sundays, or placed in the SSM Dropbox located in the Connection. 

Winter Camp
  Registration is underway and time is flying as the greatest weekend of the year quickly approaches.  Take advantage of the $10 discount by registering for camp by December 30th.  Camp registration is complete once the SSM office receives the student's medical release form and payment.  Remember, space is limited this year so stop by the Fighter table located in the Connection for everything you need to know about Winter Camp.

No COLLIDE until January 6th
  The COLLIDE Ministry will begin preparation for the spring show begining Sunday, January 6th.  Students who may have missed out on COLLIDE this semester will have an opportunity to jump on board as the group focuses on this year's theme, HERO.
