Dear Family,
In just two weeks, some of my closest friends will be traveling to Spring Meadows for the REVIVAL Youth Minister's Retreat. In my opinion, these are some of the most talented, most humble, most fun, and most passionate people you could ever meet. They are men and women who work with youth ministries in churches across the brotherhood.
They have come together every March for the last 9 years. And this year they're coming to our place.
Can you help us do something? We want to be the best host these people have ever seen. Can you "WOW" them with the Spring Meadows spirit? These are about 60-70 of the most special people on the face of the earth, and we want them to feel like it.
Here's how you can help:
[ ] Greet at the registration table (Welcome youth ministers and their wives, handle nametags, and offer refreshments - Thursday afternoon)
[ ] Volunteer to run audio/video for Thursday afternoon, Friday or Saturday morning
[ ] Bring packs of coke and water. (Specifically 12 packs of Coke, Dr. Pepper, Diet Dr. Pepper, Coke Zero, Sprite, Sun Drop & Bottled Water)
[ ] Purchase a fruit-and-veggie tray (need 3 or 4 party-sized trays)
[ ] Join the set-up crew to prepare building the Wednesday night before)
[ ] Stock snack tables and coffee stations (throughout)
[ ] Cook breakfast Friday or Saturday morning (need 3-4 cooks each morning to put together a pancake, egg, sausage/bacon breakfast)
If you see an area you'd like to volunteer, please put your name down by emailing Scott (scott@smcoc.net) or Dale (dale@smcoc.net). We thank you in advance for your friendliness and warm reception. You're a HUGE part of making this an incredible, unforgettable, reviving event for youth ministers everywhere. Let's wrap them in the warmth and kindness of Christ.
Scott Bond and Dale Jenkins
