Thrive on Nov. 18

Southwestern Conference Youth Ministries presents THRIVE on Sunday, November 18 from 1 pm - 4 pm at the Gateway Center (31 Water St., Jamestown). The event is for youth in grades 5 - 12.

An exciting afternoon of recreation is planned with laser tag, bmx/skateboarding, human foosball, game room, and video games... Then Captive Free East Lakes, a relational music ministry team sponsored by Youth Encounter, will lead worship. It will be an inspiring time of Christian music, games, skits and personal sharing.

The cost of the event is $5 plus a donation of an item from the Captive Free needs list (at bottom of email). A signed parent waiver is required for youth wanting to use the bmx/skate park (which can be found at this link).

Open publication - Free publishing - More captive free

We know that some churches on the fringes of the conference have a bit of travel between worship and the event. We have arranged with the Gateway Center to have their snack bar open during the event so you can get lunch there and save time. They have burgers, pizza, fries, etc. available for a reasonable cost.

Please help the Conference Youth Ministries Team reach youth with this positive event:

• Forward this email to youth and their parents.
• Print out the attached flyer and hand them out in Sunday School & Worship.
• Do an announcement about the event in church.
• Organize a group to commute to the event together.
• Get posters up around the church
• Make some personal invites
