Drive-In Movie

Movie: TBD (We are planning on seeing the Grinch)

Cost: $10 (you can bring money for snacks or bring food with you)

What to bring: Lawn Chair, blanket, food, or money for snacks

What to expect:

The atmosphere at West Wind is best described as relaxed family fun with a mix of old-school drive-in vibe combined with the latest technology. Toss a Frisbee or football around before you settle back for a one of a kind movie presentation. West Wind Drive-Ins project a crystal-clear digital image on screens so big they dwarf the ones you’ll find in a typical walk-in theatre while they beam audio straight to your car stereo or radio.

RSVP to Frank by text or email.

Each year we divide into teams with a list in hand and do our best to fulfill the Christmas wishes of sponsored families. Last year we helped provide Christmas for 8 families. This is a great afternoon of fun and fellowship as we serve God’s kingdom. If you would like to join us please R.S.V.P. by Wednesday, December 5^th so we can line up drivers. This is a great opportunity to invite your friends for some fun and fellowship. We use the proceeds of Parent's Day Out to help buy gifts for this great cause.

Save the date. More info to come.
Support the Youth With Food

Sunday nights are back in full swing, with more students and more fun... and Parents, we need your help to continue to make Sundays a success.

A big part of our Sunday night is a shared meal. It is a time where students come together and fellowship while eating dinner together. Each year we ask parents to support the ministry by providing a meal (or two) on a Sunday night for the entire group. We ask that every family take a turn, so each family only has to provide dinner once all year. Last year, we had parents plan for meals for around 20, this year we need meals for 30. So if two families want to go in together on a night, that is fine too.

As we continue to grow in numbers, we will keep you informed as to how much food to make.

To coordinate the meals we have set up a Sign-up Genius with the dates for this Fall/Winter. There are also a few ideas provided as to what can be made. We ask that when you sign up, you add what you will be bringing so we don't double up from week to week.

Thank you for your support and for allowing us to minister to your students.
