Fall Retreat Friday Updates

Today is the day!!  Here are some last-minute reminders/changes for this evening.  

1.  Be there at 3:30 today (or as close as possible) and we will plan on leaving at 4:00

2.  Bring money for 3 meals.  For Saturday dinner, we are eating at a restaurant that will cost $11 (bring exact change if possible).  This restaurant also has some arcade type games available, so if your student would like to enjoy that, bring some extra money.  The other 2 meals will be fast-food on the trip to and from Myrtle Beach.

3.  Bring a completed medical release form today when you drop off your student today (if you haven't already).  This is required for us to stay at Myrtle Beach Christian Retreat Center.  If you still haven't filled it out, I've attached it here for you.  

4.  We aim to return to Fairview at 4pm on Sunday, but we will post updates on the Fairview Student Ministry page on Facebook.  We are chartering a bus, so there's a chance that we will make better time than expected.  

Last thing - please pray for a great weekend for the whole team.  Our goal is that it's a lot of fun, great memories are created, and we enjoy being together.  But, more than anything, our prayer is for the salvation of our students who are not yet believers, and for all of us to be challenged to Love God, Love Others, and Make Disciples.  

Two other updates I wanted to share with you as I've gotten a few questions this morning.  

1. Payment - If you haven't paid yet, please bring your payment today when you drop off your child.  Please know that we've already paid Myrtle Beach Christian Retreat Center, so even if someone backs out of the trip, we are still obligated to pay for that spot.  

2.  Fishing - If you are interested in fishing, you are welcome to bring a fishing pole and tackle box.  There will be plenty of storage on the bus for these items.  But, it is important that your student keep track of their pole and tackle box while on the retreat.

Thanks!  Looking forward to a great weekend!
