Please join us for our next fundraiser for Nazarene Youth Conference 2023. A youth conference that has helped students develop and strengthen their spiritual walk with Christ.
This fundraiser will be happening on July 19th from 3 PM -10 PM at Texas Roadhouse at the Seaford, DE Location.
All you need to do when you dine in or take out is to display this flyer, either a paper version or digital version, when you check out, and 10% of your total bill will be donated to Laurel Nazarene Church for our students going to NYC 2023.
So please share this flyer on social media with anyone you may know who would like to support our students while also getting some good food on July 19th, from 3 PM – 10 PM at Texas Roadhouse at the Seaford, DE Location.
I have a few updates for all of you as parents for this event. Also, please take a look at the schedule for this event. We have a few updates on Thursday to be noted.
Serve the Shore is almost here. We will serve in our community this upcoming Thursday and Friday. As a reminder, we will be building a wheelchair ramp for a World War 2 veteran the day before his 99th birthday.
As a reminder, if your student plans to attend, I need your student to be registered on the Google Form that is attached at the bottom of this post. In addition to that Google Form, there will be a release form for your student to be recorded while working on the job site. That form should come up right after you fill out the Google Form, or you will receive an e-mail with an additional document from the organization. That last form needs to be turned in to me this Wednesday at Elevate, or it needs to be brought with you on the day of the event on the 14th. This last form is due to the local TV station and the nonprofit wanting to use footage from our project on July 14th.
The cut-off date to register for this event is tomorrow, July 12th.
Your student must attend the service project on July 14th to go with us to the beach on July 15th.
Just as a reminder
There is no cost for this event other than the money they would want to bring for any additional snacks at Wawa on July 14th and lunch on July 15th when we are at OC for our Beach Day. Your students are responsible for their own spending money for these days.

I have an exciting update for all of you about Serve the Shoreon July 14th and 15th.

I hope that you all are doing well and you are having a great start to your summer. I have a special announcement for all of the Graduating Seniors. This next Sunday, June 12th, is Graduation Sunday, and we here at Elevate want to celebrate this monumental accomplishment. We will recognizing our seniors at the beginning of the service. I want to invite all of our Elevate seniors and their parents to attend this Sunday’s service.
At the service’s beginning, I will call our seniors up front with their parents to stand beside them, in alphabetical order according to their last name. Once everyone is upfront, I will hand a microphone to one of the parents standing with the student to read their blessing verse over their student. Please try to keep it to just the verse of blessing because we have several students to recognize for this accomplishment. We will keep moving right down the line until everyone has had a verse of blessing read over them by their parent. After that, I will pray over all our Graduates and their parents, and then everyone will return to their seats.
Every High School graduate will be receiving an Elevate journal and an Elevate alumni pin. Students do not need to be wearing their cap and gown for this. Parents, please have the verse you selected ready to be read. I will have paper copies on hand if needed.
I am looking forward to celebrating your student’s accomplishments this next Sunday!!
