What’s up Elevate Families!!
I am excited to be talking about Nazarene Youth Conference 2023 with all of you. This is an event that has changed so many lives and I am excited to have the opportunity to take your student to this event. Down below you will see a huge piece of information that needs to be taken care of ASAP, and that is the registration for this event.
This is for all students who will be in 8th – 12th Grade this coming Fall.
We will be talking more about this event as well as some of the fundraisers that we have planned for Elevate at the Parent Meeting on May 29th, 2022, here after the church after Sunday Service.
The official registration for Nazarene Youth Conference 2023 is now LIVE! Adult leaders and students can register using this same link, and students must have an adult or guardian register with them: https://nazareneyouthconference.churchcenter.com/registrations/events/1230376. There is NO initial deposit required to register. However, remember that the first payment deadline for both adults and teens is $500 by October 1st, 2022.
Payments CANNOT be made on the Planning Center registration link. Instead, you can make payments at https://www.cognitoforms.com/MidAtlanticDistrictChurchOfTheNazarene1/NYC2023PaymentPortal (surcharge added for credit card processing)
OR
Checks can also be made payable to “MAD NYI” and mailed to 1624 Lynch Road, Baltimore, MD 21222.
Attached you will find the recommended payment plan for NYC.
If you as a family are making any additional payments directly to the District for NYC, I would appreciate if you could please let me know that way, we can have a running total for what has been paid for each student. That will help us keep track of what payment will be coming out of the Fundraising here at the Church. It has also been suggested to mail in payments together as a local church if possible. Our goal here at LNC is to help all students who would like to go, to have the opportunity to attend this event. So, if you have any questions or concerns please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Everyone who has filled out an initial interest form in the months leading up to now, youth and adults, will also be receiving a follow-up email as promised with the same information and instructions. Also, there is additional information available on madnyi.com.

Hello Elevate Family,
MAD Teen Camp will be happening July 25th-29th at Rhodes Grove Campground. I am excited that your students can have the full teen camp experience this year! I really would like to encourage your student to go to Teen Camp. It is an excellent way for your students to deepen their relationship with God and their friends in Youth Group. Below is the link to sign up for camp. The Early Bird Rate for $275 for Students if they are signed up by May 31st, and then it will be the Regular rate is $295 from June 1st-July 5th.
I have some exciting news for all of you in the Elevate Family. Our Church is offering a $125 scholarship for all students attending Teen Camp this year. When you are registering your students for camp, you need to select pay by check to receive this scholarship. You will need to send me confirmation of registration for camp. This can be sent to me by email. After that, you will need to send in a check payable to Laurel Nazarene Church for the balance for Teen Camp.
Graduations are right around the corner, and that means that we here at Elevate want to celebrate these considerable accomplishments in the lives of your students. We are excited to see what God is doing and what He continues to do in their lives. Graduation Sunday is happening on June 12th during the Sunday Service. So if you have a student graduating high school or college this year, would you please contact me by sending me an email so I can send you the Graduation Questionnaire form.

Good evening Elevate parents! Pastor Caleb’s first Wednesday is approaching fast! There are a couple things we would like to have prepared before his arrival if you would like to help:
• We will need help cleaning the Russell House on Saturday, April 23rd from 9:00am – noon in preparation for Pastor Caleb’s arrival. He will be staying in the Russell House until the Light’s move out of the parsonage and into their new home.
• We will also be collecting cards, gifts, and gift cards for Pastor Caleb. Keep in mind that he is allergic to chocolate. There will be a basket in the foyer to collect these items. The gift basket will be presented to him on his first Sunday at LNC, May 1.
Hi Elevate parents, on April 6 we will be putting together crisis care kits at Elevate. Below is the list of items needed for each kit. Your students can bring the supplies this Wednesday and next Wednesday for the kits.
Thank you!
Good News Parents of ELEVATE teens!!!
We have a prospective new youth pastor that Pastor Garry has interviewed. We would like to do an informal “meet and greet” with parents and teens on Friday March 4th at 7:00p.m. in the ELEVATE room at church. This would be a time for you to meet and ask questions and get to know the candidate. The adult leaders have already met the candidate and we are excited to introduce him to our awesome teen’s parents. This is not like the hiring of a lead pastor, there will not be an all church vote. However, Pastor Garry would like your input and the candidate will also be interviewed by the church board. If you have any questions or concerns don’t hesitate to reach out to Pastor Garry or one of the ELEVATE adult sponsors. We look forward to seeing you Friday the 4th at 7:00!
Thanks for all you do to support our ELEVATE teens!
Wayne, Kathy, & Sarah
