Directions:

_____________

Please fill out this questionnaire with your students to give us the information needed to make your students’ trading cards. This card will be sent with your student’s sponsor letter from the church for fundraising for Nazarene Youth Conference 2026. 

Once your student has completed this information, the training card will be made, and you will receive the letters, envelopes, and the trading cards to be sent out. Each student will receive 25 letters, 25 cards, and 25 of two separate envelope sizes needed for this fundraiser.

P. Caleb will take the picture for your student’s card.   

The only thing that you and your student will need to do is provide postage and address the letters, and maybe include a handwritten note to the recipient. All the money that is received through this fundraiser will go directly into your students’ teen account for NYC 26. 

One important thing that needs to be noted is that these letters are to go to individuals outside of the Laurel Nazarene Church, please. 

Please contact pastor Caleb once you have finished this questionnaire.

Think about yourself for a moment, think about your faith, think about where you stand with God? Are you seeking? Are you hurting? Are you angry? Are you doubting? Are there questions you have? Do you have a firm foundation, and wondering what is next in your faith? No matter where you stand with God or where your faith is, seeds are being planted. And you are a seed planter too! 

Fall Retreat season is here, and so we are packing up and heading to Camp Hebron for a weekend to get away, rest, and learn about PLANTING, putting God at the center, and always.  There will be great music led by the Stars Burn Down band! Preaching from Pastor Jake (Immanuel) and throughout the weekend, there will be time for small groups, conversations, and living life in community.  

Students and parents, the Fall Schedule is here for Remix, and we have several new things that are happening this Fall!!

First, youth ministry will be moving to Thursday, starting September 4^th. The time will remain the same.  The doors will open at 6:30, and Remix will be from 7:00- 8:30 PM. 

Remember that the 4^th is our Back to School Bash, check out that announcement that was posted.

Good afternoon LNC Youth Families, Just a quick reminder about tomorrow’s parent meeting. The meeting will take place immediately after church, in the youth room. Please make time for you and your students to attend this meeting, as we will be reviewing our plan for youth ministry for the fall and providing any other updates, including fundraising opportunities that your students may be interested in participating in. Please try your best to be there.

If you have any questions or can not make it to the meeting, please contact me. Thank you,

Hello Remix Families and students,

I wanted to give you all an update.

First, the fundraiser is still happening tomorrow evening from 6:00 – 9:00 PM! However, the number of children who have signed up for childcare tomorrow night is low, unfortunately.  With that being said, we will only need a few students to help due to the low numbers. P. Caleb will be in touch if your student is needed tomorrow night. 

There will be more opportunities to raise money for NYC26! 

On Monday, August 4th, we will be leaving LNC at 8:00 AM to head to Teen Camp. This means pulling out of the church at 8 AM. Please arrive no later than 7:45 AM to pack the trailer and figure out seating arrangements.

1. IMPORTANT: Your students will need lunch money for the trip to Camp on the 4th.
2. We will be returning to LNC on August 8th- Be on the lookout for a return time once we depart the campground on the 8th.

We are looking forward to an awesome week at Teen Camp!
