Hey ATF!
This Sunday at youth group we are doing something unique and fun and figuring out your spiritual gifts as a continuation from Robin's message last week. When we become followers of Jesus, we receive spiritual gifts. But it can be intimidating and risky to develop those gifts. I’m hoping both discovering and learning to develop your spiritual gifts will lead to an amazing adventure with God!  We are also rocking CAPTURE THE FLAG WITH Scooters!

Silent Auction: We are getting closer!!! The Silent Auction is less than 10 days away! We already have 22 amazing baskets wrapped and ready to rock! I know we have a bunch of you who need to still bring in your baskets. Bring them THIS Sunday to ATF and we will help you wrap them up! We are also in need of raffle prizes so if you have an item that doesn’t work in your basket, please consider bringing it to us to use as a raffle item!

Gentle reminder:  If you do not do the basics of the fundraiser, you are not eligible for the funding that comes from it.  I completely understand that people live busy lives, however, it is not fair for a few students and adults to carry the load for everyone so we have to limit it to the people who are serving!  Here are the basics: 
  1. Sell a minimum of 6 tickets, but each student should have 10 in their possession! If you don't Have a ticket bundle grab one from me on Sunday! (So, say you sell seven tickets! You will hand those tickets to the person buying them, then will ****reply to this email by Tuesday, March 12***** and tell me--Colin!  I sold 7 tickets!  Then I can have those seven meals counted on our "how many meals to plan for list.".) Invite Grandma, Uncle Larry, your teachers, coaches, and friends.  It's a super fun silly night! ALSO RETURN THE TICKETS YOU HAVEN'T SOLD:-) We can use them at the door!
Make an auction basket - Each person needs to make an auction basket. This is where you get donations to make a fun basket from family and friends. For example, if a family member works at a bakery, put together a bakery basket. If your uncle works at Snap-on tools see if his company would donate a drill. You catch the idea! We had an amazing variety of baskets last year. We had a custom cake basket, personal training, flowers, a wine basket and more. Click the google-doc link to sign up for one we have listed or makeup one based on a specific basket donation https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1NzLbo6mkqXrrVB5k3QKgEQu93ljSme_zo9_LrP4McqM/edit?usp=sharing The idea is to get donations and not spend your own cash! Explain what you are doing and why on a mission trip. That you are helping folks in need with a part of your summer vacation, which is amazing! You are giving people a chance to support what you are doing with God this summer! Attached to this e-mail is a donation letter from our church!

Make sure you are there March 17th for the silent auction. Set up starts at 4pm. The event is from 5pm to 7:30, we will stay till 8pm cleaning up and then we are done!  Everyone will have a job to do. Sign up here to get a job. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1AmAObqcNx4NMXf-IDWc-DiY_uc1v5LR9zeK1nG8L8Pk/edit?usp=sharing

We are super blessed by the generosity of our church family and friends that make it so we only do two fundraisers a year...the last church I worked in eons ago held, I kid you not, EIGHT. PER YEAR! So let's have a blast together and thank our awesome church by throwing them an awesome party!

See you on Sunday!!!
