Summer Cookout

June 1, 2009 in Fundraisers, Missions by lindseyethatsme | No comments

Thanks to everyone who helped out with the Summer Cookout yesterday afternoon!

Not only did we raise a pretty good amount of money, we had some seriously fun times; from overrated picnic table cloths that Matthew unfortunately picked out (haha Alex and Jessica), to Kyle wearing ketchup and tomatoes all over his clothing…thanks to Gabriel.

It was face melting hot outside and we could’ve all baked cookies on our thighs, but none the less, you guys were super amazing, kept smiles on your faces, and we all BROUGHT IT at our final fundraiser!

Seriously, there’s no teens as great as Flipside’s.
And that’s the real deal.

See you Wednesday,
Linds.

Baton Rouge 2009

February 25, 2009 in Missions by Matthew | 2 comments

Why Baton Rouge?

The Baton Rouge Dream Center is an outreach of Healing Place Church. They are Located in one of the most crime ridden and poor areas of town. Through Church services, After school programs, Life skills and discipleship classes, street outreach, Grocery give-aways, free clothing boutique, etc, they hope to be a light in the darkness and reach the ones forgotten and abandoned by society for Jesus Christ.

Why FlipSide?

FlipSide had an incredible opportunity to work alongside those serving faithfully at The Baton Rouge Dreamcenter last Summer. Those who attended last year haven’t stopped asking to go back. I believe we have much to learn about true service and selflessness and the biblical mandate to consider others better than ourselves. Last year we saw a humbling display of volunteerism and learned the power of putting the needs of others above our own. We look forward to going back this year, getting our hands dirty, and continuing to build a relationship by serving with this amazing ministry of Healing Place Church.

When is it?

June 15-25

5am - Leave Rock Church

10pm - Arrive Baton Rouge

7am - Leave Baton Rouge

12am - Arrive Rock Church

What’s the damage?

$400 - All Inclusive (Food, Lodging, Transportation, Serving Cost). A $50 non-refundable deposit is required no later than March 15, other nonrefundable payments are as follows:

1^st Payment $90 Due March 29

2^nd Payment $90 Due April 19

3^rd Payment $90 Due May 10

4^th Payment $80 Due May 31

How will I raise that?!

Even though $400 is an amazing price for a 10-day trip, we understand that it’s still $400. We’re planning four significant fundraisers over the next three months that will greatly reduce the cost of this trip if your teen is diligent to participate. We understand the current state of our economy makes this decision even more difficult, however we also understand that the greatest sacrifices produce the greatest rewards. We encourage you to ask God if this opportunity is for your teen and if so we want to partner with you to make it happen.
