There is a place for everyone! And it's at FEVER PITCH!!

Who:  Hosted by LINC, Young Adults of Joy...We range from right out of college to middle of career, from singles to married, from expecting to toddlers.  No matter where you are in your life experiences, this is a place where you can relate with people going through similar things.  Joy has something very special. And what an exciting thing for us to share! 

What:  Fever Pitch...Fever Pitch is an opportunity for us to reach out to young adults in the community and invite them to see what we are all about.  This will be a relaxed, fun environment for them to get connected. We can share our stories about what Joy means to us, talk about what our fellowship group has done together, and kickoff all the programs for the fall.  We hope this will be the missing LINC that helps people make these important connections.

When:  Saturday, August 27, 2011, 6:00-10:00pm

Where:  Twin Lakes Clubhouse

Why:  Many people are looking for communities of faith to be involved in, to have support from, and as a place for their families to grow.  There are many young adults in our community who have not been able to get connected to a church family.  For a variety of reasons, they just haven’t found the place that fits for them.  We’ve heard from many of you how important young adult ministries are within a community of faith. Our group is excited and active, with lots of program opportunities for young adults. 

How:  So – what’s next?  And what can you do?  Joy LINC will be the hosts for this event.  We would like for the members of this group to participate in the planning, get the word out, and share your own stories about getting connected. Mallory Long (malloranche@gmail.com), Carrie Potter (carriebpotter@gmail.com), and Ashley Twitchell (vicarashley@gmail.com) are the team leaders.  If you are able to help with planning over the summer weeks, consider which team you’d like to be a part of.  Or if being hands on that weekend is more your thing, sign-up for those teams.  Everyone will be involved with inviting folks and getting the word out.  Here are some of the plans for you to get on your calendar. You can ask any of the team leaders for more information.
