We have a TON of events coming up in the next little bit!! 

1: September 26th- See You at the Pole. Come out to the flag pole on your way into school to pray. Local youth pastors will be on hand to support the Galax High School FCA. Come out and pray and get some free breakfast! :)

2: October 7th- The YOUTH GROUP (aka YOU) will host a Soup & Potato Bar fundraiser for The Bridge in the fellowship hall of the church...AFTER the services. We will be preparing the things during the services. 
We need A LOT of donations- Soups and/or Chili, Potatoes, Tin Foil, Butter, Sour Cream, Shredded Cheese, Bacon Bits, and Chives.  If you and/or your parents or family members are interesting in donating ANY of the following PLEASE have them see Chris or Libby Luper or call Chris at 276.237.7513. 
We need all of the youth help we can get to put the items together, set up the fellowship hall, and clean up during and after the meal. If you are willing to help let Chris know IMMEDIATELY!!  It's important to be at the meal and to help since the money raised will go straight to the Bridge to benefit you! ALSO, this counts as a community service event for your Resurrection requirements.

3: October 12th- We will host a 5th quarter at The Bridge following the home Galax football game versus Graham. The 5th Quarter will go from about 7:30-11:00 pm.
