30 Hour Famine Retreat on February 27-28

Hey There! 

30 Hour Famine Retreat on February 27-28 for youth in Grade 6 - 12.
We have a great line up of activities planned including worship rally & activities at Overlake Christian Church in Redmond the evening of the 27th and then our group will be involved in a variety of service projects on Saturday the 28th. 

Please RSVP your interest to Leena by Sunday Feb. 8th. I'm going to be on vacation Feb. 12-24th and have 12 days to get most of this planned.
Friends are welcome to participate. Please have them RSVP by Feb. 8th as well.

30 HOUR FAMINE -- YOU ASK ?? THAT MEANS NO FOOD FOR 30 HOURS RIGHT? THAT'S JUST CRAZY!!
Watch the 2009 promo video here: http://www.30hourfamine.org/ And you can ask Stephanie, Ann, Brandon, and Thomas about their experience last year....Now let me know if you're interested.

General Schedule:
* Famine starts at 12noon or after your lunch on the 27th. (Then drink lots of water and juice for the rest of the day)
If for medical reasons you are unable to do a full food fast - you can still participate we'll create an alternative fast (let you hide behind a corner to eat some food!)

* Come together around 5pm at Lake City Pres start the retreat portion of the famine. 

And lots of service opportunities (oh, and you can get 30 community service hours for this if you need it!). 

Hope to hear from you soon!
