The Race Is On, But Explorer Groups Are Not

The fabulous 4th Annual Amazing Race kicks off at 10am tomorrow (Wednesday) morning. Dress warm and dry, because it will be a bit chilly and wet, but that won't dampen the enthusiam as four teams of students (and leaders) dash through downtown Portland. New this year (besides some locations we've never hit before) is a post-race ice cream party at the church starting around 3:45pm (after the official awards ceremony), so all the shouting should be over by 4pm.

Also, as this IS Spring Break and as we ARE having a big 6-hour event Wednesday, there will be NO Explorer Group meeting tomorrow night. We will pick them up again on April 1st, (no foolin')! Please read Leviticus and half of 1st Zephania in preparation. (Okay, that may be not for real!)

If It's Almost Spring Break...

...we must be getting close to this year’s Amazing Race through downtown Portland. Mark your calendars for Wednesday, March 25th for this exciting “most-all-day” BCC Middle School event, (10am – 4pm). The cost is just $20 and includes everything, including Max fare to and from downtown Portland, lunch, hours of fun, a few cheap prizes and new this year, a post-AR ice cream sundae extravaganza. Students can pick-up a combination flyer/registration form any Sunday morning at Refuge or you can request a printable pdf version by emailing students@bcc.org and blast one back your way. Watch for a few more blog postings about this most Amazing of Races in the coming weeks.
