Important Information

Hey croppers, Just wanted to take a few minutes to explain a few things in the April minutes.

One, we will not be able to have our crop in May at Gore Hall. So, we are in the process of finding another location. When I get a location verified, I will let you know asap. I've got a great place "in the works" but not for sure if it will work out or not.

Two, in June, our date has had to be changed. Instead of the third Friday, it will be the 2nd Friday (June 12, 2009). We had a conflict for that month as well, and this seemed the best choice. This will only affect the month of June. All other dates are scheduled for the third Friday of the month for the rest of the calendar year.

Three, we have been "organized" for almost a year now!! That's hard to believe!! One of our "officers" has to step down from her position. So, we have decided this will be a good time to reorganize. In our May meeting, we will vote for new "officers." I keep "quoting" those because I'm really not for sure what we call ourselves. Anyway, we have a chairperson, a co-chairperson, and a secretary. If any of you are interested in ANY of these positions, please let me know so I can create a "ballot" for May's meeting. Anyone that regularly attends our ministry that is not able to attend May's meeting will be given an opportunity to vote as well. So, please let me know if you are not going to be there and want to vote. That way, I can send you the info ahead of time. I know this may be very confusing (the way I've written it) so if anyone has any questions, please let me know.

Thanks to EVERYONE for being involved in this ministry. I'm so excited about how it's growing.

Helping with "Are You There Yet?"

If you haven't heard, the WOW kids and youth are going to be performing "Are You There Yet?" the first weekend in May.

For last year's musical the middle school and high school youth did a TON for promotions and such. They will not be able to do as much this year.

So, the Cumberland Croppers have been asked to help with the BIG board that was up with EVERY child's photo on it. It's kinda like the Homecoming one that Rebel & Andrea did last fall.

So, the first thing is to have people taking photos of all the kids. We're looking for some close-ups. This could be during rehearsal if we can do it without disruptions. We'll also need some pics of the rehearsals, dress rehearsals and during the performance also.

Keep in mind there will be lots of low light. So anyone that has an awesome camera and tripod - please help!! :)

We will complete the board the week of the performance. Time and day TBD.

If anyone is interested, please contact Michelle.

Crop Friday Night - April 17th

Just a reminder, our crop is Friday night!

A couple of items...

(1) If you have not received your shirts, they will be available Friday night at the crop.
(2) We do not have the church scheduled in May - in fact there are TONS of activities that look like they will be using the entire church. Be thinking of other locations / dates that would be possible - preferably free!! :)

Prayer items -

Two members of our group need our prayers.

Ruth Jean was in a car accident on Saturday. This had the potential for much damage as she was hit head-on. She is doing well, but still needs our prayers of healing and praise that she is doing well.

Andrea D. had a mishap at work and has some neck pain. Please pray for healing and comfort for her.

Otherwise - see you all Friday Night about 5pm!
