YEC Parent letter 2014

 November 18, 2014 Dear Parents, In just a few days, 150 students and leaders from Calvary will head to the Cajun Dome in Lafayette to join several thousand teenagers from all over Louisiana for the Youth Evangelism Celebration (YEC)! We are so excited to have your student join us! The theme for the conference this year is “Live Sent.” We believe that God has created us for more than ordinary or mundane lives. He desires for us to live boldly for Him and share the Good News of Jesus Christ to the entire world. Your students will get to learn from Wes Hamilton and experience worship through music led by the incredible band, Finding Favor. Special guests include Jared Hall (illusionist) and a Monday night concert will feature Dove Award’s best new artist of 2013, For King and Country! We have included a couple of important documents with this letter: 1.) Permission Wavier that must be signed by a parent/guardian before the student may leave on Sunday; 2.) Schedule of the weekend for you to have so that you know when and where your student is during the conference. Here are some basic details. Your student will need to arrive at the Chi Alpha (XA) House no later than 2:00pm on Sunday November 23rd. We will need to give them final instructions before heading down to Lafayette. Please make every effort to not be late! All students will be transported from Calvary to Lafayette by one of leaders in church vans or personal vehicles. The only meal provided for the students during the weekend will be breakfast on Monday morning at the hotel. We will make food stops on Sunday for dinner and Monday for lunch and dinner. At each of these times students will be responsible for purchasing their own meals (fast food/mall food court). Students may want to bring some extra cash for concessions open at the Cajun Dome throughout the conference, though it will not be necessary. We are so excited to have your student join us for this opportunity to worship with thousands of other teenagers from around our state. Be praying that God will speak to your child during this weekend, and that he/she will have the courage to be obedient to Christ’s leading. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to call or stop by the Student Ministry offices. Discipling students together, Billy Lonsberry Lead Student Pastor 318-­‐445-­‐5640 ext. 290 [email protected] 2014 YEC SCHEDULE
