We are SO EXCITED that Armour Up is almost here, and we think Jordan Speith is the only one who understands.

Welcome to AU 2015!  Please download & print out the following Survival Guide for June 3 to help you navigate the first night of AU plus the rest of the summer.  Hopefully it will answer any questions you might have regarding our program.

Also, please mark your calendar for our Armour Up WE WILL T-shirt pick up on Monday, June 1st from 10am-noon at 3912 Colgate Ave.  If you are unable to pick up your child’s t-shirt, please have a friend pick yours up for you!  We would like to have all shirts picked up before night one of AU so we can reserve that time for programming.   As a reminder, please have your child wear his Armour Up t-shirt every week to AU.  (And please refrain from wearing a green jacket over your t-shirt as it conceals our logo, and we might have to ask you to leave.)

Armour Up’s mission statement includes teaching our boys to ‘demonstrate God’s love to others’.  We have partnered with Arise Africa, a Christian ministry in Zambia, by donating school supplies to underprivileged children.  During the month of June (starting June 3rd), we will collect the following supplies to be delivered to Africa later in the summer:

ariseafrica

Incoming 3rd & 7th graders – please bring scissors, rulers and/or tape

Incoming 4th & 8th graders – please bring pens, pencils, markers and/or crayons

Incoming 5th & 6th graders – please bring staplers, paper clips and/or rubber bands

If your son would like to write a small note (on an index card) to accompany the supplies that would be awesome.  We have actually met these kids and visited these schools, and the kids love nothing more than to connect to other children across the world.  They are overwhelmed by the amount of supplies we donate and their smiles are worth every penny we spend.  A sample note might read, ‘God bless you in school this year – Hudson, age 13 (7th grade)’.  Thank you for taking time to personalize your donation. 

We have added the Summer Bible Verse Calendar 2015 and the Summer ThemeCalendar 2015 to our website.  Please print them out and post them in your child’s room, on the bathroom mirror, on the refrigerator, etc.  This will hopefully help them keep their eyes on Him.
