The Jr. High will be participating in the 30 Hr. Famine here in the Life Center on Friday and Saturday, March 19 and 20.  Students will begin their fast at noon on Friday, and the Famine activities will begin here at 6 pm on Friday evening.  There will be activities planned throughout Friday evening and Saturday to help the students develop a better understanding of the conditions and lives of those they are raising money to support.  More information about the event will be given directly to the students who have signed up to participate.

As a congregation, we can support the students by making donations to provide care for children in third world countries.  Each $360 raised will provide food and clothing for a child for an entire year.  Just $1 per day, less than the cost of a bottle of pop or a cup of coffee.  This year, it makes it even more meaningful when we realize we have Brad and Abby Houdashelt, and Nadia Neil out on the front lines of the mission field.  Donations will be collected up through March 19.

The Sr. High will be meeting in the worship center on the following dates for practice for the Sunrise Service.

On Sundays, March 7, 21, and 28, on Wednesday, March 31, and on Friday and Saturday, April 2 and 3.

It will be a combination of singing and speaking parts.  We will be taking a look at the script on March 7 to determine parts, etc. 

We are inviting all 7th through 12th grade students to join the Pure Rebellion.  The conference will take place here at Castine Church on Sunday, March 14, from 2-9 pm.  This is a conference calling for guys and girls in Jr. and Sr. High to rebel against society's norms, providing an alternative look at real life issues for teens related to purity.  Leadership for the conference are students, alumni, and staff from Cedarville University that are involved in Sanctify Ministries.  Sanctify Ministries actively pursues opportunities to speak to students about issues, challenges, and risks they face as teens.

Register for the conference at www.castinestudentministries.org under the Event Registration tab.  The registration cost is $17 per student or youth worker which covers your materials, a drawstring backpack, and dinner.  Make your check payable to Castine Student Ministry, and mail your payment to Castine Church of the Brethren at 624 State Rt. 127, Arcanum, Ohio 45304 to the attention of Pure Rebellion Conference.

There will be a separate session for parents in the worship center.  There is no cost for the parents session.  Check out the details for the event under Event Registration on the website!
