rbcstudents needs your help!

Hello parents and volunteers!

I am posting/emailing because we have several things coming up and we need some help from you. If you are able and interested in serving in any of the following areas, please let me know. You can email jnelson@ridgecrestbaptist.org. Let me know soon because we will need to get a background check completed on you ASAP so you are eligible to serve. Please know without adequate adult volunteers, we will not be able to do these things so do not assume someone else will cover it. If you have never gotten involved before, this is the PERFECT opportunity to start fresh! I promise you will love the time with our students and leave so fulfilled. 

One-time opportunities in the NEAR future

1- Fall Kick-Off THIS Wednesday: We need extra adults around on Wednesday, especially from about 5:45 to 6:30. We "start" at 6:00 with a cook out and time to hang out. Our service starts at 6:30. I want to make sure we have plenty of adults around getting to know our students and making sure kids are where they should be and not wondering off to other parts of the church. Tad has all ready volunteered to come and grill for us. Our goal is to have 100+ students at this event, including our new 7th graders. 

2- The Stand: We need adults to come along with Kate and I for The Stand. Renee (my wife) would be glad to do it if there were someone who might want to keep an eye on our beautiful children while we are there (preferably someone the kids sort of know all ready.) Other than the three of us, we need a couple more parents to come along, It would be great if one of those volunteers could also drive a bus for us. 

3- Tailgating: We are tailgating all season long, but our first Tailgate of the season is August 30th at Kickapoo. We need a couple of volunteers to come and help with this event, including someone to grill for us. I will also need some students, so if your kids are interested, let me know! We will show up before the game and grill in the parking lot as well as set-up the wii and the Mobile Church Unit. 

On-going opportunities to serve

1- Small Group Leaders: We need a leader for 9th grade boys, 12th grade boys, & 8th grade girls. You are NOT expected to be there every Sunday, but you are expected to get involved in our students lives. I will share more info with you if you think you might be interested. You will not be responsible for preparing a "lecture" but instead facilitating discussion. 

2- Snack Shack: We need adults willing to help our students work our new concession stand on Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings. I would love to get an adult to take charge of this ministry, but I would also hope to get a rotation going with students and adults. This is an easy area but will require you to arrive plenty early to sell snacks before services start. I have Sandra Terrell and Callie Linville all ready volunteering for this, but I could really use a couple of more for the rotation. 

3- Security: We have a BIG building and a lot of students. We need adults who will just be here keeping an eye on kids making sure they are not going and doing something they shouldn't. We will need people especially for Midweek and for events we host at the church. I have Sandra Terrell and Callie Linville all ready volunteering for this, but we could really use two people each week.
