2 nyc 2019 theme: Love God. Love Others. Simple, but challenging. Sometimes described as two pillars of following Jesus, we will explore the connective nature of our relationship with God and others while learning what it means to live out His love in our world. Matthew 22:37-40: Jesus said to him, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. Excursions We will join the with Central Field (ONU) for a fun day in the sun at Wet n Wild before the conference starts. We are excited to provide an opportunity for the students and adults to come see and explore one of the seven natural wonders of the world.

5 Fundraising plan for NYC19 Summer/Fall Plan *Sorrentos - Invite people to eat at Sorrentos in Flushing on the following nights and we will receive 10% of the profit if they mention Flushing Community Church Youth Group. July 23rd, August 20th, September 17th and October 22nd *Adopt-a-box - This is designed to target people outside of our church. People will pick a number from the grid and that is how much they agree to pay. *Support Letters - A support letter has been written for your student to send to people for prayers and monetary donation. *Change Challenge - Families from our church will take a Mason Jar home with them and fill it up with their spare change from the day. They can bring in their money when the jar is full and keep filling it up until our deadline. *Can/Bottle Drives - Students will collect cans/bottles in designated neighborhoods. (only students who participate will receive the money in their account) August 18th and September 8th are the first two drives Church families will be asked to bring their cans/bottles in on August 19th *Yard Sale - We are inviting the community to participate by purchasing a parking space to sell their goods/garage sale items in our lot. We will also sell concession items at the sale. *Envelope Giving - Our congregation will be asked to grab an envelope and place money into the envelope with the amount that is printed on the front($1-$200) If all envelopes are taken and returned with the designated amount, we will have raised $20,000. *Fundraising Websites - Flipgive - This is a shop and raise website that earns cash every time you shop online. Our students will earn cash when shop online for equipment, restaurant gift cards, travel, clothing and more. They can ask others to join our team and earn money as well. Winter Plan *Spaghetti Dinner - This will be after church on a Sunday morning. But we ve also talked about opening one up on the weekend for the community. *Pancake Breakfast - We are looking at doing this before church in the café. Also, talked about another time doing it for the community to be invited on a Saturday morning. *Auction - This would be an event that students can offer to babysit, shovel snow, do projects around the house, or something else that they feel that they could offer to help do. People from the church can donate services or products to auction off. This would look something like a silent auction. We ve talked about combining it with one of the dinner/breakfast events as well.

We ve talked about winner getting a monetary prize for winning as well. *Dodgeball Tournament - Teams will pay money to be a part of this tournament which will be held at the church. *Parent s Night Out - This would be an event where our students would babysit kids at the church for a donation, while the parents go out for the evening.

Students who are going to NYC, could receive money towards the trip instead. *Donut Sales - Donuts can be purchased in the café for $1. *Flamingo Prank/Protection - People can pay money for a flock of flamingos to fill the yards of friends. The idea is that each yard that is flamingoed will pay money for another yard to get it. People can also purchase flamingo insurance to keep their yard from getting flamingoed. *Family Movie Night - Though we can t charge to see a movie, we can accept donations. We will also have concessions available for purchase.
