Greetings Oasis Confirmation parents.

I'd like to extend some thank yous to start this week's email. Thank you to all the students who have acolyted thus far, and all the parents who have supported getting them here early. There have been many positive comments from the congregation. They're doing a great job! Thank you to all the parents who are sponsoring your child's Carnival booth. You can give that $30 donation to me directly, or drop if off to Heather in the office.

We have entered into our busy season at Bethesda. There is a lot going on in Oct-Nov-Dec. Please be sure to read this entire message so you don't miss details about upcoming events.

HALLOWEEN CARNIVAL-October 29, 6:15-7:30pm
Remember, we expect ALL PARENTS and STUDENTS to be involved with this special event. Your presence will help us manage this community event.
We require ONE parent/adult to be managing the booth with their child.
There will be no meal be served that evening at church.
Workers will need to be in place NO LATER than 6pm.

I still need help with set-up on Tuesday evening, October 28 at 7pm. Many have indicated they would help with tear down on Wednesday after the event. Thank you.
We have filled all the monetary sponsors for each booth to help off-set carnival expenses. Thank you to those that have signed up. These donations covered about half of the cost of the carnival (candy, prizes, games). If you still would like to make a $$ donation towards the event, please direct it to me or to Heather in the office.

As always, if you have any further questions, please let me know.
Thanks for walking this journey with your child.
