SING-ON

Last year everyone really enjoyed listening to the few groups who participated in the Sing-On.  We would LOVE to have more groups sing this year!  The aim is to have groups of 2 or more prepare 3-4 songs to be sung a cappella.  They could be well known congregational songs or some uplifting songs not so well suited to congregational singing.  This will be at 2:00 at RSU.  

The group meal will be at 4:00 in the banquet hall:

spaghetti (not sure of all the sides!)

The worship service will be at 6:00 in the auditorium at RSU with Bro.Grady Dunavant speaking on "True Worship & the Lord's Supper"

**T-shirt deadline is May 1st**

Ropes Course

The Hilltop Challenge (ropes course) is recommended for anyone over age 12.  It is designed to build confidence and teamwork among participants using a combination of games, obstacle courses, and problem solving activities.  The degree to which each person participates is the individuals' choice, based on what the person can comfortably and willingly risk.  No one is required, forced, or coerced to perform any activity.  The participants will do low elements in the morning and move on to high elements in the afternoon.  Some of the elements include a zip line, platforms, logs, games, climbing wall and other activities.  The fee is $35.  All participants under the age of 18 must have a waiver signed by a parent.  For the course overview, please visit www.rsu.edu/hilltopchallenge

If you have any questions or want to participate in the ropes course please contact Julie Hays at jhchays@yahoo.com or 918-629-8499 or let Jamie know when you make your dorm reservations.  It is very important that even if you MIGHT be interested in doing this to please let us know.  Last year we had to turn people away because the college didn't have enough workers.  We want to make sure that doesn't happen this year, so let us know if you are thinking about it.  It's ok if you change your mind that week.  All participants MUST have closed-toe tennis shoes.  The ropes course will begin at 8:00 a.m. and last most of the day.  

  

At 4:00 the meal will be served in the banquet room:

bacon wrapped chopped sirloin steak

salad

oven roasted potatoes

vegetable medley

Wednesday July 1st

Wednesday is going to be a day not to miss.  We have several fun activities planned for everyone to participate in!

Those who were at the meeting last year will remember The Amazing Race. It was a hit with everyone who participated and great fun for spectators too.  Miss Glenda is hard at work again planning another one for this summer.  She promises it will be just as fun but different and maybe even more challenging!  This is best suited for ages 12 years and older and those who are up for physical challenges!  This will take place at 9:00 a.m. on the RSU campus.

At 1:00 we have a Scavenger Hunt planned for the younger kids.  This will take place on the campus as well.  We will ask everyone at the dorms to participate to make this a really fun event for the kids.

At 4:00 the meal will be served in the banquet room:

chicken fried steak with gravy

salad

mashed potatoes & corn

rolls

apple cobbler

The most important event of the day is the worship service at 6:00  in the auditorium on campus.  Bro. Ken Avaritt will be speaking on "Be Strong-Endure Hardness as a Good Soldier"

After the worship service we have a pancake supper planned.  This will take place at the Verdigris Elementary School cafeteria that is not too far from the college.  This is promised to be really fun.  They tell us the bigger the crowd the more laughs!  For a preview of what this will be like check out their website at www.chriscakes.com
