Fashion for Jesus!

FRIENDS!
I am sorry it has been a while since I have updated. I am in school full time and working a ton so I am definitely learning time management. Wednesdays I have a combination of class and rehearsal from 7am until midnight. I do not take phone calls or emails on Wednesdays:). I wanted to let you know about a fabulous event coming up. First a little background. Last year, one of my junior highers in my small group wanted to put on a fashion show to raise money for Hill of Hope, specifically for Cypress St. She worked with different clothing stores, boutiques and other sponsors to donate clothes and items for a silent auction. The junior high students, including kids that live on Cypress St., modeled the clothes down the runway. We raised 3500 bucks and the kids from the community got to keep some of the donated clothes! It was chaotic but so fun and powerful. SOOOOOO this year we are at it again! Our fabulous student has even bigger dreams for this year's show. The high school youth group from Friends has gotten involved and expanded the event further than we could have ourselves. It is going to be a super outreach event for the community. The ministry teams have all taken charge of a part that needs to be done. We are going to have a silent auction, live bands and music and a super cool and fancy after party. We are hoping to raise 20,000 bucks this year. Our dreams and goals have expanded because God has truly opened up amazing doors for us. The event will take place March 7 at Yorba Linda Friends Church in Room 7, the after party immediately following. We hope this event raises awareness of Gods power as well as raising awareness for the forgotten areas of Orange County such as Cypress St. Tickets are $15.00 in advance and $20.00 at the door. PLEASE COME! We would love for you to see what we and this ministry are all about, as well as support our students. http://ylfc.org/cgi-bin/NewsList.cgi?section=highschool&cat=Happenings&rec=662
