“Tyler State Park Trip”
July 1st On this trip we will be going to Tyler State Park. They have biking trails, hiking, fishing, swimming, and paddle boats at the park. We have rented 2 separate day use areas that can sit between 75-100 people each (Group Area #3 & The Dining Hall area). One day use area is the actual dining hall that is covered – the walls are not solid though – and has a stove, refrigerator, double sinks, picnic tables surrounding the dining hall, ceiling fans, electricity and water. Group Area # 3 is close to the water with 12 picnic tables and grills at each one with a Jungle Gym area and a fishing pier close. We will be going through all the biking trails first thing at 10 am and then eating lunch at noon. We will be doing a bible study directly after lunch. The beach area is supervised and very clean and will be open to anyone who wishes to get in the water after lunch or they can go fishing. We will stay at the park until around 7:30 pm so we will have a full day to really enjoy the park. We welcome EVERYONE to join us on this trip and we really hope to have everyone from the church be able to attend. (Don’t forget to ask off work ahead of time!)
Fees: $3.00 per person over 13 – 12 and under are free & anyone between the ages of 13 & 17 will be paid for by the money raised and donated by the church. Parking is free once you pay the entrance fee. For more information and specific directions to the park please go to http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/spdest/findadest/parks/tyler/
Transportation: We will be using the bus and (renting vans if needed) for all the children from 3 to 17 and anyone who like to follow may do so. We will leave from the church (2930 N. ST Augustine Dallas, TX 75227) at 8:00 AM.
Food: You will be asked to bring your OWN lunch. Sack lunch or bring hot dogs or burgers to grill out at the lake. You will need to provide all of your own condiments, drinks, and supplies to do so. Also, you may want to bring a covered tent and chairs to relax in throughout the day to keep out of the sun. We will be cooking out hot dogs/burgers for dinner around 5PM and will have chips and cookies as well. We will be bringing lots of water for all the kiddos. To recap, you bring lunch & we provide dinner.
What to bring: Fishing Poles if you want to fish, bicycles if you want to ride bikes, footballs or any other type or sports you would like to play. SUNGLASSES!
ATTIRE: Make sure to bring plenty of sun block SPF 35 +! Children will wear their Summer T-Shirts so we can easily locate them. If you want to get in the water then make sure you bring Cut-off jeans/shorts below the knees for the doods with t-shirts so you don’t fry to a crisp & Capri’s for the ladies with dark colored t-shirts. Let’s be Christians! Don’t forget towels!
“Six Flags Over Texas – Arlington, TX”
July 15th The big trip of the year! We will be taking the bus on this trip as well to Six Flags. They have multiple rides and shows for all ages. We are going to need lots of chaperones on this trip and REALLY hope the parents will be able to participate this year in coming. The park opens at 10:30 AM and we will arrive at the gate by 9:30-9:45 to get through the gates first. We will not be leaving until 10:00 PM so if you want to leave earlier then plan on driving.
Transportation: We will be leaving at 8:00 AM (sharp) from the church and you need to be at there at 7:30 AM and ready to go. We are pulling out at 8 o’ clock and if you’re not there then you’ll have to drive to the park (trying to keep forty kids on a bus not going anywhere is crazy!). We will be taking the bus and probably TWO – 15 passenger vans to get everyone there. We are going to need a couple of drivers as well. The kids from ages 3-17 will get priority in the bus to keep them all together. If you would like to bring your kids in your vehicle and meet us at the gate you are welcome to but PLEASE let me know ahead of time so we can find you. If you are planning on attending we ask you get a t-shirt so we can locate your children if they decide to go with a particular group.
FEES: Children ages 2 and under are free at the park. Ages 3-17 will be paid for by your donations and fund raisers. Your child’s name must be on the list and have the forms signed by May 10th to receive a ticket. Everyone else will be required to pay their own fee. If you would like to get the group rate of $24.50 per ticket you MUST have your money into Marie Perry (church secretary) by 05-10-2009 because we will be purchasing the tickets by the 05-15-09 to receive the $24.50 price vs. $26.99 per ticket. You may purchase your tickets at the gate on the morning of the trip at the regular price or whatever price you can get if you find a coupon.
Attire: Again, make sure you bring sun block SPF 35+. We want to make sure all the kiddos have the Summer T-Shirts on so we can keep everyone in the groups together.

“Little Rock, Arkansas Youth Meeting”
(This is a Youth Trip that is headed up by our youth leaders. Since it’s in the “Summer” I thought I would add it to the list so everyone would know about it.)
July 30 – Aug 1 Church Youth Meeting in Little Rock, Arkansas. This trip is for the youth from 12 and up that go on the bus. David & Krista Perry [email protected] will be heading up the trip as usual as our courageous youth leaders! I will post more information as it’s available on this trip. I do know that if you want your children to go then you are welcome to follow the bus and take YOUR children. They do not allow chaperones for anyone under the age of 12 except for parents. It’s an amazing meeting and an awesome experience if you have never been.
Transportation: They will be taking the bus this year.
Fees: Usually costs about $40 per person or so for the trip plus hotel (depending on the fundraisers).
Attire: Bring your Sunday best!
