Come to Reach Feast, Dinner & Auction to Support Student Missions!

Are you coming to Reach Feast? It is next week, on TUESDAY, MARCH 31, and is a spaghetti dinner & silent auction to support Blackhawk student mission trips to Honduras and Romania. This is the one big event we're putting on before the trip along with the Middle School Honduras team.

Apart from being a GREAT TIME, Reach Feast will be raising funds and awareness while introducing the teams for these two trips and partnerships. Everyone is invited to bid on great silent and LIVE auction items, eat delicious food and learn about the trips. Please purchase tickets in advance. Tickets: $10 for each adult; $5 for ages 12 & under.

Purchase at www.blackhawkchurch.org (under What’s New, click on Reach Feast), or just click: PURCHASE TICKETS HERE. You can also purchase tickets in the Blackhawk atrium before/after all services this upcoming Sunday, March 29.

You can see a list of current auction items by clicking here: AUCTION ITEMS. Items include: ownership of a condo timeshare in Vail, CO, autographed framed picture of Brett Favre, weekend getaways to cabins and resorts, spa treatments (massages!), gift certificates to awesome restaurants, work teams of students available to work at your home/business, limo rides, Packers, Badgers, and Mallards tickets, Ultra Zone laser tag birthday party, Madison Symphony Orchestra tickets, rounds of golf, free pizza for a year, gift baskets, and so much more!!

If you are unable to come to Reach Feast (or if you missed it!) but you would like to make a monetary donation to the Romania trip, you can mail a check to Blackhawk Church, 9620 Brader Way, Verona, WI 53593. On the memo line, please include "ROM-0709 - TEAM". (If your contribution is for a team member in particular, please include that person's full name in place of "TEAM").

Thank you so much for your continued support of our team! Hope to see you next Tuesday night!

-Lief and the 2009 Romania Team

Our first post for Romania 2009!

Today was the third meeting of our 2009 team. We've decided to use the same blog from last year to update all our friends, family and supporters along the way. If you'd like to see what the trip and planning will be like, feel free to look back through the posts from last years trip.

We are all very excited and are enjoying getting to know each other a bit as we begin planning. About a third of us were on the team last year and the rest of us are getting quickly caught up. Our team is larger this year - 25 in total - 17 students and 8 adults. I've been encouraged by the community that exists within our team this early on, and I know it will only get stronger.
