Matchbox Opportunity
Sign Up By April 30
We have exciting Matchbox news! From June 13th to June 18th we will be taking a trip to Ozark Christian College to attend the Creative Arts Academy. Throughout the week, students will grow in their creativity with focused tracks specific to their talents and gifts. Some of these tracks include photography, theater, animation, graphic design, vocal and instrumental training. The goal of CAA is to empower high school students to use their crafts in a way that creates Jesus culture in the world. Through training in multiple disciplines, purposeful collaboration with other artists and peers, and in an atmosphere of joy, you will leave as better artists and culture creators.
The cost is $275 and the church will be launching fundraisers in May to help lower the cost. If you have a student who would be interested in signing up, or if you would like to partially or fully support an attendee, email matchbox@poplarcreek.com. The final date to sign up is April 30th. You don't want to miss out on this amazing opportunity!
