VIRTUAL 7-UP This edition of our newsletter is dedicated strictly to giving instructions about signing up and what honors will be offered at our virtual 7UP just less than a month away! We are so excited about how it is all coming together, and we are so thankful for the willing people who have volunteered their time to teach honors, speak, sing, create videos, etc. God is truly blessing and we can’t wait to see you all via Zoom in just a few short weeks.

PATHFINDER NEWS Keeping our clubs connected and informed!

REGISTRATION FOR 7-UP We are doing online registration through Eventbrite at:

https://www.eventbrite.com/e/7up-virtual-event-registration-136341578331

You will register your club as a whole and list all the participants’ names and emails (including staff). This is so we can then send the zoom link to all those registered. It is $5 per person (including staff) to cover the cost of a few items that we will be sending your way. Because we want to get these items to you before Feb 19, and there is a limited supply, we ask that you please get registered as soon as possible. The price goes up to $10 per person after Feb. 14, so don’t delay! You can pay online with a credit card, or you can choose the option to send in a check or be invoiced to the church as you check out.

Please make sure you check the add-ons before checking out on Eventbrite. That is where you will sign up the Pathfinders for the honors they would like to do. These will be first come, first serve and we are limiting each honor to 15 people, just so it isn’t too hard to handle in a zoom class. The next few sections will be dedicated to the different honors being offered and the needs for each honor.

When you are ready to register, (you know who all will be participating and which honors they want to do), click on the link to the left and it will take you straight to Eventbrite. Please sign each Pathfinder up for only one honor for the weekend. Staff, please refrain from signing up for honors until Pathfinders have been able to make their selections, and then we can let you know what we have room for. Please don’t hesitate to contact Kim Taylor at ktaylor@kytn.net or 615-859-1391 if you run into any problems or have any questions.

LEGO HONOR The LEGO Honor comes to us from Sam Prevost & Family. They can only take up to 10 participants and there are quite a few supplies that you will want to have on hand.

COME TO CLASS FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 19 WITH THE FOLLOWING:

1. A Tub of LEGO bricks.  (If you do not have any yet, we recommend purchasing A LEGO Classic Brick Box. There are a wide variety of sizes/prices available.) NOTE: Official LEGO elements will all have the LEGO word stamped on each and every stud. Please be sure you have the real deal!

2. A working knowledge of the following 10 LEGO terms: a. Element -Any item made by The LEGO Group. For example: brick, plate, tile, all minifigure pieces and accessories.

    b. Stud- The round connection point on top of a standard LEGO brick.       c. Brick -A standard plastic LEGO element. Usually 6 sided (including top and bottom) and ranging in widths and lengths between 1 and 16 studs.

d. Plate -A flat plastic LEGO element. One third the height of a brick element.

e. Base Plate -A flat plastic LEGO element with no attachment points on the bottom and thinner than a standard plate.

f. Tile -Similar to a LEGO plate however with no attachment points or studs on top.

g. Slope- A LEGO brick that has been modified to have a downward incline. The top of the brick has fewer connection points than the bottom of the brick.

h. Inverted Slope -A LEGO brick that has been modified to have an upward incline. The top of the brick has more connection points than the bottom of the brick.

i. Hinge-  One or more LEGO elements that are combined to allow connected pieces to move in any range of motion. j. Minifigure- Typically 4 LEGO elements that make up a LEGO person: 1. Hat, hair, helmet, etc. 2. Head 3. Torso (has arms / hands) 4. Legs (has waist)

(NOTE: Two more terms are required for this Pathfinder Honor, but we will go over them during our time together. They are:  Technic and Power Functions)

3. A piece of your world that you have turned into a LEGO creation!  • Find a real-life object in your home or

out in nature. Careful! Not too big and it's got to be able to be carried! While looking at it as a reference point, build a life-size replica of it. Bring both the reference object and your wonderful LEGO replica to class. Don't worry if the colors don't match exactly.

4. A proposal for a Bible story you could tell to a group of 2-9 year olds where you use as a visual aid at least one item you have built with LEGO.  You will be presenting your story in the final class on Saturday, so the more prepared you are by the time class begins on Friday, February 19, the better!

SCRAPBOOKING HONOR The Scrapbooking Honor will be taught by Pastor Nelson Silva’s wife April and Silke Hubbard who also works in the conference office. They both love scrapbooking and can’t wait to have fun teaching you the ways as well.

There will be items they need to send to you so we are asking that you sign up for scrapbooking by Feb 11 at the latest so we have time to get you your supplies.

I will be emailing the list of what will be needed at another time. I don’t have their full list quite yet.

AREA LEVEL PBE I know I said this newsletter would only be about 7UP, but I have to take a moment to thank Michal King and his team on putting together an amazing virtual event this past weekend. All four teams will move on to the Conference level which will also be virtual on Feb. 13 (the weekend before 7UP). Below are a couple of the screenshots taken during the zoom call of the participants. Great job Pathfinders and good luck as you prepare for the Conference level!
