Off*Site Nights coming up...

The last week of October, youth group will be Off*Site.

We do this several times throughout the year as opportunities for the groups to connect in a deep way. Groups are encouraged to choose an environment and time where they can hang out as a group and build relationships.

The leader from your son/daughter's cell group leader should be getting in touch with you soon as to their plan for the 28th (OASIS) or 29th (CRUX). If you do not hear from them, feel free to contact them or Lisa in the church office.

I am currently in Minnesota taking courses for my seminary program. I will be back home Nov. 1st

Open WELL for High School Students

If you have a High School student, you will notice several Saturday nights during the next two months when we will be opening The WELL (coffee shop in Faith E lobby) for students to come hang out if they would like. Each night we will have 2-4 adults present. This is a "come and go event"... meaning you it is important for you communicate with your son/daughter if they are here, etc. The Well will be open from 7-11pm, but we do not expect students to stay the entire time. We coffee and beverages will be available for purchase and students can hang out with their friends, play games, videos, etc.

If you are interested and available to be around for a 2 hour shift on any of the Open WELL nights, please let me know... it would be greatly appreciated.

OCT./NOV. Calendars

You should be receiving in the mail either today or tomorrow a calendar of events for the next 2 months! If you do not receive one, that means you are not currently active on our mailing list. If you would like to receive info such as calendars via the mail, please contact Lisa in the office so she can get you active on our database!

CRUX update v.08.10.08

We have had a great start to the fall... unbelievable we are a full week into October already. In case your son/daughter has not share with you about CRUX thus far, we have started the year off by challenging our students (and leaders alike) to create a lifestyle of serving others. It has been a great series. Tonight concludes the part where we TALK about serving... and really start living it out. Next week CRUX does not meet at the church. We have designated that night for groups to meet and either finalize there plans for serving someone else OR actually doing it. If they choose not do the service project that night, we encouraged them to set up a time during the 4-day weekend to go out and serve. Then the following week (Oct. 22) we will gather all the students for a night of Celebrating and sharing with each other what each group did and the response from those they served.

If you do not know what your son/daughters group is up to next week (time & location) please feel free to contact their cell group leader for the details (you can call Lisa in the office here to get the phone number for your child's leader).
