2 weeks left until Super Summer High School

There are only 2 weeks left before Super Summer High School is here! If you have not registered your high schooler for camp yet, don't miss the opportunity to give them possibly the best week of their summer!

Super Summer is a great time to deepen good relationships, build some new friendships, and most importantly stimulate growth in their faith and walk with Jesus!

This year's theme is HELP! Throughout the week we will be focusing on recognizing that we all need a little help in life. We all have things from our life that are too tough to handle alone, but together and ultimately with the Help of God we can experience that "God is able to do exceedingly, abundantly, beyond all we are able to ask or think according to the power that works within us.” (Eph. 3:20).

We are excited this year to have our friends Plumbline back to lead us in worship and Megan Hutchinson from Saddleback Church in California as our speaker in the evenings for Summer Celebration!

All registration for camp this year is done online @ www.bmcrministries.org

Several scholarships are still available by request. Contact Paul @ the church office.

YS ONE DAY Video

YS ONE DAY training seminar!

Parents! Are you interested in unleashing the Scriptures in your family? Join us for an afternoon @ the Youth Specialties ONE DAY training seminar, The BIBLE: Bring it On! The seminar targets helping youth workers uncover the riches of God’s Word, lead students into fresh encounters with God’s Word, and provides ideas to help students experience Scripture. We believe as parents that you would want the same tools for raising your kids. So, because Faith E is the host for this training we can offer you, as parents, the seminar for only $10 (normally $59). If you are interested in join other parents and leaders from Faith Student Ministries, please let Lisa know via email (lisa@faithe.org) or by calling the church office 656-8747.
Seminar is on Sunday, April 26 from 1:45pm – 7:30pm. Snacks and a dinner will be provided.

Still time to come with your FAMILY

The exhibit is here 4 more days. I would highly recommend you taking the time to come through the exhibit with your FAMILY (even your children who are not yet adolescents). Even if you have already come once, or your child has (or is coming) with their cell group. There are 4 different stories, so you could potentially come 4 times and have a different experience each time. Use this as an opportunity to stimulate dialog in your home. You can even all for walk through the same story or each take a different one and ask each other what the stories were. Reservations can still be made online or you can simply walk in.
