This past Sunday we had a blast at WinterJam. Both the music and the message were great. You can take a look at some of our fun here.
Summer Camp & Mission Trip: We’re grateful for all who showed interest and support in these ministry opportunities last week at the info meeting. If you missed the meeting, or would like more information, you can pick up packets for both trips in the Youth Center, or online at www.oneeightyone.org.
I’m beginning to wonder if our teens are going to have anymore five-day school weeks. Regardless, we enjoyed Monday off with a Gym & Game Day. It was a blast, hanging out and playing games. You can view more pictures here.
Mission Trip & Summer Camp Parent Meeting: On Sunday, February 23, at 12:30 pm, we will meet in the Youth Center to discuss the details of the summer trips. All interested students and parents should attend.
Paid Summer Internship 2014: Please contact me if you know of someone you think might be a good fit to work with our children and youth this coming summer. We have 2 paid positions available. You can find more information to pass along to them here.
Once again, the Randolphs’ and their Growth Group did a fantastic job hosting this year’s Super Bowl Outreach Party. I was encouraged both by the attendance as well as the number of guests. Michael Anderson, Luke Griffey, and Morgan Wade clearly shared why Jesus is important to them. All of the students heard the Gospel and had a chance to respond. Please pray for the spiritual seeds that were planted, and for students as they follow-up with their friends. You can see more pictures here.
Tonight’s Gym & Game Night was a great opportunity for our teens to burn off some of the Polar Vortex induced idle energy! Checkout more pics here.
Don’t miss the Super Bowl Outreach Party this Sunday. More info and sign-up here.
What an amazing weekend! We’re back from our Winter Retreat: The Hunger & Thirst Games. I’m grateful for a record attendance, cooperative weather, safety, and powerful worship, and meaningful time together and God’s Word. You can checkout pictures from the retreat here.
Happy New Year! I’m excited to kick this calendar year off with big with our Hunger and Thirst Games Winter Retreat, January 17-19. It’s hard to believe, it’s next weekend already. If you haven’t signed your teen up yet, please do so ASAP. Sunday is the last day to signup. You can register here.
Christmas Caroling & Party – we had a blast tonight. We began our evening caroling at a local retirement center. We finished up with a party: a cookie decorating contest, snacks, and caroling.
Keeping up online (Twitter & Instagram): There are plenty of ways to find out what’s going on. This blog, emailed to you weekly is one of the best. Of course there are our printed updates through the bulletin (weekly), the Pulse (monthly), and In-Touch (quarterly). But now you can see updates from me, our leaders, and even the students. Follow us through the following links:
As many of you know, tonight was Growth Group Night, where are groups enjoyed the entire evening however they wanted. Each group did something different, and as you can see, they had a blast!
I have to admit, I love a good road trip, which is why I enjoyed our Christian College Trip last week so much. Our upperclassmen got to visit five schools. While on the road, we had plenty of opportunity to talk about our futures, and what God has in store for us.
