Worship, Football, Mission

The Living Room
We will be gathering this Sunday night at 6:00pm in the CVA for a time of Worship and reflection together. I hope you and your family can be there.

Super Bowl Sunday - February 1st
This year we will be fellowshipping over football at the Ramsey home (12530 Lakewood Hills Drive, Northport, AL 35475). Bring your favorite finger food along and we shall commence to watch our last dose of football and eating too much.  Kick-off is at 5:30.

Spring Break Mission Trip - March 13-17

In an effort to start a domestic mission point we will be taking a group to Sneedville, TN to serve and love the people of that community.  Sneedville is located in an extremely poverty stricken area with people living in conditions that you would not expect to find in the United States.  God has been doing some powerful things there through an organization called Run4water over the past several years.  We will be partnering with them to take on projects and help families in need. More precise details to come but I do hope your teen will make plans to be able to join us as we begin our efforts there.

Upcoming Dates

Hello Parents,

I just have a couple of things I wanted to go ahead and throw out there.  First, just a reminder that the calendar (click HERE) is always available for you calendar people.  

Wednesday Nights
We will continue meeting on Wednesday nights at 6:30.

Ephesians 4 Initiative
I have been highly encouraged so far from the response and zeal your teens have given towards this approach we are taking.  We are going to try and kick it up a level this semester with several opportunities coming our way.  It seems that the best time for these meetings to take place are Wednesdays before our weekly gatherings.  Again, you can check the calendar for the schedules of these meetings.  Next week will be the first of the semester.

Hang Nights
Through out the semester we are going to get together on an occasional Saturday night to just simply hang out.  Could be a movie, game night, or a trip to Birmingham.  This Saturday, January 10th, will be our first hang night of the semester.  For this one we will simply get together here at the building and play some games.  It will be from 6:00pm-9:00pm, Food provided.  

Spring Retreat - April 17-19
We are headed to Berry College in Rome, GA to take part in the Winshape Wilderness program.  This is a low and high element ropes course.  I have been there on several occasions and can testify that this is a top notch program.   Ill be in touch with more details as the dates approach
