pizza, trees, deviled eggs, sing, splash and DEADLINE!

Well the summer is rolling along as we wrap up AMPED and I just want to say what a fantastic job your kids are doing in serving each night.  I am continually impressed with the way they don’t just see this as them helping out but really embrace it as an opportunity to serve and invest in these younger kids.  They really are doing great!!

As we move forward Ill be giving a little more of an explanation on things than I usually do in order to make sure those new to our group know what in the world Im talking about.  I want to ask that you guys be in prayer over this summer.  Pray God use every opportunity we have to get together to be a space for growth.  Growth in relationship with each other and growth in communion with Him. Here we go!!!

This is for those in grades 9-12. This is something Ive been wanting to do for many years and we are going to make it happen this year! It’s exactly what you think it is… we are going on a road trip and they wont know where we are headed.  The trip will be designed in a way to stretch us spiritually as well as to have a ton of fun. We will be going places and doing things that everyone will love so they dont have to worry about it being something they might not be into.... like camping.  More info to come, but I just wanted to get it on your brain.

BMX Exhibition/Amped - June 3-7

The term “VBS” has been laid to rest along side “booster booster be a booster” and moving forward this week will lovingly be known as AMPED.  AMPED will be June 4-7 from 6:00pm-8:00pm each evening with an option to eat together at 5:00pm.  In an effort to righteously kick off the week and draw in members of the community there will be a BMX exhibition on Sunday, June 3 at 5:00pm…. This ties into the theme of AMPED.   We are planning to make this as big of an event as we can and are really trying to get the word out to the community.  I tell you all of this because we are going to need your help in order to pull off this really great outreach opportunity.  You can click HERE to check out the different areas you might be willing to serve at AMPED as well as an option to help with the Outcast BMX Event.
