Getting ready for Easter! Tonight we stuff Easter eggs to help Children's Ministry prepare for their Egg Hunt. We will do this during our Large Group time 7-730pm.
Ignite (6th-8th grade): starts at 6pm (doors open 5:45) and ends at 7:30 (pick-up is a bit after that)
note: we often offer "Open Gym" for Ignite from 730-830, where Igniters can stay later and play in the gym. This is for all Igniters but was started to make it easier for Igniters to get a ride home with their older C4 siblings/neighbors. "Open Gym" is __open__ for this week __ April 2
C4 (9th-12th grade): starts at 7:00 and ends at 8:45
note: we often offer "Latenight Youth" for C4 from 9-10:30, where high schoolers can stay later and hang out in the Refuge. A chance to connect and just "be". "Latenight Youth" is __open_ for this week _April 2_.
Did you notice? Ignite & C4 are together for the 7-7:30 timeframe. We believe in the value of a connected Christian community. This overlap gives opportunity for the larger group to experience special events together, such as Worship Night, Testimony Night, Game Night & Service Nights. It's also an opportunity for our younger students to pick up the vision of what we do from the older student leaders.
this week is Youth Sunday, so we will be cooking and setting up...
back again next Sunday April 6...
the life book... BE CURIOUS... as we study Truth as it is written in the book of John.
Interact with scripture and determine what God's message to you really is!
... ask good questions, have good conversation, dive deeper into God's Word... be curious
Interested in getting baptized this year? Talk to a youth leader soon.
Plans are under way to get things ready for a Baptism in June. See Jim for more details.
Pray daily as we are planning out the steps to get there and that God will prepare our hearts for a life-changing experience. Pray too for our friends in Caledonia.
Serve God in sunny Belize!
Whether it's speaking Spanish, mixing cement, running games for VBS, dancing with preschoolers, scoring a goal off the assist from your new Belizean amigo, sharing your testimony, eating amazing Belizean food, delivering needed food to a local family, or singing in the local church service... you will have so many amazing opportunities in Belize. That's why we describe the trip as... un-Belizable!
Begin praying now for God to do a powerful work in your heart, to build our Team, and to bless Caledonia, Belize. It's going to be a Summer of "God at work"
(The Belize 2025 Mission Trip is for current 9-12th graders and for active participants in CMF Youth.)
