Sept 16 - 22

We kicked off night one of Intersect bible study this fall and it was awesome! We played 9-square and ended with an elimination tournament which had Brook Fowler as the champion! Then we headed inside to talk about Habits. Week one was about David, and how he fell into the habit of abusing his power but more than that, being blinded by his own selfishness and desires. We were all challenged to not fall in that trap. It was a fun night that was highlighted at the end by one of our breakout groups rapping one of the verses!!! Next week we will jump back into habits as we talk about Jonah and the habit of saying 'no'.

We are almost to our day at Carowinds! If you want to go please sign up and have paid the $45 cost by Friday, Septemeber 20. This will allow us time to purchase all the tickets, work out transportation, and ensure we have enough adults going.

September 29th is Fun on the Fifth where the focus is on study and worship inter-generationally. On this fifth Sunday we look to find 8-12 students who are willing to be ushers for the combined worship service. Students are asked to welcome people, hand out bulletins, and take the offering. All students are welcome and encouraged to participate. Please contact [email protected] to sign up.

Nothing with the youth ministry happens without the help of leaders and volunteers. Parents and other adults, we can use your help for our upcoming activities.

Carowinds we are looking for some adults who would enjoy spending the day at an amusement park, riding rides, hanging out, and spending the day with the youth.

Square Dance we are looking for some adults who would enjoy dancing alongside the students, encouraging them to participate, and simply having a good time.

Fall Retreat we are looking for some adults to spend the weekend with us up at Ridgecrest for our yearly fall retreat. We are looking for adults who are adventurous, like playing games, would be willing to be small group leaders, and who would enjoy spending their weekend with some teenagers.

Basketball Coaches we are looking for some adults who would be interested in coaching one of our basketball teams. The commitment would be Thursday evening practices and Saturday games.

Sunday evening snack dinners for around 20 students on nights of KidNection practice. We all get hangry and no one has time for that! We want to provide a little something for students who are at church during dinner time with someone that will hold them over.

If you are interested in any of these areas please let Dane know at [email protected]

October and the fall weather are around the corner, even if we can't see it yet. Soon it will be time to dust off your dancing shoes and get ready for another great night! Mark your calendar and look for the sign up info coming soon for the Square Dance.

Fall Retreat is November 8-10 at Ridgecrest Retreat Center. We are excited to visit another great retreat location and look out on the landscape, connect together, engage in meaningful conversations, and have lots of fun! We hope you will make this weekend part of your fall. It will be a trip that will impact you for months to come.
