Hello and welcome to the busiest month in student ministry! I know that you as parents are also feeling the exhaustion and pressure that a full schedule brings and we as a ministry are praying for you all during this busy season. Here is what we have going on in Bridge Students this month:
First Wednesday
First Wednesday is May 3! The theme is America Night and we will be having free tacos! Something that we have been doing this semester so far is Class Clash. Class Clash is a competition between each grade at Bridge Students and every First Wednesday, each grade has an opportunity to win points for their grade. They win points by bringing a friend (each friend they bring = 1 point), dressing the theme, and winning the game. Whichever grade earns the most points by the end of the semester will win $20 off their total bill for Summer Camp. For example, if the Junior class wins every Junior going to camp will get $20 off their bill for camp. This will be the last week that students will be able to earn points for their class!
Teaching
This Wednesday will be the last week of normal programming for the month. We will be wrapping up our series through the Book of Acts this week by talking about baptism!
Events
Like I said earlier, this month will be packed! Here is what is coming up:
- Baccalaureate: Wednesday, May 10 we will meet at the Lighthouse at normal time and then at 6:30 we will drive the students over to Fairview Christian Church so that they can be a part of celebrating our seniors one last time as we all worship together! We will get back a little later but will try to be back to the Lighthouse at 8:30.
- Senior Sunday: We will be celebrating our seniors on Sunday, May 14! The Student Worship Team will be leading worship at all services and Caden Champagne will be preaching! We will also have a slideshow fr our seniors. If you have a student graduation this year, please be sure to email me picture for the slideshow!
- Drive-In Movie Night: Wednesday, May 17 will be an all-church event at the Route 66 Drive-In. This will be a great event for all families and kids. The event is free and there will be concessions available for purchase. They will be showing the new Super Mario Brothers movie.
- Move Up Day: Move up day is when our current 6th graders move up to Student Ministry and when our current 8th graders officially move into high school. We will celebrate this with a special event for current 6th-8th graders. It will be the 6th graders first Student Ministry event and the 8th graders last event as Junior Highers! This event will be on Wednesday May 24 from 6:15-7:45 at the Lighthouse.
Summer Camp Reminder
Summer camps are quickly approaching! For our Junior High students we will be going to Sunset Bible Camp in Mannford, OK (just southwest of Tulsa). The dates for this camp are June 11-16. Our High School students will be going to CIY MOVE at Lee University in Cleveland, TN. The dates for this camp will be July 10-14. Registration for both camps are open and you can sign up at the links below:
Orange Sunday month has wrapped up and we were able to raise $8,600!!! This means that Junior High Camp will only cost $65 and High School Camp will cost $225.
We have a lot of exciting stuff coming up the next couple of months and we want you and your students to be a part of it! Below is a calendar with dates and events through the month of August, make sure you mark them on your calendars! As always, feel free to reach out with any questions or comments that you may have. Thank you for allowing us to play a part in your students’ faith.
