WHEN DOES SWAP HAPPEN?
SWAP Meets on Sundays and Wednesdays!
Sunday: 9AM Service (6-12 Grade)
Wednesday: 6:30-8PM (6-12 Grade)
Various Events: See events below
This week at SWAP is groups night! We will gather to worship, pray, hear testimonies and then we will break into groups and discuss the story of Noah Building the Ark! We will look at that story and apply it to our own story and come to the understanding that God is calling us to build things in our life! See you Wednesday!
NO EXPLORERS OR ROOTED THIS SUNDAY! STUDENTS ARE SERVING FOR JINGLE JAM!
If you are interested in serving at both the 9am and 10:30 service talk to Pastor Tyler or Pastor Abby!
6th-8th Graders meet in the Middle School Room in the Lower Level during 1st service. They meet, laugh, talk about Jesus, and explore and grow in their relationships, with God and each other.
Grades 9-12 meet in the SWAP Lounge during 1st service. We talk about our faith and what it means to be Rooted in Christ. Rooted is designed to be discussion based to engage everyone no matter where you at in your relationship with God. Visitors are always welcome!
Join Our Prayer Community for Middle and High School Students, Families, and Schools!
Are you a parent looking to connect with others in our Edinbrook Church community? We invite you to be part of a dedicated group of parents who gather in prayer for our middle and high school students, their families, and our local schools.
Whether you have specific prayer requests for your family or student, or simply want to join in prayer for our community, we're here to support you. Send an email to [email protected] to join our prayer group and submit your prayer requests.
Together, we'll uplift our students and families in prayer, knowing that our collective faith is a source of strength and encouragement. Join us in making a difference through the power of prayer!
Also you can submit prayer requests at the bottom of this newsletter in the resources section!

SHARE YOUR STUDENT EVENTS WITH US
We love to support our students in their activities! Whether it be a soccer game, a play, a chess tournament, or a piano recital, we LOVE having the opportunity to celebrate what our students are doing.
