Middle School Weekly Events: Jan. 9-15, 2012

Posted on January 9, 2012 by ktinney

Hi Middle School Youth!

  We are back from an absolutely amazing trip to Orlando! We were able to learn and share about God’s Kingdom while visiting the Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom in Disney! The students were able to take what they learned from our weekend devotionals and tell other what “God’s Kingdom” is about through their words, actions, and even when they were asked about their shirts! A BIG thank you to all of the chaperone that went with us! All of your were so helpful in making it a safe and fun trip for these kids.

    We are back in the swing of things this week! We will have ReFuel this Wednesday and our first CrossRoads of the new year this Sunday! I hope to see all of our youth there (and some new ones too)! I have missed them greatly! We will be talking about being a New Creation in Christ this New Year!

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!” 2 Corinthians 5:17

   This week we will meet in the South Campus Sanctuary because we are opening our usual space to the Created By God bunch! Please check out our weekly events calendar attached to your weekly email (or click here: Middle School Youth Events January 9-15, 2012 )! I have put in some upcoming dates for you to mark on your calendars!

   Registration for Spring Confirmation has begun! Parent Orientation meeting will be held on February 19th @1:30 in the South Campus Sanctuary. Sessions will begin on February 26th. You can find the Spring Confirmation registration form and calendar attached to your weekly email on this website under the forms section (or click here: Confirmation Registration Form Spring 2012  and Spring Confirmation 2012 Schedule) and at all the information stations at each campus!

   Hope all of you have begun a very happy New Year! Looking forward to another year of serving God and serving in this ministry with you!

In Him,

 Kimmie

HS Christmas Party THIS Sunday

Posted on December 14, 2011 by cmoss

Merry Christmas!

The HS youth will have their annual Christmas Party and Progressive Dinner this Sunday, December 18th. We will meet in the South Campus Sanctuary (Youth Sanctuary) at 5pm to kick off the progressive dinner. We will then travel to the Johnson’s home for appetizers. Our second stop will be the Hickory Springs Clubhouses for dinner and then the Mercer’s House for Dessert and Gift Exchange (see schedule below).

If you be willing to help provide an appetizer or dessert for the home stops we ask that the girls bring a desserts and guys bring an appetizer (chips, dip, salsa, cheese, pigs-in-a-blanket, etc…).

The students will also have a “White Elephant” gift exchange. This is something inexpensive and fun to give. This may be an item already used from the home or something purchased under… $10. The gift should be wrapped (or bagged) with no name on it. We will do the gift exchange at the dessert house.

We will then return to the Youth Center by 8pm. I hope you are able to attend.

Thank you!

In HIS service,
Chris Moss
