Keep inviting your friends to our youth services and events. God is changing this community one youth at a time! Love Yall, Pastor Dustin

noreply@blogger.com (Pastor Dustin) — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 23:06:00 +0000

Consumed- Just wanted to share something that has been on my heart with yall. God has an awesome plan for this youth ministry. We are growing and God is sending us new people to minister to every week. Remember that as we grow the enemy will try and bring fear and doubt into our lives. This is his way of getting our eyes off of God and bring us down. I want to encourage each of you to seek Him in a deeper way. Pray, read the word and spend time with God. Remember that you are a chosen generation that God is raising up to take this world for Him and NOTHING can stop you. "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of POWER, and of LOVE, and a SOUND MIND " 2 Timothy 1:7. Love you all, Pastor Dustin

Camp!

noreply@blogger.com (Pastors Clint & Liz Knowles) — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 21:08:00 +0000

So much stuff going on I can't contain myself to even calm down long enough to write it! I keep hearing from Wynn and Janae about how awesome Collegiate Camp was. Mitch, Zach, Taylor, Ashton, Amanda, Halie (Cabin Leader), Josh & Karen (Team Comp) and I think I'm missing someone? Were with us at Senior Camp, and well, it was really good to. it was so good to "hang out" with them as well as watch how God transformed there lives through the week. Pastor Clint's message on Thusday night was incredible......I know I alot of kids were touched and changed by such a relatable word. If you have any "posts" for the blog about camp, email me and I will post them!

Sofball Tournament Update

noreply@blogger.com (Pastors Clint & Liz Knowles) — Fri, 30 May 2008 03:54:00 +0000

Josh and I had a staff meeting tonight on the phone. It seems that there is another co-ed soft ball tournament taking place this Saturday and is preventing us from getting enough teams. :( So we put our heads toether, we are tentatively rescheduling for July 19th, we believe this date will work better. Next Wednesday you will want to sign up to help with concession stand and field clean up.

Also, we scheduled a BBQ sale for June 17th, 4-7pm. We will be giving you tickets soon to sell!

Soooooooo.....we are gonna meet Saturday Morning for a Car Wash! YAY!!!! I love car washes...I will post the details as to our location tomarrow!
