Parents, this is a great way to stay informed in what we are doing in the MS Ministry at Central. Listen to what we’re teaching, ask your students questions, engage them in their spiritual journey.
It is finally here! We have spent months preparing and praying for this coming weekend, students and parents have devoted resources to making this a priority, and it has finally arrived. This Friday night, our Middle School students will head out to Messiah’s Ranch for our first ever Middle School Retreat.
You can get all the details (when to drop off/pick up, what we will be doing, etc.) by clicking here.
Parents: Make sure you sign your student up for the Middle School Retreat on October 16-17. I believe that this weekend has the potential to be a spiritual mile marker in the life of your student. Make it a priority in your schedule. Sammy Nuckolls (sammyn.com) is going to be our speaker and will challenge students to live out their faith in their everyday life.
You can sign your student up until October 14. Registration envelopes can be found on the youth table, in the church office, or at any MS event.
You do not have to be in church very long to hear about The Ten Commandments. Matter of fact, you really do not ever even need to go to a church. The Ten Commandments are one of those things people just know. And though people KNOW about them, there are still a lot of questions surrounding these 10 statements.
So for the next 6 weeks, we are going to devote our Wednesday Nights to talking about the Ten Commandments and how rules that were written thousands of years ago still apply to our lives today.
Join us this Wednesday, September 2 at 6:00 to get your questions answered.
For the first time ever, we are having a Middle School ONLY Retreat! On October 16-17, Middle School students will have the opportunity to get away from their normal routine and gather together for a weekend full of fun activities and worship. Our theme this year is “Shift”. We are going to challenge students to “shift” their lives. In a culture where half-heartedness is accepted and promoted, we want students to break the mold and live a life that is sold out for Jesus.
Sammy Nuckolls will be speaking and Kurt Bost will be leading worship. The cost of the retreat is $50, but if you register by Sept. 27 you get a $10 discount. For more information contact Mike.
Tomorrow (8/8) we will have a leadership meeting for any Middle School student who wants to participate in a Student Leadership Team. We will meet from 10:00-11:00 in the Middle School room and go over what it means to be on a Leadership Team. Students will select which team they prefer and get more information about that team.
You can download the requirements to be on a Student Leadership Team by clicking here. These forms will need to be signed by the student and parent and turned back in by August 23.
One of the most encouraging parts of ministry is seeing students get involved with serving others. We try to provide different opportunities throughout the year to push students towards serving others and one of those opportunities is being involved in Leadership teams. This upcoming school year, our Middle School Leadership teams (formerly ministry teams) are changing.
We will have a meeting on August 8 to discuss what these teams will look like and give students an opportunity to get involved. If you or your student is interested in being on a Leadership Team, then make plans to attend this meeting. If you are absolutely unable to attend, please let Mike know.
Wired 2009 is right around the corner! This year we will be taking over 160 students and leaders from Central and partner with 6 other churches to provide a fun, exciting, and spiritually challenging week.
Our advance team leaves tomorrow after Sunday School to get everything ready and prepared for the students.
Students will need to meet up at church by 8:30 Monday morning. We will leave promptly at 9:00.
Join the youth staff for lunch this Wednesday, June 17, at 11:30. We are going to be at Raising Cane’s throwing down some chicken fingers.
First MS student to give me three “high fives” will get a free lunch!
Summer Madhouse starts this Wednesday, June 3! This summer we are going to be going through the book “The Seven Checkpoints” by Andy Stanley. This is an awesome book that covers 7 principles that can help shape your spiritual walk. Students will be put into small groups to discuss the things that they have learned throughout the week, as well as, ways they can draw closer to God. We will meet at 6:00 in “The Box.”
Students can purchase the book on Wednesday for $15.
