As soon as school lets out, it’s time to hit the water for some fun with the Youth Group at Pin Oak Lake! You’ll be able to ride the tube, learn to water ski, wakeboard, and surf, and do plenty of other fun stuff. And of course, there will be plenty of time just to relax and swim! But not only is this going to be a time of fun and fellowship, it is also going to be a time for spiritual retreat, as we’ll be joining together for worship & Bible Study throughout the weekend. Invite a friend!

One of my favorite events each year has been our annual trip to the Touched by an Angel Ministry Center in Tupelo, MS. Well, the time has come for another trip to TBAA! We’ll be heading down to Tupelo for a great weekend of sharing God’s love with some very special people at the end of February 2012. Here’s the details…
February 24-26, 2012 – Tupelo, MS
Cost – $80 ($25 deposit due Feb. 1; Balance due Feb. 19)
Who can come – Any teen from 7th thru 12th grade
What is TBAA? - A camp for special needs individuals in Tupelo, MS. Our youth who attend serve as caretakers for these special campers. This trip has easily become one of our favorites for our students, as it is a great ministry opportunity to get to work with these special needs individuals, and we always come back with plenty of great memories of the fun that we have while sharing Christ’s love. Once you go once, you’ll want to go back again and again.
Parent/Student Meeting – Sunday, Feb. 19 @ 5pm in the gym.

If you want to get deeper into God’s Word and have a better understanding how to study God’s Word on your own, then this is the night for you.

There’s not much that gets me more excited than seeing teenagers doing ministry themselves. That’s the whole purpose of Student Ministry – students doing ministry, reaching out to each other! And this Wednesday, that’s exactly what’s taking place.
Our adults are stepping aside and our students are leading us in worship. Everything from the games to the music to the preaching is going to be led by our students. Drew Webb, one of our seniors, is bringing the message for the night.
So students, invite a friend and come worship with us!
For HIS Glory!
Jeff
