Sunday Funday!

Hello, everyone!
Hopefully you all know about the disaster that has come upon Tuscaloosa, Birmingham, and Cullman, AL. Please be praying for all who are affected by the tornadoes, and please be open to whatever way God may want you to help out your community!

Despite this tragedy, we are STILL having Sunday Funday at the quad. Bring $5 for lunch (we are stopping at Hungry Howie's on the strip) and any outdoor games you want (Frisbee, wiffle-ball, football, horseshoes, etc)! We are really looking forward to this Sunday! We hope you all can make it; bring your friends!
:)


UPDATE: There will be NO Sunday Funday tomorrow after church due to the extreme circumstances in Tuscaloosa right now. Instead, please get plugged in with a group (will be announced at church tomorrow morning) and help serve tornado victims!

WAY Bible Study

Hey, WAY! Tonight's Bible study is at Capstone Church, 6pm- 7:30pm.
Be there!

We'll be practicing something we've been talking about for a few weeks now- confessing our sins and praying for one another. It may be uncomfortable for a little while, but we are taking Christ up on his promise. We believe that this will grow us together, as well as personally in God.

We hope to see you tonight!

Purity Retreat: 2011

Up and coming is our Purity Retreat, May 13-15! The sessions will be lead by Jennifer and Durell Young, and they will be using Passport 2 Purity as their guide.
This is what Mrs. Jennifer says about Passport 2 Purity, which she and Mr. Durell both have been speaking on for years:

"We believe that the material covered is truly significant. We believe most pivotal life choices are made between the ages of 11 and 16. We want to be proactive in helping your preteen and/or teen decide in advance about the traps of adolescence. If we don't . . . the culture will. If you have any questions or want to see more in detail what we will be discussing, please let me know. "

BONUS: ALL the money goes to charity! what a giving little soul Chase is. ;)

Hope you can make it TONIGHT at 6 in the Pour cafe! Bring a friend and BRING YOUR MONEY!

Ice Skating!!

Hello W.A.Y.!! Guess what...

WE'RE GOING ICE SKATING!

yep. Here are the details:



WHAT/WHEN:

-We'll be leaving the church right after morning service on Sunday, January 9, and drive to Birmingham to eat at Superior Grill (Mexican rest.).
-After lunch, if we have time to kill before ice skating, we will go to the Galleria Mall. No money is required for this, as it won't be a shopping trip, LADIES! ;)
-After the tentative mall trip, we will head over to Pelham Civic Complex to ice skate from 4-6pm.
We will leave Pelham at 6:15pm, and arrive back at the church at 7:30pm.



HOW:

-Parents will be driving their own vehicles. Until we know how many people are committed to going, we don't know how many vehicles will be needed. If you are a parent and want to volunteer you time and vehicle, let us know!



COST:

-We suggest you bring a minimum of $10 for lunch at Superior Grill.
-You may bring money for the mall, but it isn't a shopping trip and is only tentative at that. :)
-Depending on how many people come ice skating, the cost for skating and renting skates will range from $8-$9.
If we have 20 or more people come, it will be $8, including skate rental.
If we have less than 20 people, it will be $7 with an additional $2 for skate rental.
- It can also be noted that their are snack and drink machines at the Pelham Civic Complex and additional money may be brought for that, but it is NOT necessary.



Grand Total:
$20-25 per youth


This is definitely a friend- friendly trip, so invite people you know!! We hope to have 20 or more people come, not including parents! :)



If you have any questions, contact us!

happy new year everyone!!

our prayer for this year is that as a youth group we will grow closer together and stronger in our faith and become mighty young men and women of God!

We love you all!
