Please Pray!!!

Over the next few weeks the student ministry has many important ministries setup that we would like for everyone to be praying about:

MS Retreat at Camp Livingstone (Oct. 23-24)
Pray for safety, fun, and open hearts to God's awesome message of love

Fall Festival at YMCA (oct. 25 from 5-7 pm at the Cleveland YMCA)

pray that it will be more than just a fun event for our church, but that it would truely be a ministry in our community

HS Leadership Retreat at new Frontiers (Nov. 6-7)

Pray for safety, fun, and grasp of God's desire for true leadership and how our HS students can continue to do it.



Looking forward to telling everyone how things went,

Camp 2009 (June 28 - July 2)

Camp is approaching quickly and thanks to the 50+ students who registered early for this year's camp.
Details:
Crossroads Camp is at Fort Bluff Camp in Dayton, Tn (www.fbc-naca.org). This year's camp theme is two-fold: Morning study is S2AD (Spiritual 2 A Days) with Tony Eubanks, Chaplain for Clemson University; Nightly Worship studying "The World's Perceptions are not God's Reality" with David Allen, very funny illusionist. In the middle of the two studies put crazy group games, The Blob, Shaving Cream Fight, Putt-Putt, Fishing, Triathlon Competition, Ropes Courses, Dodegball, Water slide, etc... and you have a glimpse of this year's camp. Needless to say you do not want to miss it.

Cost:$250 per person

So for more info or if you have a question please contact us at (423) 728-5050

Twitter Tweets

The student ministry is now officialy twitters! I actually do not know what that means, but it sure sounds good. This will be a great to get info out to all students/adults through messages on twitter. In fact after you register your account you can have all the messages sent directly to your cell phone via text; PRETTY COOL! The student ministry will not send multiple messages everyday, but will use twitter for major announcements or plans (ex. registration deadlines, lunch plans during the summer, summer hangout locations, etc...). So go to
