Ok, the suspense is probably driving you crazy.

Which team won our first ever Air Force race?

Well…(drumroll please)…

Team Watermelon & Team Da Bombers tied with 35,000 points

Team Dekroon was second with 23,000

Team MNKB was last with 18, 500 points

How should we determine the grand champions?

It’s that time again!

Last year we had a great time at Nick & Brenda Rolleman’s. This year Natalie

Rolleman is hosting (upstairs).

A few things to remember/bring:-

1. Christmas treat to share

2. A wrapped Christmas gift - we’re all on a budget so remember to ‘regift’

- find the wierdest, most unique, cheap item you want to get rid of from your

home, wrap it and bring it!

  3. We will be handing out a best (or worst, depending on how you view holiday

garb!) festive outfit.

4. There will be an egg nog drinking contest for all who want to participate.

See you there!

It’s almost that time of year again.  So, get your ugly Christmas sweater out (or go find one) and join us for pizza, munchies, games and prizes!

Just a reminder to our high school crowd that there will be no youth this Wednesday, November 11th due to Remembrance Day.  We’ll see you again next Wednesday, November 18th.

Our middle school crew will meet as usual on Tuesday in the youth room from 6:30-8:00pm.

See you there!

 Yes, it’s our….

Hi Guys

Thanks for your comments so far, it’s great to see you engaging with God in this 60/60

experiment! I can certainly empathize with how hard this can be and how it can seem a little

weird - and that’s all because we are inviting an interruption into our habit of ignoring God

all day. This is a habit that forms over years! We are having to climb uphill! As for prayer, it is

right that this is for such things as confession and supplication, but it’s also about conducting 

a relationship. We have been brought back into communion with God through Christ’s work on

our behalf (unmerited grace!) and we are invited into relationship with the Father. So as much 

as those other things, prayer is conversation with God. I would encourage you all as you press 

on with the 60/60 to see the interuption (cell phone vibration, watch beep, post-it note reminder)

as a call to ‘check in’ with God - just as you would talk with a friend, family member and so on,

so you are conversing with God throughout your day, inviting Him to be a part of it.

The concert is this Sunday night.

We’re meeting outside the east doors at 5:35pm.

We get in at 5:45pm because of Early Access!.

Doors open at 6:00pm.

Concert starts at 7:00pm.

I still have 8 tickets.

I don’t think they’ll last long, so if you want one, get me $21 quick.

Hi traverse

This is where you can share your ’soul revolution’ experiences as you learn to do life with God.

And…

Starting Tuesday, September 22nd we will have a brand new night just for those students in grades 7 & 8.  Our Middle School night will meet from 6:30-8:00pm every Tuesday.  We’re super excited and hope this will be a great thing for our Middle School students.

What about our High School group?  Same as last year: every Wednesday!

You ready for this?

Wow!  Summer’s almost over.

Let’s do a little roll call.  Give a shout out if you’re here!

Sorry all, but we didn’t get enough bodies for the Mid-Week escape that was scheduled for next Wednesday (August 19).  Sorry!  I guess everyone’s enjoying their summer a bit too much.

Stay tuned here as we’ll have some new information about some upcoming PROXIMITY events!
