We’re having a Pre-Camp Meeting Sunday, June 18 after Big Church.

It is for Parents AND Youth.

If you cannot attend, please see Matt for the info.

It’s day 2 of the Big Summer Bribe. Have you done your Devo Today?

If you don’t know what to do, you can check out the one from Josh McDowell using the “Daily Youth Devotional” link to the right. If that doesn’t fill your 15 minutes, you can read some more scripture, pray, sing some songs to God, or even write a song for Him.

I prayed, read some scripture, and read chapter 3 of John Piper’s book, “When I Don’t Desire God: How to fight for Joy.”

Mere Christianity on June 13 has been Rescheduled to June 6!

Here are the current most accurate dates:
June 6
June 27
July 11
August 8

It’s going to be right after Big Church at Brian and Julie’s house. Food, Fun, and Clive Staples Lewis. What a day!

Did you know that Jesus rose on Easter, but he didn’t ascend into heaven for 40 more days? He was hanging out with the apostles and showing himself to many other people. In 1 Corinthians 15:1-11, Paul says that Jesus appeared to 500 people at one time! Most of those people were still alive when he wrote to the Corinthians. Close to 500 corroborating Eye Witnesses to the resurrection of Jesus. That’s amazing! You can’t get 500 witnesses to testify in court for anything nowadays!

He ascended into heaven 40 days after Easter as it says in Acts 1:1-26. Ascension Day this year is Thursday May 13. We’ll be celebrating with a feast the day before – Wednesday, May 12!

Let us know by  Sunday, May 9 if you’re coming and how many slices of pizza you want. It won’t cost you anything if you let us (Matt & Rachel) know by Sunday.

Fill out the poll and let us know what type of pizza you want!

Well, the site upgrade is complete, but the content isn’t all here yet. I’ll work on that.

The cool thing here is that you guys can comment on things and interact on here about whatever we’re talking about. I’m going to be copying some of the Bible Study information from the old site to this new one.

If you (for some odd reason) want to go to the old site, you can always get to it by clicking here.

Well, I’m still working on the new site. I’ll get it up and running soon.
