Everyone who has been serving, wants to, or will be serving needs to come by the youth room during one of the two services on Sunday, October 7th! We’ll be having signups and a brief orientation. It’s open house style, so stop in whenever you can. As soon as you’ve signup you can leave!
October 14th is the first official day of Serve Sunday returning. All youth who are serving will meet in the youth room at 8:30am for a short meeting, and then be released to Serve by 9:00am. They’ll be meeting with their ministry leaders to learn more about their positions.
Serve Sunday is still relatively new, so if you have any questions or comments, don’t hesitate to leave a comment or shoot me an email!
$30 – Due with a permission form by October 17th.
This event is open to all Middle School and High School youth. Space is limited, and the event tickets may sell out quickly, so signup early! (Signup up means getting me your permission form and money). Cost is $30, which covers the price of the ticket and gas money. Youth will also need money for dinner (fast food in Salem).
These artists are incredibly talented. This might not be your (parents/youth) favorite type of music, but it will be worth the experience!
Youth group will happen while we are on the road, meaning we won’t have anything at church on this night (it’s a Wednesday).
The concert starts at 7:00pm, so it will be a late night, which is unfortunate that it lands on a school night. We rarely do events during the week, but didn’t want to miss this opportunity!

We’re heading to Devil’s Lake Campground on October 26th-27th for a quick weekend get-a-way. It may not be the “best” time to go, but we’re going to have an incredible time! We’ll be staying in tents, with boys and girls in different campsites. It will probably be cold and wet, so be prepared! If you need help with camping gear, let me know. We’ll be sharing tents (youth separate from adults, and gender separation).
Here’s an overview of our schedule for the weekend:

This is our second Night of Silence. I received so much positive feedback from our first night, that I’ve been eagerly anticipating our next! Same format as last time, a night of complete silence, allowing our youth to encounter and engage God in a different way. We’ll have stations spread around a few different rooms, each allowing a different way of worshiping and experiencing God, His Word, and His Community.
We are meeting at our normal time, 6:30-8:00pm!
Checkout our post on our first Night of Silence. One big different between this Night of Silence and the last one, is that we are using our weekly chapter from The Story as the foundation for building what each station looks like. I want to continue to challenge our youth to be engaging scripture for themselves, and this will provide them with different opportunities to do just that.
We start the night together, overviewing the stations and explaining the purpose of each one, as well as the purpose for the whole night. Each station is designed to be highly repeatable, meaning that these aren’t one-time experiences that they will never be able to have again, but rather a fresh encounter with a tool for knowing God more.
We need to have an idea of how many people are interested in participating in this class, so signup ASAP at the Welcome Center!
Parent’s, your voice, your life, your relationship with Jesus, is the LOUDEST curriculum your children will hear. Research is showing this to be true now more than ever. Sticky Faith is a 5 week class for parents (and grandparents) that will help us think critically about how we are raising our children to be life-long follower’s of Christ.
This is a DVD based curriculum that will offer practical steps towards creating a lasting faith within our families, and allow us as a church to work together. The “dropout” rate is as high as 85% for youth graduating high school, and none of us want to live out the reality of that statistic.
Let’s join together, and reinvision what it takes to foster an authentic and lasting relationship.

Right now, we’re planning on launching this 5 week series on Sunday, April 15th!. It will be offered during the first service at 9:00am. It is open to all parents within our church, wether you have toddlers, or high school aged youth.

I’ll be in Cambodia for our second session, but Nan Brooks will be leading our conversation for that day. There might be a slight chance that we postpone starting the class until I return, so make sure to subscribe to our email updates.
We’re getting together on Friday, January 27th, to celebrate the winners from our Thrivemas party! We’ll be meeting at BJ’s Restaurant from 6:00pm-8:00pm. We’ll be hanging out, eating food, and building relationships. EVERYONE is invited!
You can estimate $10-15 for a meal at BJ’s depending on what you get. Even if you don’t want to spend the money on dinner, come anyways and grab a pizzookie for a few bucks and just hand out with us!
A permission form isn’t required, just meet us at BJ’s! I’ll have plenty of seating reserved, but let me know if you plan on coming. Call me or shoot me a txt!
Synergy:
the potential ability of individuals organizations or groups to be more successful or productive as a result of joining together.
On March 25th-29th, we’re partnering with churches all over Eugene/Springfield to change our community through prayer, service, and evangelism. This will give us a change to pour into our community through intentional action by uniting the body of Christ.
Our “base camp” will be at Camp Harlow. It’s a possibility to stay there, but in a effort to keep the cost of this trip down, I’m looking into some different options for us. I’ll update this page as our planning progresses.
Registration isn’t open just yet, but I wanted to make everyone aware of the dates as soon as possible. Subscribe to our email updates to get the most current information, and to be updated about this trip.
I’ll try to have to cost and event information updated as soon as those details become available.

This is THE best weekend experience a middle schooler could have… and it’s ONLY for middle schoolers! We’ve been to Believe several times, and can’t wait to make it back! This year’s theme is THE WORD, here’s a quote:
One of the most important things we can do is to point kids to God’s Word. Daily feeding all the kids in our ministries isn’t feasible. They eventually must become people of the Word themselves. The 2012 Believe tour is going to take a full weekend to point kids to the awesome power of God’s Word.
Get more information about this year’s theme here.
This year, it’s at the Expo Center. Here’s our estimated weekend schedule:
For more information about Believe’s schedule, check it out online.
We’ll be staying at Grace Point Church in Tigard (we’ve stayed there several times). We separate guys and girls, and abide by the guidelines set up in our safety policy.
