Holiday Schedule 2016

The holiday season can be hectic, busy, and downright crazy. There are a few weeks that will look a little different for our Sunday night programming that we wanted you to be aware of....
Keep ReadingAugust 15, we will be starting back up with Sunday Nights. It will look a little different than what it used to but I am excited for moving forward with Sunday Nights again. It will be 6-8pm. If it is a holiday weekend or there is an event that evening then we will not be having our normally scheduled Youth Group as the youth will be encouraged to attend the event.
Sunday Night has been traditionally for 6th-12th grade in our church but we have decided to extend that down to 5th grade for now. We are testing this out and may end up going back to before but felt this could help with the transition from children to student ministry. 5th grade will still be in the children's area on Sunday morning.
Sunday Night will be more on relationship building through various fun activities and a devotion. 3-4 times are a year we will do a service project on Sunday night (i.e. clean up an elderly persons yard, pick up trash at a park, put together homeless bags for a downtown ministry, and so on) these times parents will be encouraged to come along with their teens to serve too. Modeling your faith is important not just when they are children but as teens as well. I want this ministry to focus on the whole family as often as possible.

Keep ReadingWhen we read the Gospel accounts of Jesus’ birth, we typically flip right past the family trees without thinking twice. What if we took a deeper look? What if we looked at those names as people who had a purpose, people with a role to play in God’s story or redemption? This Sunday night, that's exactly what we're going to do!...
Keep ReadingThis Sunday night, November 20, we'll be joining together with our family and friends to give thanks for all God has provided. We'll meet at Wildwood Middle School at 5:00pm. All of our students, families, and friends are invited. We're so excited to gather with you to celebrate what the Lord is doing among us....
Keep ReadingI don’t know about you, but there have been plenty of times I’ve felt unprepared in my life. High school, adulthood, parenthood, working life, and any number of other things have made me feel this way. Sometimes I feel less unprepared, and more unqualified. Like I don’t have the right to be doing something. Still other times I feel like I’ve done something to disqu...
Keep ReadingHave you ever been to Disneyland? Did you go through the It’s a Small World ride? Even if you’ve never been,I bet you have that song stuck in your head now (sorry about that). The song is so simple, and so profound. You could probably count, pretty easily, a handful of times that your path has crossed someone else’s in an interesting way, and you had to admit to your...
Keep ReadingJoin us this Sunday night, September 14 as we unpack what Jesus said about himself, and what his followers said, too. We’ll take a look at what we say about Jesus, and how that changes everything....
Keep ReadingThis weekend, we'll watch how the Apostles decide what to do, and how to pursue Jesus (even to their deaths). They were left with a choice to make, and we're left with a choice, as well. We must ask ourselves: "Now what?" Now that we've come face-to-face with the message and love of Jesus, we have to decide if it's going to impact our lives, or if we'll treat it like it's ...
Keep ReadingOn Sunday night, September 18, we're embarking on a new series, titled Give Hope. We're walking through this series with our whole church family, adults, and small groups. The series examines a bunch of stories from the book of Acts....
Keep ReadingIf we've all got a deep sense of this cosmic justice, how do we view the last days of Jesus' life? He was betrayed, tried, and convicted of a crime overnight. How could that possibly have been just? Especially if he really was this rescuer that had been promised for so long. We've been plugging away at our Promises series all summer long! We've been following the story ...
Keep ReadingThe question that we've been pondering for quite some time: "Who is Jesus?" Whether we like it or not, how we answer this one question will touch every area of our lives. This question can be trickier to answer, than it might seem. It's hard to make a decision about someone who lived so long ago. The truth is you don’t have to have all the answers, before you step out in...
