Update 9/23

- On Monday Sept 24, I am going to Ohio Valley University to speak for a few days and then heading to the Zoe Leadership Conference in Nashville. I will be back on Oct. 5th late. So here are a few "in place of me" updates: On Sunday Sept 30; there will be a combined teen class in the morning. On Wed. Sept 26 and Wed. Oct. 3, Don (from the campus ministry) and James Lanson will be teaching the teen Wed. night class. They will be continue the series of classes that we started last week called "The Perfect Life? Sin, the Soul, and Kingdom Living". First Friday will be overseen by Dave Blackwell this month since my flight won't be getting in till 10:30 on Friday.

- Senior High Bible Class: Starting on Oct. 7, Terry Dockins will be teaching a class called "Renovation of the Heart: Putting on the Character of Christ". This is based off a Dallas Willard book but will be a great class with multiple learning experiences. I hope everyone will come and be apart.
There is a meeting about Volunteer staff for 1st Friday RIGHT AFTER CHURCH THIS SUNDAY (9/23) up front. It will be short and sweet and to the point. If you can help please be there.

- Oct. 5: 1st Friday: We had 40 teens show up last time. It was a lot of fun! Come play in the gym, play some games, have some snacks and just enjoy and hang out. 7:00-9:00PM.

- Oct. 12: Teen/Campus Connection: At the campus house. Starts at 6:30pm This will be a time for the teens and the campus ministry to get to know each other. Come for a fun night together and get to know our college students in BHC!!!!

- Oct. 20: STAND YOUR GROUND YOUTH RALLY!!!!!!!! Please see Gretchen Mahoney for a registration form ASAP. They need to be in by Oct. 10 so you wont get a late fee. Check out the website at www.syg07.com

If you are willing to house some please see Matt or sign up Sunday with Matt. The speaker from the youth rally will be speaking on Sunday morning and he is bringing some teens from his youth group.
