Announcements for August 28

Crossroads Bible Church Senior High Student Ministry August 28, 2011 Announcements

Sunday School, 10:30—11:45AM in the Dungeon:
Brent McKinney, teaching on Vision, Week #3.
We’ll be discussing the idea of “Spirit-led Living” from Galatians 5—6:10 and how it relates to the idea of “community.” This is part of our series on the direction the CBC student ministry is heading, and our thoughts about where & how you fit within the “bigger picture of ministry” using your gifts, talents & opportunities.

SENIOR MEETING: TODAY (AUG. 28), at Brent’s house. 1:00-2:00PM. RSVP to the CBC senior Facebook page to let Brent know you’re coming or not by Friday, Aug. 26 so we can order food!

Water Is Basic: TODAY, August 28, we’ll be taking up our offering during the Sunday School class to get a village in Africa a clean-water well. We’ll be combining those donations to the $1,516 we raised in a few months last year…we’re hoping to complete the remaining cost of the well (a little under $2,000) as soon as possible. If you’re writing a check, simply make it out to CBC.

CBC’s YEAR OF GONZO STUDENT ART UPDATE:
August’s project: Newspaper Black-Out is DUE TODAY. Turn it in the Brent in Sunday School.
September’s Project: Book Spine/DVD Spine Poetry.
Take a book or DVD and stack them up in such a way that the titles create a poem. Then take a photograph of that poem and turn it in by Sunday, September 25. You can use masking/painter’s tape to eliminate unnecessary words/author’s names, etc. if need be.
October’s project: Random Acts of Kindness Index Cards (explanation once we get past the September project)

Anyone can get the announcements on our Blogspot. Simply type in “cbchighschool . blogspot. com.” Maybe “favorite” that page, huh?

For students only, if you aren’t getting text updates from Elli (she sent out a test text a few weeks ago so if you didn’t get it, you aren’t on it) you’ll want to send her your name and number!
We do have some changes we’ll be making for the Fall that will help us get the word out as efficiently as possible, so watch this space for updates!
