Weekend Announcements

Crossroads Bible Church Senior High Student Ministry August 21, 2011 Announcements

In CBC’s Main Service Today:
Want to hear first-hand how the mission trips from CBC’s Impact 2011 went? This summer’s trips to Arizona, Ireland, Poland & Africa will be featured, as well as a preview of the upcoming trip to Haiti!

Sunday School, 10:30—11:45AM in the Dungeon:
Brent McKinney, teaching on Vision, Week #2.
We’ll be discussing the idea of a “worthy walk” from Ephesians 4 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.

In-home small groups KICK OFF MEETING @ CBC!
Wednesday Night, August 24, 7:00—8:30PM in the Dungeon.
Bring your Bible, and we’ll be discussing the nature of small groups and how our leaders will be serving you this year as well as how we see you sharpening each other. Hopefully, we’ll get to spend some time in prayer together, too!
…we’ll begin in area homes on August 31. We’ll be announcing locations next Sunday on these announcements.

CBC’s YEAR OF GONZO STUDENT ART UPDATE:
If you have July’s project, “Truth Telling”—and didn’t turn it in, we got a little behind on putting them up in the gallery, so you can still turn one in by today. We will have them up soon!
August’s project: Newspaper Black-Out.
Simply take a sheet of newsprint, black out all the words and/or pictures you don’t think are needed and create a work of poetry/art for display. You can go to Google the phrase “newspaper blackout” poetry for ideas & examples.
These projects are due on August 28 (NEXT WEEK)!

Water Is Basic: NEXT Sunday, August 28, we’ll be taking up our offering 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.
(Over, please)
SENIOR MEETING: SUNDAY, 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!

Anyone can get the announcements on our Blogspot. Simply type in “cbchighschool . blogspot. com.” Maybe “favorite” that page, huh?
Parents & students: If you aren’t friends with Brent on Facebook you’ll want to do that ASAP—if you are, you should be getting these announcements in your message box every Thursday. And, you can follow BrentMcKinney on Twitter).
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!
