Announcements for Sept 25

Crossroads Bible Church Senior High Student Ministry September 25, 2011 Announcements

Today is “Water Is Basic” Sunday. We’re trying to raise money for a clean water well in Africa through this organization, and the suggested donation each month is $10 per person in class & we can finish before Christmas!

*Don’t forget to stop by the “Hoots ‘N Salutes” table BEFORE CLASS starts!*

Senior Lunch at Brent’s house TODAY at 1:15PM.

Sunday School, 10:30—11:45AM in the Dungeon:
Brent McKinney, teacher: Communitas Unleashed (#4)
We’ll continue discussing the idea of “communitas,” a deeper view of “community.” We’ve seen the starting point and first steps, and now we’ll look at the nature of this deep community, the personalities involved and today we’ll look at the proper motivation from Matthew 5--7. NOTES AVAILABLE AT CBCHIGHSCHOOL . BLOGSPOT . COM!

Change For A Buck resumes next week!
We’re taking up an offering of your loose change each Sunday during worship…and once we spend a few weeks building up the reserves, YOU will start our new ministry of fostering “change” with the money. You will look for ways you can affect change in someone else’s life or circumstances, apply for the money and use the offerings to do that very ministry!

CBC’s YEAR OF GONZO STUDENT ART UPDATE:
September’s Project, Book Spine/DVD Spine Poetry, DUE TODAY!!!
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 (print it on 8.5x11). You can use masking/painter’s tape to eliminate unnecessary words/author’s names, etc. if need be. You can still turn in July’s “Truth Telling” and August’s “Black Out” art if you still want to do those, too!
October’s project begins next week: Random Acts of Kindness Index Cards
Simply get 5 index cards, and design them in a way that creatively encourages a complete stranger. Take a photo of each card you design when you place it to be discovered (like under someone at the mall’s wiper blade, or about to be placed in a random locker vent, or at a bookstore about to be placed in a book. Print your favorite photos on 8.5x11 and turn them in by Sunday, October 30!
