Announcements for Sept. 4

Crossroads Bible Church Senior High Student Ministry September 4, 2011 Announcements

Sunday School, 10:30—11:45AM in the Dungeon:
Brent McKinney, teaching: Start of new series today!
We’ll be discussing the idea of “communitas,” a deeper view of “community.” The starting point of this can be traced to 1 Corinthians 15. We’ll spend the first week taking a look at how a deep community starts.
NOTES AVAILABLE ON AT CBCHIGHSCHOOL . BLOGSPOT . COM!

Change For A Buck Starts Today!
We’ll be taking up an offering of your loose change each Sunday during worship…and once we spend a few weeks building up the reserves, we’ll start our new ministry of fostering “change” with the money. Our hope is that students will look for ways they can affect change in someone else’s life or circumstances, apply for the money and use the offerings to do that very ministry! Hopefully, this will start each of us thinking about ways we could minister to needs we come in contact with daily…so come prepared to Sunday School this week.

CBC’s YEAR OF GONZO STUDENT ART UPDATE:
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.
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: Random Acts of Kindness Index Cards (explanation once we get past the September project)

See You At The Pole, September 28. Check your local school campus for details.



To make sure you’re in the informational loop:
Parents, send an e-mail to Brent@Crossroadsbible.org and ask to be added to the e-mail list (please include the gender and year of graduation of your students).
Anyone can get the announcements on our Blogspot. Simply type in “cbchighschool . blogspot. com.” Maybe “favorite” that page, huh? 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!

*Don’t forget to pray for Johan in Columbia and Guerson in Haiti. We’ll be getting a new student to replace Kerlande (who “graduated”) this week, too!
