Announcements for Oct. 16

Crossroads Bible Church Senior High Student Ministry October 16, 2011 Announcements

Sunday School, 10:30—11:45AM in the Dungeon:
Brent McKinney, teacher: Communitas Unleashed (#7)
We’ll continue discussing the idea of “communitas,” a deeper view of “community.” This week, we’ll look at Luke 15 and the idea of sinners returning to God.
NOTES AVAILABLE AT CBCHIGHSCHOOL . BLOGSPOT . COM!
*Don’t forget to stop by the “Hoots ‘N Salutes” table BEFORE CLASS starts!*
NEXT SUNDAY, OCT. 23: Morning of Experiential Worship, led by Grayson Schweers & Cheri Hudspith.
Also, as part of that, we will be having our monthly opportunity to give to Water is Basic to help get a clean-water well in Africa to a village that needs it. Suggested donation is $10/person to have it by Christmas of this year!

Change For A Buck continues today in Sunday School!
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:
October’s project continues today: 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!
You can still turn in Book/DVD Spine Poetry (where you take a book or DVD spine 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), blackout art, or truth-telling from the last 3 months!

The next baptism service is scheduled for Sunday, October 30. If you’re interested in being baptized, contact Brent@crossroadsbible.org or Charlie.Ridenour@crossroadsbible.org to set up an interview.

Ministry to Johan in Columbia: If you’d like to write a letter to him, please print or type, and turn it in to Brent by Sunday!

To make sure you’re in the informational loop: If you aren’t getting text updates from Elli, see her after class to give her your name and number!
