Crossroads Bible Church Senior High Student Ministry October 9, 2011 Announcements

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

Sunday School, 10:30—11:45AM in the Dungeon:
Brent McKinney, teacher: Communitas Unleashed (#6)
We’ll continue discussing the idea of “communitas,” a deeper view of “community.” We’ve defined community, seen how it’s developed, and who is “in” the Kingdom. This week, we’ll look at Luke 14:25-35 and the “costs” of discipleship. NOTES AVAILABLE AT CBCHIGHSCHOOL . BLOGSPOT . COM!

Change For A Buck resumes 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!

There are still a few of you who haven’t picked up your deposit check for the ski trip (we’re returning them since we didn’t have enough students sign up) so you can pick up your deposit check from Brent in Sunday School.

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.
