Announcements for Sunday, November 6

Crossroads Bible Church Senior High Student Ministry November 6, 2011 Announcements

Sunday School, 10:30—11:45AM in the Dungeon:
Communitas, Week #9: Matthew 13: 1-17.
Brent McKinney, Pastor of Student Ministries, teaching.
This morning, we’re resuming our study of “Communitas,” a deeper form of community. We’ve defined communitas, and we’ve seen how Christ taught the disciples about how the Kingdom unifies us, and now we’ll be in the 2nd lesson about how their experiences together caused a greater bond between them.

Don’t forget to fill out your “Hoots N Salutes” before class!

Change for a Buck: We’ll be sending $55 to Laura Poe for her mission trip to Haiti over Christmas Break. So, we’ll be starting over with our collection this week. Don’t forget that each week we take up a “loose change” offering for a ministry opportunity that YOU bring to us. So, take a look around at your world and see if there’s any ministry need you can meet in the $50-$75 range (right now…but growing each week). If you have one, contact Brent for more info.

In-home small groups meet this week!
CHANGE FOR THIS WEEK (11/9) ONLY: ALL GUYS MEET AT CBC NO LATER THAN 7PM to ride to WhirlyBall! We should return to the CBC lot by 10:15PM. Bring $10/person.

October’s project: Random Acts of Kindness Index Cards can still be turned in for two weeks. The description of that is as follows:
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!
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!
