Weekly Update 6.6

First things first...
We had a GREAT "Promotion Sunday". Combined, our Sunday morning total for junior and senior high was 41 students. Then we had 32 students for Ignite. With some of our students on vacation and others out of town, I can already tell that this year will be awesome, and I can't wait to see us grow beyond our current state, both spiritually and numerically!

TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT
It is VBS time at BGCC. All our senior high students are invited to come and volunteer for VBS. Our junior high students will be taking part in their own special section of VBS. They will not be doing the normal "kiddy" VBS, but will instead be taking part in a new and exclusive week-long experience. They will need to wear clothes to be active in (and shoes to fit that). Tonight we will be walking around a lot, so please dress accordingly.

Thursday, June 10
Also this week, we will be traveling to Barren Heights to do a service project. We will be leaving the church by 8:00am and will return by 3:00pm. While we are there, we will be helping them do some landscaping and getting them ready for their summer camps. Barren Heights is a great place for persons with disabilities and their families. We have some members at BGCC that have attended there in the past. Please let me know if you planning on attending this trip and if you are a parent that is interested in taking students on this trip. We need more parents.

Sunday, June 13
We will be continuing our series "Life's Toughest Questions" Sunday night. We will be answering the question, "I feel like I fit in better and enjoy hanging out more with my non-Christian friends than I do the people in my youth group. Does this mean that I am disconnected from the body?" We will also be playing some games and continuing to grow together as a body. Hope to see you there!

CIY 2010
We have 16 youth leaving for CIY next Monday morning. Those students need to have their BGCC and CIY waiver, along with the remainder of their CIY payment before we leave. We are going to have a great week. Please be praying for the students, sponsors, and conference. Thanks!
