Just a reminder that we will be having our fall retreat in less than two weeks! If you are not attending the retreat, we will be having a combine BFC that day with both Junior and Senior High students during the 9:45 hour.


Prayer Request
We want to lift up Isaac Baker in prayer. Isaac had a bicycle wreck and did major damage to his knee. They are awaiting word on whether surgery is needed to repair it. He is in a lot of pain, so prayers would be appreciated. 


Have a great week.

Weekly Update 11/2-11/8

Verse of the Week: Genesis 1:26, 27
Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness..." So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.


Wednesday, November 4
This Wednesday we will watch the final movie for our Fall 2009 series, "Faith N' Flicks."  We will be watching the movie Amazing Grace. The movie is just under two hours long, so we will need to start the movie at 5:30. We will then discuss the movie over the next two weeks. Our Wednesday night programming will conclude on November 18


Sunday, November 8
We had a successful launch of three new series last Sunday. We are looking at the book of Esther in our BFC classes with "God's Beauty Queen" (Senior High) and "Anonymous" (Junior High). We examined Esther 1:1-2:18. Last night we launched a spinoff from our Masquerade series entitled "Mirrors". We focused on Genesis 1:26, how we are made perfectly in the image of God.
Next week we will continue these series, and we hope that you will join us. As always, if you miss a Sunday/Wednesday, you can find the outline of the lessons, discussions, and devotions on our blog (www.movementbgcc.blogspot.com)


Also, for those who have been keeping up with the Bible reading plan, please bring a piece of paper, signed by a parent, indicating that you have kept up with the reading. If you present this paper to Jared this Sunday, you will get rewarded for your hard work!


Sunday, November 22
This Sunday will be the Sunday that we are coming back from our Fall Retreat. For those who are not going on the trip, we will be having a combined BFC that day during the 9:45 hour. The Bakers will lead the BFC.


Saturday, December 12
BGCC will be hosting the Project PG Angel Tree Breakfast. We hope that you will join us in helping out for the event. We need youth to help carry gifts to the cars of the adults and to help on delivery runs. This is a great way to help these wonderful people have a great Christmas. More details will come.

WNL Tonight!!!

Just a reminder that we are restarting our WNL programming with a viewing of "Wall-E". We will then discuss it over the next two weeks. Since the movie is 98 minutes, we will start at 5:45pm. You can go and get your food from the Commons and bring it over. See you tonight!!

9/16 WNL- Faith & Flicks, Horton Hears a Who: Belief in the Unseen

Introduction:

• 10 minutes to go around and find things that show the existence of God.
• There was unbelief on two levels. The Whos didn’t believe the mayor that there was someone in the sky. Likewise, no one believed that there were little people living on a speck.
• Often times, the hardest thing that we have to do is to show people things that show evidence of God. People find it hard to believe in things that are unseen.

Discussion: Read 2 Corinthians 4

• How easy is it for you to get caught up in all the things that you can see?
• Do you find that the things you can see often get in the way of the things that you cannot see?
• How do you convince someone that there is truly something to believe in that is beyond this world, something that they cannot see?
