IMPORTANT MEETING FOR ANYONE WANTING TO JOIN THE 2009 CONFIRMATION CLASS: Everyone interested in participating in the 2009 Confirmation Class needs to come to an important meeting Sunday, January 11th at 6:30 PM and bring a parent. At this meeting we will go over the entire program, sign up for missions, and answer all of your questions. If you cannot make the meeting on 1/11, there is a makeup scheduled for Thursday, January 22nd at 7:30 PM. With so many students expected to be in the class, covering all of this information for each individual is not possible. Please make plans to attend one of these meetings. If you have questions about confirmation, please contact Pastor Brian.
FX RETURNS THIS SUNDAY, JANUARY 4TH: FX is back THIS SUNDAY. Don’t miss out! Come to see your church friends. Come to find out if Jeff Petit really got a new puppy for Christmas! 7th and 8th graders (5-6:30): be ready to answer, “What is the best gift you gave this Christmas?” High Schoolers (6-7:30): come be with some of the college students home on break.
SMALL GROUPS ARE BACK: Do you ever wonder if other people have a hard time living as a Christian as a teen? Do you struggle to be faithful to your beliefs with everything going on in your life? Do you wish you had a group of folks your age and gender who could help you figure out what all this God-stuff means? Then you should join a small group. To find your small group check the calendar or contact Pastor Brian for information on a group waiting for you!
ATTENTION 10-12 GRADERS – MOST AWESOMEST OPPORTUNITY: One of the coolest experiences I’ve ever had is now available to you. A group of great people is offering a weekend event, called Chrysalis, to older high schoolers from across Columbus. Much like the adult Emmaus walk, this will be three day that I am confident God will use to touch your heart. The girls retreat is January 17-19 (MLK Weekend). The boys retreat is February 14-16 (President’s Day Weekend). Cost is just $65. Grab a friend and go! Registration information is at http://www.chrysaliscares.org/registration.htm. I will happily sponsor you. Just be sure I know you are wanting to go! You need to register before school is out to save your spot!
