New Series Starting in Student Ministries!
Hey everyone! Don't miss out on the new series in Student Ministries starting this Sunday, October 22nd at both the Waukee and Ankeny campuses!!Life 360 will be a powerful series on life, friendships, money, risk, identity and faith. Be sure your students attend all six weeks to get your raffle tickets for a chance to win an XBOX 360 and other sweet prizes! Thats right! Every week that they attend, they will receive a raffle ticket for the XBOX 360. If they bring a new friend and they will receive an extra ticket that week, and their friend will receive 5 tickets! So the more friends that they bring the more tickets you earn!!
We hope that you will help up encourage your students to attend this life-changing series! Even if they don't win the XBOX 360, they will learn about themselves, their friends and God and be able to experience Him in a more real way, so you don't want them to miss it! Hope to see your student this weekend! It's going to be amazing!

Could your Student Help with the Fall Festival??
Hey parents! What are your students doing on October 27th?
We would love for them to come and help out with the Fall Festival at Point of Grace! The Fall Festival is a community outreach event for families with elementary age children and we need your help! Your students are needed to run the carnival games (the real deal!) for the kids from 6:30-8:30p. Also as a thank you we will throw an outrageous Halloween Party for the Student Ministries on Halloween Night! They won't want to miss out on it because it will be so much fun!
If you could help us get them involved, either email Kurt at kurt@pointofgrace.com or have them sign up this weekend at 42 or The Spark.
They will need to show up next Friday night, October 27th at 5p for pizza dinner and instructions and then the Festival starts at 6:30p. We will be done around 9 p.
Please have your student attend dressed up in costume, however we ask that what they wear is appropriate for little children, so nothing gross, scary or scandalous. Thanks so much. We appreciate your help and we will see you at the Fall Festival!

Parents! We need your feedback!
Hey parents!
As a staff team we are making some decisions about the possibility of summer camp. Yeah, I know we haven't even had the first snow yet, but we need to start thinking about summer camp. We are getting really excited about a couple different camps and so we wanted to put it out to you as parents to see what you would like for your students!! Please post a comment to this post, or you can email Kurt at kurt@pointofgrace.com and let him know what your opinion is about camps!
Ok, so here are the options:
1. Big Stuf Camps
Location: Panama City Beach, Florida
Cost: Approx. $450.
Website: http://www.bistuf.com
2. Kamp Kanukuk
Location: Southwest Missouri
Cost: Approx. $350
Website: http://www.kanukuk.com
3. Hidden Acres Camp
Location: Dayton, Iowa
Cost: Approx. $325
Website: http://www.hacamps.org
We have talked to many other church leaders in Iowa that take their students to Big Stuf camps in Florida. Its is an amazing camp (Ranked #2 in the nation) with amazing worship bands, world renowned speakers and an incredible setting (duh!) However we understand that it is a long drive and an expensive camp, so we wanted to run it by you parents first. We would love to take the students there but we need to know that 50 students would be able to go. So let us know what you think. Also for those families with multiple students, there will be a $50 cost break for each additional student that you sent to camp. We do what we can. Thanks parents.... Hope to hear from you soon!

Going to the Movies?
With a lot of new movies that your students will want to see, like Employee of the Month with Dane Cook and Jessica Simpson, however, there might actually be one that promotes Christian values and a radical faith in Jesus. Facing the Giants is a film made by two pastors from Georgia, and was actually picked up by Sony Pictures and had done very well in test markets, somewhat surprising due to its very upfront Christian message. It is still showing at Jordan Creek, so go see it this week with your family. For a review of the movie from pastors.com check out this link.
