This Saturday, August 18th we will be having our End of Summer Pool Party! It will be a the Clive Pool (not Valley View as previously mentioned... it closed early this season, sorry!) on 50th Street. We will meet there at 11:30a and be done and ready for pick up at 4:00p. Have your student bring $7.00 to get into the pool complex. Have them eat lunch first or bring money for snacks! Hope they can make it because it's going to be a really fun day!

Vitals - August 5th

The Spark (Jr. High) - August 5th
Message - "Stories: Sword of the Spirit" by Kurt
Key Points:
Swords do 3 things:
CUT - shows us what we need to get rid of
POKE - shows us what we need to start doing
DIRECT - shows us where to go and how to live
When God SPEAKS, our HEARTS do the listening.
Since God sees EVERYTHING, we can trust Him to tell us how to LIVE
When I SEE as God sees, I will do as God SAYS.
Verses Referenced: Ephesians 6:13,17, Romans 12:1b-2, Hebrews 4:11-12
