No Spark or 4ORTY 2WO until 2008!

We will not be having any Student Ministry services on December 23rd or December 30th so that your student can join you for family Christmas Celebrations. We encourage you to worship together as a family and celebrate Christ's birth and the new life He provides for us! Be sure to attend The DIVINE at Point of Grace on Saturday night, Dec. 22nd at 5:30p or Sunday at 9:00 or 10:30 am or 5:30 or 7:00 pm. From all of us on the Student Ministries Team, we wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Student Ministries will resume our normal schedule on Sunday January, 6th for the beginning of our new series: Said In (RED). See you in 2008!

SNOWFEST 2008

Don't let your student miss out on the biggest event of the winter! We will be heading up to Afton Alps, Minnesota to enjoy a whole weekend of snowboarding and skiing, great fun and new memories with friends! The cost for this trip is $200 if you have your student has their own equipment and $245 if they need to rent it, and you will need to fill out and sign a permission slip to turn in with your money to hold your student's spot. This trip is going to be a great time for your student to get away and get connected! Charter bus transportation, lodging, most meals and lift tickets are included! If you drop your spot after December 1st, you will be refunded all but $50. There are only 45 spots for this trip and it will sell out, so sign up quick!
