Day 1: Wrap Up

We had a great day today on the slopes. NO INJURIES (other than a few bonked heads and some sore muscles)!! Many people learned to ski or snowboard and it is so amazing watching people try something new and succeed! We know that God loves watching your students have fun and enjoy His beautiful creation! We will keep you posted, but we look forward to a great day tomorrow as well and a safe drive home. Weather looks good so we should be at the church at 9:00p as planned!

Also please make plans to attend our Parent Connection Meeting next Sunday, March 2nd in the Student Zone (Theater) at Point of Grace from 12:30-1:30p. All the important stuff for spring will be there, so you should be too! :) Have a good one and thanks for trusting us with your students!

WE MADE IT SAFE!

We have arrived at the Country Inn and Suites in Woodbury, MN! Everyone is really excited to get on the slopes tomorrow morning and are currently enjoying the warm pool! Look forward to more updates coming soon!

No Student Ministries Services This Weekend!

There will be no Student Ministries Services this Sunday (Feb. 24th) because we will be at SNOWFEST '08! If your student is not coming with us to SNOWFEST '08 then please join you in the main service this weekend. (They are finishing up the PUREsex series) If you (or they) would rather not be in the adult service, then they can help out in Children's ministry. Have them talk to Debbie or Jodi at church this weekend to volunteer. We will return to normal service times next Sunday, March 2nd with the start of our new series: MYSPACE.

NO 42 DUE TO THE BLIZZARD!

There will be no 42 service tonight for the High Schoolers because of the snow storm.  Please be safe and we will see you on in 2 weeks for our new series: MYSPACE!
