Key Points:
We often spending time trying to get God to do things FOR US, without realizing that He has things to say TO US.
Many of us make decisions based on other people’s OPINIONS rather than checking out the Bible for OURSELVES.
To know where we fit in the STORY, we need to spend time READING about God’s plan for humanity.
If the Bible really is the WORD OF GOD, are you listening to what HE SAYS?
Key Verses: Acts 17:10-12, 2 Timothy 3:12-15
Worship led by: Leah Banks and The Spark Band
Attendance:
Total: 114
1st Service: 55 (45 students, 10 leaders)

FUSE - Fall Getaway is only 1 week away!

There is only one week left until the deadline to sign up for FUSE! Your student does not want to miss this event! Our Fall Getaway is up in Boone, at the YMCA Camp and we bring it all! It's an incredible weekend where students are challenged to grow closer to each other, more in love with God and more passionate about changing their campus. It's an incredible weekend! It's only $120 which includes programing elements, food, lodging, transportation, games, prizes and a t-shirt! There are also optional activities available at a small extra cost. Registration is at 3:30p on Friday, October 3rd at Point of Grace and we leave from camp at 4:00p. We will return at 5:00p on Sunday October 5th. Please be there to pick up you child at that time. A signed parent permission slip is due at the time of registration. The deadline to sign up is Wednesday, October 1st! Don't let your student miss out. There is a huge difference in the connectedness of students who go on this trip and those who do not. Set a great trajectory for the year and sign your student up for FUSE!

TWLOHA Tour - October 10th

The TWLOHA Tour will be at Point of Grace on Friday, October 10th from 7-10:30p. Tickets cost $5 in advance or $8 at the door. Between the Trees, Nevertheless, and Dan Evans from NBC's "The Biggest Loser" will be playing, and Renee Yohe will be speaking about her battle with depression, self-image and cutting and how she found healing in Christ from her new book "Purpose for the Pain."

Purpose for the Pain is the inspiring story of a young woman’s battles through addiction, depression and self-mutilation. In heartbreaking detail and poetic outpourings, Renee Yohe (the inspiration behind the non-profit movement, To Write Love On Her Arms) chronicles her journey from self destruction to new life. Over four years of journal entries, she takes readers through her deepest moments of despair to the hope on the other end. Renee’s story is a light of possibility to anyone who feels trapped by darkness.

You do not want to miss this night! Grab some flyers and bring all your friends!
