Chick Night!

If you have a daughter....DO NOT LET HER MISS CHICK NIGHT!

This is one of the premier events for girls in the DSM area each year. This year it is from 7pm on Friday, February 6th until 8am on Saturday, February 7th. This overnight event is filled with fun, food, games, friends, prizes and tons of memories that will enable your daughter to build friendships that are critical during this time in her life. The goal of this night is to help girls to develop a positive self image as well as learn the value of partnering with other girls as friends, rather than seeing them as competition. We do this through conversation, door prizes, videos and great student a leader interaction. It's a great night and you do not want your daughter to miss it!

Vitals - January 11th

The Spark (Jr. High) - January 11th
Message - "ALL IN - Against All Odds (Greed)" by Kurt
Key Points:
We love to PUSH the boundaries in our life because we want to be FREE!
Before we decide to give into TEMPTATION, we make many small choices to not TRUST GOD.
GREED leads us into the trap of sin. It’s wanting something for OURSELVES that we do not have.
Temptations OVER PROMISE and they always UNDER DELIVER.

Worship led by: Justin Willis and The Spark Band

NO LIFE GROUPS THIS WEDNESDAY (1/7/08)

This Wednesday (January 7th) we will not be having Life Groups. They will resume next Wednesday, January 14th at normal time in their host homes. If your student is not in Life Groups and would like to join, have them grab a Life Group Sign Up card this weekend and bring it home for you to sign. Next Wednesday is the Jump In Point for Life Groups for this upcoming series on Temptation. If they do not make it in this time the next Jump In Point is March 4th. Hope your student will make it on Sunday for the beginning of our new series on temptation called, "ALL IN."
