Give to the Victims in Haiti this Weekend...

Imagine tonight without shelter. No light or water or toilets or food. You can't find your child. Death surrounds. Reality in Haiti.

It’s easy to watch an hour of CNN and be left worse than when you started. That level of intensity and catastrophe can tend to lead us down one of two paths:

• A numbed sense of powerlessness and detachment
• or
• A harried sense of temporary responsive activism

We are praying instead that God leads us and leads you to a God Given, Holy Spirit Driven, Sustainable and Responsible Response that reflects the way of Jesus.

We are asking that you

• Pray Now (For those suffering, for those serving, for families, new orphans, new widows)
• Give Some (This weekend, you or your student can, and should, bring some money to The Spark or 4ORTY 2WO for our special offering to give to Compassion International. Whatever amount you have in your head, add 25%)

We are praying for Haiti. We are praying that we would live a Gospel that has always been for the poor, the outcast, the forgotten.

Chick Night 2010!

Chick Night 2010!
Ladies, mark you calendars for Friday, February 5th through Saturday, February 6th! Student Ministry presents an event for girls only! Through fun videos, engaging discussion, lots of fun games and activities, and meaningful interaction between students and adult women of all ages and life stages, our goal is to help girls feel comfortable in their own skin and know how to survive and thrive as they navigate through adolescence. And it's a ton of fun! Grab a permission slip from the Student Zone, and get signed up! The cost is $10 per student, but any new girl friend she brings gets in FREE! It's going to be a phenomenal event that your daughter will not want to miss out on! Contact Katie at 515.987.9595 ext. 122 or email her at katie@pointofgrace.com for more information.
