Talking to your Friends about Jesus

Hey there everyone, I hope your Monday is going awesomely! Mine started out early and will end late, but I am excited that I will be with people all day today working on our Harvest Party, and getting ready for this Wednesday night!

This coming Wednesday night is our first ever teaching night. We are going to be talking about how to talk with your friends without looking weird. We are going to take a little bit longer on our teaching time and give you some practical tools to invite and talk with your friends about Jesus!
We will still be doing games, and worship, and we will be having small groups in a little different way. We will still have all the elements that make up our REFUGE, but they will look just a little different this Wednesday night.

Here are a couple things you need to be aware of:
1. 3dyc registration forms are due November 2nd, and that is with the money! If you were auctioned off take that amount of money off from 150$ and that is how much you owe. We will have everyone who was Auctioned off and for what on Wednesday night if you have any Questions.

2. Harvest Party October 26th! We are turning our church into a blackout Maze! It's going to be awesome, so invite your friends and get ready to have a ton of fun. If we get over 200 people here that night, I will wax my eye brows off, and hopefully we can get Gareth to cut his hair into a mullet! That Harvest Party is here at Crystal Valley, and we will be outside that night so please dress warm!

If you have any questions about anything please contact Pastor Adam at cvmcadam@gmail.com

Youth Group Recap

Hey there everyone I am sorry I didn't update yesterday, I was swamped with getting the last minute details done. Also I had an important meeting for our harvest Party yesterday where we laid out the design for our Maze that we are going to be building in 2 weeks!

So if you couldn't make it last night, we missed you! So here is what you missed.

We read through the first 5 verses of Mark 6. Where Jesus went back to his hometown of Nazareth and was greeted without honor. Jesus couldn't do any miracles except for a few because He wasn't honored and they didn't have any faith. So we asked the question, Are you valuing your relationship with Christ? Is He able to do things in your life because you are honoring Him?

Then we explored who we are supposed to honor. Then we talked about how do we honor our parents, and those who teach the word of God. So we got to pray for our small group leaders, and honor them with pie.

Then we gave a challenge to the students to try to out due one another in loving on their small group leader this week.

So Students love on your small group leader this week!

I hope you have a fantastic day today!

2 Reminders:

1. Harvest Party October 26th! 6:30pm - 9pm! Don't Miss out!
2. 3dyc Registration sheets are out, They are due November 2nd!

Youth Group EVE!

Hey there everyone, I hope your Tuesday is going swimmingly! Mine has started out with a good work out, then a great devotion time looking out over a golf course with a ton of fog on it. It was pretty stinking cool, there is a picture of it in my facebook! So Check it out there.

Tomorrow night is going to be stinking awesome. We have some great games we are going to play, 2 of them are brand new! We have some new worship songs we are going to be introducing, and we are starting a new Series called Forgotten Virtues! It's going to be a great night. So don't miss out.

Also, we have our New REFUGE CAFE! We will be having Taco's available again for you guys to eat, also chips, candy, pop, water, and hopefully this week some NACHOS! So bring some money so you can get some food before youth group.

Hopefully we will see you all here Wednesday night. God has some amazing things in store for you on Wednesday night!
