August Parent Letter

Parents, 

Wow!  Summer is flying by!  I wanted to update you on a few things.   

First off we had a GREAT mission trip!  I'm so proud of our students.  They did a great job as they acted as servants in the city of Portland doing everything from yard work to serving peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to the homeless.  Our students worked really hard and did a great job.  I did training with our students during the mission trip teaching them the importance of reaching their lost friends for Christ.   Quiz them on the Pray, Pursue, Persuade system they learned during the trip. 

Our 8th graders only have a few more weeks left in middle school.. September 6th will be their first day with the high school.  On Wednesday, September 2 we'll have an end of summer bash at the Hall's from 7:00 to 10:00 pm.  

We're starting a new series for August called 'Destinations'.  This series will take an important look at how the decisions our students make lead them to various places and situations in life.  I hope you'll do everything possible to make sure your student is able to attend every session of this series.  They will receive life changing information at each session! 

Heads up on a few activities in August.  August 9th is our Swim Party at the Eldens. More details are in the Newsletter. August 16th is the reward lunch at Red Robbin for the PPP. Ask your child if they were on the mission trip what team they were on, they will know. 

I wanted to let you know about our next major student ministries event so you can begin planning now to keep your students calendar clear.  Our fall retreat will be October 2-4 at camp Tadmore.  More information will come soon but you'll want to make sure they don't miss this action packed weekend.  The weekend will include worship music, a special speaker, and tons of games and fun. 

Thanks for all you do as parents!  If you ever have any questions or need anything don't hesitate to ask! 

Pastor Joshua
