Weekly Update

Nov 4-10

PRAISE GOD for an amazing Fall Retreat!

We are so grateful to God for a time when students could engage through teaching, worship and fellowship. We give HIM all the glory!

A BIG thank you to our LOFT Leaders, Paul Fox (our food organizer), Sara Nygaard (our medical contact), Russ Dykema (our security lead) and ALL the parents that help serve our meals. God definitely used each of you to bless our students and leaders!

With Fall Retreat behind us…

Save the dates for ChillFest on Feb 21-23 at Camp Forest Springs in Westboro, WI.

Registration will open in early December. This one fills fast, so you will want to pay close attention for the details coming soon in your Weekly Update.

CAFÉ HELP NEEDED TOMORROW NIGHT!

You will be helping Paul Fox to set up, sell items and clean up…no pre-planning or organizing.  

REMINDER! Student Baptism Service – THIS Sun Nov 10, 4PM

This Sunday at 4:00 PM, we’re excited to celebrate 20 students becoming members through baptism! 

We’ve never had the opportunity for multiple student baptisms in one calendar year…it’s almost like, “if you build it, they will come!” It’s a beautiful milestone for our student ministry - what an exciting time to be part of the Loft!

We’d love for you to join us in supporting these students as they take such a profound step in their faith journey. It’s truly a testament to the community and the powerful guidance and encouragement each leader provides. Moments like these are a reminder of the lasting impact of leadership and fellowship. 

Looking forward to joining in and celebrating this special milestone together as a church family!

This Sun Nov 10 – Sunday Scripture Studies

This Sunday: Acts 16-17

In Acts 15, last week, we had the very important Jerusalem Council verdict that changed the church forever – PTL!

In Acts 17, we see Paul give a masterful message in Athens, taking what they “know” to what they truly need to know. 

He addresses their inscription on one of their “pagan god” altars… TO AN UNKNOWN GOD… 

We can learn much from this message together – see you Sunday! 

Next Week Nov 17: Acts 18-19

Parents of the Loft Group – Wednesdays, 6:30-8PM

This week we welcome Jay Seegert to share his wisdom and learning. Plan to attend and be blessed!

Parents: Leader Soup Sign-Up

Each Wednesday night, it is our tradition for parents to bless our leaders with a meal by bringing a crock pot of soup.  

Due to the number of leaders, each night has 2 slots. 

Crock pots can be dropped off at the back of the Student Cafe by the fridges, (look for the signs)before 4:30PM or between 6 and 6:30PM.

Prayer Requests for The LOFT

0: Pray for our Senior Pastor search, that we discover the person God has already picked to serve Him here. 

1: Pray for good connections with students & leaders, as we start new D-groups for 2024-25!  

2: Praise the Lord for a blessed Fall Retreat & excitement for the Student Baptism – This Sunday, Nov 10th! 

3: Pray for the Holy Spirit to prompt us all to grow to be more like Jesus & that many students and families would trust Christ this school year.
