Nerd Prom Recap

We had another successful Nerd Prom! Twenty-three 4th, 5th, and 6th graders joined us as we had an exciting time of fellowship. We celebrated how God has uniquely designed each one of us for His glory. 

Kidz Choir

So far, we have 26 K-6th graders participating in Kidz Choir! We have room for more if your child would like to participate! We are preparing for a Christmas musical on December 4th. Rehearsals are on Sunday nights from 6pm-7pm, during Sunday evening worship service. 

Community Groups have started back! This is a great opportunity for your student to mature in their relationship with King Jesus as they study God’s Word with their peers. All students are meeting at 15683 Rose Road, and they are studying what it means to “Experience God.”

We’ve also got a parent community group this fall as well! We will be encouraging one another to have a “God-sized vision” for our families as we study the Scriptures and read Visionary Parenting. We are meeting at 1003 S Main Street.

See You at the Pole (SYATP) is on September 28th this year! See You at the Pole is simply a prayer rally where students meet at the school flagpole before school to lift up their friends, families, teachers, school, and nation to God. Your student will want to check with their Christian organization on their campus (FCA, FCS, etc.) for the time.

That night, we will have a SYATP Post-Pole rally in the youth room from 6:30-8:00 PM with games, giveaways, worship, and an evangelistic message. This will be a great chance for your student to invite their lost friends!

Fall Retreat is October 28th-30th at Lake Sallateeska Baptist Camp!! This year's theme is "The Pause.” In The Pause we'll learn how to pray, how to memorize Scripture, and how to study specific passages of the Bible. Essentially, we'll learn how to develop the habits that will lead us into a vibrant relationship with Christ. The cost is $55 per student, and there are discounts for families with multiple students!
