Beach Retreat: Parent Meetings...North


Parents,

Beach retreat is truly just around the corner. Don't miss out on our Parent Meetings so that you can know all about what your JHigh & HS student will (and will not) be up to during this momentous week in their life! The Meeting dates that we ask all parents to attend are:
Tonight 6-7pm FLC Gym
Next Wednesday 7-8pm FLC Gym

  • Both meetings are for both JHigh and HS Parents (kill 2 birds with 1 stone, right!)
  • Both meetings will be the same content
  • Yes, you can bring your child's / friend's registration to the meetings

Beach Retreat '09 - Where amazing happens!

Now Twittering....

Okay, so I kinda feel like a lemur here but I have taken the plunge into the world of Twitter this morning and so there you have it! You can sign up to get my "tweets" on your phone in the box to the left of this blog.

I've always thought it was a weird way of stalking other people, but this year at BEACH RETREAT '09 we (the Student pastors here at SBC) will be sending updates to the Beach Retreat featured page of http://www.second.org/.

more to come on this before we hit the Beach!

FLIP: a new Weekend Series




This weekend (May 17/18) we are kicking off a new series in the Student Ministry called "FLIP UR Life"


I can't wait to see what God does as we get a closer look at some individuals whose lives were absolutely flipped upside down for Christ and His Cause after a life-altering encounter with God.


God has a message for our students each and every week. I can't wait to see what He does!
