and we need everyone to participate! Kate has planned some great
ministry for us. We will be doing some evangelism training, prayer
ministry at Kickapoo High School (as well as cleaning up around campus),
and a block party at Lake Shore Apartments in
Chesterfield Village. The cost is $10 and you need to bring a lunch. We
will cover dinner and Andy’s for the after party. Please let us know ASAP if you are coming so we can prepare for transportation and ministry.
July 24: Midweek After Party- we
will be loading up on the buses and heading out to Andy's Frozen
Custard this week. Bring money for your ice cream tell your parents to
pick you up at Ridgecrest at 9:15.
August 4: Small Group Leader Meeting/Training- we
are rolling out a new small group curriculum church wide and need to
train our leaders. If you currently teach or would like to teach a
student small group, we need you at this event. Please RSVP with Joe or
Kate to let us know you are coming! Besides training on the new
curriculum, we will also do some student ministry brainstorming
together. Joe would like to hear from you on many things about student
ministry. This will also give him a chance to share with you a little
about his vision for student ministry and the important role you play as
a volunteer.
August 7: Project Springfield- More information coming soon! Mark your calendars, though!
August 8-9: Leadership Summit- Register online if you haven't yet!

August 18: Bilyeu Family Concert- Sunday morning at 9:00 & 10:30.
Our Pastor has a great vision from the Lord to see 100 people come to
Christ at this concert. Please pray about someone you know who needs the
gospel that you could bring with you. Pastor Hosea promises that gospel
will be systematically presented in word and in song.
August 21: Midweek Fall Kickoff- we
hope to have a big kick-off event this Fall for Midweek. We want to do
Midweek BIG! There are a LOT of things in the works for this night. Our
goal is to get 100 students that night. As incentive, the student who
brings the most friends to the Fall Kick Off will get to come to Winter Retreat for FREE! Also, if we break 100 students, the top three who bring the most friends will get to pie Joe, James, & Kate in the face!
August 25: The Stand
Midweek July 24
“Fanning the Flame”
Acts 2:42-47
Acts 2:42-47
We
started this last week and only got through the first point! We have
experienced God in some big ways this summer through mission trips and
camp. The challenge now is how do we continue this passion and zeal we
have come home with? We will look at Acts 2 to see how the early church
“Fanned the Flame” after they had encountered Jesus.
The believers continued to…
1- Be Devoted to God’s Word V. 42
2- Pray V. 42
3- Spend Time Together V. 42, 44, 46, & 47
4- Experience the Power of God in Their Lives V. 43,47
5- Sacrifice for the Cause V. 45-46
Small Groups July 28

Follow up questions for parents
-
On several occasions in Jairus' story, his faith in Jesus could have
crumbled. What are some things today that threaten or discourage your
faith in God's ability and desire to meet your needs?
- Why is it a struggle for us to look beyond ourselves to the helpless and hopeless?
- Who in your life needs your support and encouragement in the midst of their struggles?
