Announcements
Parent & Student Email List- If you are interested in receiving this information (and other important information) via email every week, we need to know it! We would like to not only post things on the blog, but also be able to email you with attachments such as event flyers and permission slips. Please email Joe Nelson at jnelson@ridgecrestbaptist.org to be added to the list. 

Volunteers Needed- We are starting a "snack shack" at Midweek and Small Groups. We will sell cheap snacks out of the serving window of the kitchen in the FC. We need students and parents who can help sell snacks prior to services. This would mean showing up early and helping to organize things. We also need students to serve as a "First Impressions Team" to greet students as they come in, show them to the check-in computers, and even walk them through the process. Finally, we need parents/small group leaders who will serve as sort of a "security" team. Our building is huge and students could easily wonder off and get themselves in to trouble. We need adults to just hang out in the lobby during Midweek and at other events making sure this does not happen. If you are interested in serving in ANY of these, please email Joe or Kate. 

August 14: Midweek After Party- We are hosting "Water Wars" so prepared to get wet and bring a towel. There is no cost for this event, just stay after midweek and have some fun outside together. We will shut things down at 9 since it is a school night for most students. 

August 16-17:  7th Grade Welcome Weekend

August 18: Bilyeu Family Concert- Sunday morning at 9:00 & 11:00. 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- please sign up at the Kiosk or email Joe/Kate to register. We only have room for 30 students and those spots will fill up fast! We will meet at Ridgecrest at 5:20 and drive together to the event in our buses. For more details about the event, check out their website

August 30: Tailgating- w/ the MCU (Mobile Church Unit.) We need adults and students to come serve food, engage the people at the game, and setting up/tearing down. Email Joe if you are interested in helping with any of these.

Midweek August 14
The Issues: Media

We will be wrapping up our summer series "The Issues." This week we will be taking a Biblical look at media. 

3 Biblical Principles for Media in our lives...
1- We should put “good” things in. Philippians 4:8, 1 Thessalonians 5:21-22, Psalm 101:3-4
2- Everything we do should be done for the glory of God. 1 Corinthians 10:31
3-  We should be careful not to offend those around us. 1 Corinthians 10:32-33

Small Groups August 18
