Right Around the Corner

We have so many exciting things right around the corner.

January is a month where God is really calling us to celebrate all that He has done in and through the students. God led us to develop promises that form the basis of our community in the youth group and it is awesome to see what He has done through them in our lives.

Sunday January 30th: The youth are leading the worship service on Sunday January 30th. The ideas are coming together and we are starting to get excited! We have video, drama, music, and awesome challenges for the day planned. What a way to celebrate what God has been doing through the students by the promises we have made to each other as a youth group

Winter Retreat: It's right around the corner! So many exciting things planned. Please pray for God to move through the hearts of the youth and the leaders.

God Has In Store Great Things

God has great things in store for the Launch Student Ministries. There are so many amazing things that God has brought to our attention. Please check the blog regularly for details.

JANUARY 2011:

• Permission forms and cheques are due next Tuesday night (Jan 11) for the Winter Retreat/Snow Camp. This includes the friends of the students in Highview.
• The students in Launch Student Ministries have been asked to lead the worship service on January 30th. We'll be talking about promises we have made as a youth group and their impact on how they are developing community among us.

TURN ON THE TAP: Launch Student Ministries is linking with several other youth groups in the area to raise $10,000 for 100 water filters that will go to families in desparate need of clean water. The event takes place on Saturday April 9th but we have a lot to do to prepare for the event. Each student in Highview is being challenged to raise $50-$100 for their 8km walk. Donation forms are available. Please contact Ian for further details.

PARENT CONNECTION: Once and a while the Launch Student Ministries is going to ask the parents to come to a youth night for the first 10 minutes of youth group to have an opportunity to connect with the Student Ministries Director (Ian Peers) about upcoming youth initiatives. We did this last Tuesday night. The main feature of this connecting point is to provide a package of permission forms for upcoming events in a 3 month block. This will help eliminate permission forms going out at different times and create a better communication structure. This parent connection night is also to help answer questions and discover ways we can all be praying for what God is doing in our midst. Please stay posted as to when the next "Parent Connection" is going to be.
