This Week!

We are just a few days away from our Spring Retreat! I am super pumped about this weekend that we will have together!

Here is just a quick recap of the details.

Date: March 2-4th

Times: On Friday, Meet at Gateway at 4:45 to leave. We will be back on Sunday around 3 pm.

Cost: $65 per Teen (some financial assistance is available, please talk with Sean if you need help)

What to bring: Bible, Clothes (weather appropriate), Shoes, Bathroom stuff, Towels, Bedding for twin beds or sleeping bag, pillow, notebook & pen

- We also begin a new Wednesday night series this week called "Say What?" We are going to be talking about "Christianese". If you don't know what that is, let me ask this. Have you ever heard certain "Church" words and their meaning just fly's over your head? Like righteousness or sanctified? Some of you have heard these words for so long, and just nod you head, but really think, "SAY WHAT?" not having any clue what those words even mean. This series, will be a lesson, in learning the deeper meaning behind these words and how to live them out.

This Sunday, most of us will be on the Retreat, but if you can't make the retreat there will be a class in Room 22 for those here for Sunday Morning Study at 9am.

There will be NO share group this Sunday night as well.

Update 2.14.12

Quick Reminders

- This weeks "Dinner w/ Sean" will be here at the building at 5:30 pm. Bring $4 and we will eat in the gym together!

- This Saturday from 10:30am-1pm is our Homeless Outreach at Gateway. Many of the teens have pledged to be a part of this ministry. I hope that you can make it & help serve the homeless in our community.

- We began new classes on Sunday. We have started what I am calling "Blueprint" for both the middle and high school students. The purpose of this time is for them to begin to lay a foundation of biblical purpose in their lives and build a life that is focused on who God wants them to be.

- Wednesday Night we continue our series on "Focus", which has been all about learning to focus in on the goals & dreams that God has for us. This week we talk about the "what if's" in life and how do we overcome those fears and road blocks that keep us from doing God's purpose for our lives.

- The Spring Retreat is coming up fast. There is plenty of space available (this is NOT a limited trip). Please be making plans to attend. All the details are on the link to your right ------> labeled Spring Retreat 2012. I really want ALL of our students to be there. This is a weekend that will change our group FOREVER (in a good way)!!!!!
