Announcements

New Attachments: Please see the attached "GO DEEP" sheet for students to have a simple way to get in to God's word this week. There is a daily study to read and a spot to take notes. Each day reflect back to something related to the Midweek message for this week. There is also a simple New Testament reading plan on the back page. 

Volunteers Needed:
1- Fall Kick-Off THIS Wednesday: We are good for adults. If you emailed and said you would help, we are counting on you. We should have plenty of adults around from 5:45 to 8:00. If you are a small group leader and can make it the whole time, that would be helpful!
2- The Stand: We are good for adults, but we still need a bus driver for the 14 passenger. You don't have to have a special CDL for this bus. 
3- Tailgating: We are looking good for adults. We could use a couple more high school students to come if possible. 
4- Small Group Leaders: We have had a few people express some interest in stepping into a small group leader opening but no one has confirm yet. If you would be interested in this, please let me know, we NEED you!
5- Snack Shack: We have a great start for this, but could use a couple more folks willing to help out. We also still need someone who might be interested in taking charge of this for us. Great chance to serve! This will require showing up early for midweek and small groups. 
6- Security: We have had 3 adults volunteer for this, so we could use several more. We have a BIG building and a lot of students. We need adults who will just be here keeping an eye on kids making sure they are not going and doing something they shouldn't. We will need people especially for Midweek and for events we host at the church.

August 21: Midweek Fall Kickoff- Be here at 6:00 for FREE hot dogs/chips/icees. We will start the service at 6:30 in the FC. Our goal is to get 100 students Wednesday 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! We can easily get to 100 students, but it will require everyone bringing friends.Parents, PLEASE encourage your kids in this!

August 25: The Stand- please sign up at the Kiosk or email Joe/Kate to register. We only have room for 30 and those spots will fill up fast! Right now we only have 8 spots open! 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.) High School students, we need your help with this! This is a great outreach opportunity and we want to use it to minister to your friends as well as an opportunity to engage and invite them to Midweek and other events.
