You gotta watch the news video this week
The best thing to do this week is to watch the news video. It explains a lot of what’s going on a lot better than this email can. Plus, there’s no way to see all the fun video highlights from last week’s Food Drop and Friendly Costume Party without watching it. You can, however, see pictures of the Friendly Costume Party on our church’s Facebook page.
Immerse this Sunday/New series for Impact
This Sunday is our church-wide Immerse Worship Experience, an interactive time of prayer, music, testimonies, reflection, and more. It starts at 6:30 PM, so it will coincide with Sr. High Impact. The high schoolers will join Immerse and then we’ll break off to start a new series called, “Don’t get married until…” The preview video is in the news video above.
Dodgeball tournament deadline
If you and some friends want to be in the Allies Dodgeball Tournament, the deadline to have your registration form turned in is Sunday, November 15. You can download the form here. The actual tournament is on Saturday, November 21, at Lake Community Church, starting at 1:00 PM.
Planet Wisdom Student Conference info
If you’ve been to Planet Wisdom with us before, you know it’s an amazing time of spiritual growth, renewal, and way too much fun! This trip is for both high school and jr high students.
This year’s theme is, “A Walk With Christ To The Cross.” It is a conference experience for students like no other. Based on the Dawson McAllister study, the entire weekend is designed to intimately walk students through the 14 hours leading up to the most important event in human history, and consider what this means for their lives and faith. Who was this man? What did he do while on Earth? And why was his death so significant to our lives thousands of years after it actually occurred?
It’s a weekend trip to Grace Church in Eden Prairie, MN, on December 4-5. The cost is $69/person, plus you’ll want to bring some additional cash for lunch and dinner on Saturday. We’ll be sleeping over at another Covenant church near the city. Turn your money in to the church office to sign-up to go. Transportation is limited, so make sure you sign up early!
See the news video above for the Planet Wisdom video. If you’re not familiar with the event, that will fill you in on what it is, the speakers, the bands, and more.
