Mexico missions trip deadline/meeting
This Sunday is the Mexico missions trip meeting where we finalize who’s going on the trip. If you’re still undecided, you have the rest of this week to figure it out because on Sunday we will finalize the list.
We’ll be meeting in room 114 at church this Sunday, February 28, at 12:15 PM. We’ll announce deadlines for deposits, review team assignments, support raising, and more. See you there!
Winter Retreat for Juniors and Seniors
This year we’re doing something special for our high school juniors and seniors. The 11th and 12th graders are going on a weekend retreat to the Giroux’s cabin up north. We have a lot planned for the weekend, but perhaps the most exciting thing is that E.J. Swanson will be joining us as our guest speaker. E.J. is a nationally-known youth speaker, traveling with bands like Hawk Nelson, Big Daddy Weave, and more. The topics he’ll cover will relate to the major upcoming transitions in life when moving out of high school with real-life responsibilities and expectations.
The retreat is March 26-28 and will cost $69/person. We’ll leave Friday late afternoon and return Sunday early afternoon. Sign-up by turning in a check to the front office at church. If you’re unable to afford the cost, please talk with Tim directly. We’re more interested in having you join us than we are in getting your money.
If you are a junior or senior, invite your peers to come with us!
M.O.V.E. 2010
M.O.V.E. is the Mission Outreach Venture Experience in downtown Minneapolis for high school students (9th-12th grade). Sr. high students from all over our conference get together to worship, learn, and serve the city of Minneapolis by doing various service projects. This year it’s April 9-10 and Efrem Smith, pastor of The Sanctuary Covenant Church, will be the speaker. The cost is $30/person, and you’ll need some extra cash for two meals on the road.
Sign-by by turning your money in to the front desk at church along with your t-shirt size.
Here’s the highlight video we made of last year’s trip to MOVE 2009.
C-Group Updates
This Monday, March 1st, the Hurlbut’s C-Group is canceled due to Spring Break. On March 8th they will be going to the movie theater to see, “To Save A Life,” so meet at the cinema at 6:40 PM instead of at the Hurlbut’s house.
The Carlson’s C-Group is also canceled during Spring Break.
No Sunday School this week
Sunday School is canceled this Sunday for all ages. It’s spring “break” for all the teachers, too, right?
All my Haiti videos and pictures
Here’s the YouTube playlist of all my daily video blogs from while I was in Haiti last week. I basically walked around with my video camera the whole time and tried to capture snapshots throughout the entire trip, including some of my own processing of what I was experiencing each day.

I got the rest of my pictures from the trip uploaded to this blog’s Facebook page, too.
