HUGE announcement for high schoolers at C-Groups tomorrow!
If you’re in high school, you’ll definitely want to come to C-Groups at the Giroux’s house tomorrow (Google Map here) for a very significant and important announcement about the high school ministry this year. I’m sure you’ll all be very excited when you hear it and you’ll definitely want to be the first to know so you can ask questions and hear more about something exciting that’s happening. Invite your high school friends and we’ll see you there tomorrow! Outdoor sand volleyball starts around 5:00 or 5:30 p.m., dinner is at 6:30 p.m., and Bible study starts at 7:00 p.m.
While it’s not required, please plan to bring a dish to share for the potluck dinner if possible. Thanks!
Annual Student Ministry Meeting this Sunday
There’s been some confusion about the starting time of this meeting. We’re going with the time that was printed on the summer schedule at the beginning of the summer: 6:00 PM.
There’s a lot of different connection points in our youth ministry here at Alexandria Covenant Church. This Sunday, August 29, we have a big meeting where we go over everything that’s happening this upcoming school year with the youth group. We’ll introduce you to events and programs, explain how things work, and share what’s changing. This is a very important meeting and we highly encourage all students and parents to attend. It starts at 6:00 PM.
Movie night at the Schmoyer’s on Thursday
All 7th-12th graders are invited to hang out at the Schmoyer’s house this Thursday to see the movie, “Letters To God,” as voted on by the students. It starts at 9:00 PM! Bring a lawn chair, bug spray, snacks and a couple friends!

Join our prayer team!
This year we are making prayer a primary value of our ministry, not just bookends we use to open and close meetings. It’s permeating almost every aspect of our ministry and will continue to grow as we move forward throughout the school year.
Chanda Winkels is forming a team of adults, parents, and students who will gather together to pray for our ministry, our community, students, leaders, schools, and more. They’re meeting in the Prayer Room at church on a weekly basis at these times:
- 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of each month: 6:30-8:00 p.m., starting September 8
- 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of each month: 6:4-7:45 a.m., starting September 15
If you’d like to join the prayer team either in the evenings, mornings, or both, contact Chanda Winkels at jcwinkels@yahoo.com or 320-766-8010.

This Thursday night, April 15, at 6:30 PM, Youth For Christ is hosting a free comedy night here at Alexandria Covenant Church. Daren Streblow, a nationally recognized Christian stand-up comic, will be performing along with music by the band, On Call.
The movie starts showing at the theater in Alexandria this Friday. It’s a great film for families to see together. There’s a lot of themes to discuss together afterwards, like drinking, peer pressure, suicide, abortion, acceptance, and more.
