 New Youth Series: How to Study the Bible
 This Sunday we started a new series called, How To Study The Bible, based on my (Tim's) Bible college and seminary notes. The more I put the series together, the more excited I am to go through it with you guys. The Word will come alive like never before because you'll experience first-hand what it's like to know how to dig into God's Word for yourself. It's not too late to jump into the study with us!
In case you're interested, I purchased copies of the Bible study methods book I used in both Bible college and seminary, an excellent resource that's fun to read and easy to understand. I'll be basing most of our study on this book. Each copy retails for $19, I paid $13, but it's yours for $5 if you want one. I have four copies left.
Ending The Journey with a Party on May 7!
 The last official night of The Journey is April 30. However, we're going to end The Journey for this year with a photo scavenger hunt the Wednesday after that, May 7th. Each small group will pile into their leader's car and drives around town with a digital camera to take pictures from a pre-determined list (for example, "Take a picture at Wal-Mart with at least 3 employees -- 100 points"). After an hour, we'll meet at church again, tally up the points and watch a slideshow of everyone's pictures in the Ministry Center while eating some snacks. Arrive at church a little earlier than normal because you'll be leaving with your small group leaders right at 6:30 PM!
April ParentLink: Your passion becomes their passion
 With Easter just behind us, this month's topic is passion. The newsletter is packed with ideas that parents can use to share their passion for Christ with their teens. Download it here.
Youth Worship Band Practicies this week

- Sr. High: April 20 and May 18, each at 5:00 PM
Sr. High girls Sunday School assignment
Just a reminder for you Sr. High girls (10th-12th grade) to read Romans chapter 4 this week. Kristin will be following up about it this coming Sunday in your Sunday School class.

Appreciation Sunday for Teachers
April 20 is our appreciation Sunday for all our teachers and youth leaders. We'll be recognizing them in two Sundays from now in church for all the hard work, energy and time they so lovingly invest into students. If you'd like to write a little thank-you note to your small group leader or another adult volunteer, I would be happy to pass it on to them on April 20 to encourage them and let them know just how much they're appreciated. E-mail it to me, put it in my box at church, message me on Facebook, whatever you want. Thanks!
