Two options for Sunday night, December 2nd
Two Sundays from now two on December 2nd big events are going on and you guys can choose which you'd like to be a part of.
- Burning Bush will be at The Barn as normally scheduled, starting at 6:00 PM. Mark McClintick, youth pastor at Lake Community Church, will be sharing about how to give yourself away and of course Joe and the band will be leading worship.

The Friendly Costume Party pictures are online
Thanks to all the students who helped out with the Friendly Costume Party! Sarah Murphy, a mom at the party, said this to you all on our youth group Facebook wall:
"I just wanted to write a note to say thank you to all the youth who helped at the costume party last night. My girls are 4 and 2, and they had a wonderful time. What I appreciated most was how good all of you were with the kids, and it really seemed like you all wanted to be there. Thank you so much, and keep up the good work!"
Check out the pictures here!

Teen Internet Workshop video archived online
 If you missed the Teen Internet Workshop for Parents this past Tuesday but want to watch the video of the seminar, it's now archived on our youth group website. The video is a little over 2 hours long, so carve out a little bit of time to sit in front of your computer for it. Feel free to pass the video link to other parents you know who could benefit from the seminar, too. (Once you click "Play," give it a minute or two to get the streaming started before it actually starts to play.)
Watch the Teen Internet Workshop video online
Or, if you attend our church and you'd like to have the seminar on DVD, contact me directly.
In the seminar I showed a video of a CNN interview with Anastasia Goodstein, author of Totally Wired: The truth of what teens and tweens are REALLY doing online. I HIGHLY recommend this book for any parents who wants to understand more about the online social world and how teenagers are interacting with it. Get the book on Amazon.com.
Here's a link to watch the video of the CNN interview on our youth group website.
