 Wakn' Up
 Wake 'n Ski details for this summer are forthcoming, but in the meantime check out Wakn' Up's ministry, led by Al Carlson and some other people in our community. It will take place every Tuesday for those ages 12-15 (interested Sr High kids can contact Al to possibly help coach). There will even be tournaments and exhibitions! If you're interested, contact Gary Anderson at 320-815-5187, or find more information here.
Summer camping and hiking trip for Sr. High
 This summer one of our Monday C-Group leaders, Tyler Johnson, is working with YWAM (Youth With A Mission) in the Seirra Nevada Mountains leading camping and hiking trips. If you're interested in going on a trip with him, you'll spend 5-6 days on a back-packing hike, rockclimb, rappell a Peak ascent, explore caves, learn how to respond to wilderness emergencies, and more. You'll also recieve in-depth Bible studies led by various youth pastors. Find out more at http://www.seaandsummit.com/. The total cost for airfare and camping supplies will be around $600. For more information, contact Tyler:

- We're camping out on the floor in a church, so pack appropriately (i.e. bring your own sleeping bag)
- Pack old clothes for our service project on Saturday, something you can get dirty and you won't care if you get wait paint splattered on it.

Welcome party in Sr. High Cafe this Sunday!
This Sunday the Sr. High will welcome Kristin Hoaglund to the Sr. High Cafe. Starting next Sunday morning, Kristin and Dana Schmoyer will be starting a separate study just for 10-12th grade girls. So, come this Sunday morning to meet Kristin and have a great time playing games together. If you haven't been to the Sr. High Cafe for a while, these next two weeks are the perfect time to come check it out again as the format shifts a bit.

Belize pictures

New name for Sr. High Youth Group
For several months now it seems that Sunday night sr. high youth group has been without much direction, focus or even a name. Yeah, some people called it C3 when I first came to the church, but that name has never caught on and has certainly not given the meeting times an identity. I think it's important to have a name that reflects our desired outcome from the group. What is it we want our group to accomplish or become? We don't want a name that just sounds cool -- we want one that gives direction and meaning to the group.
At 30-Hour Famine I woke up (rather abruptly, I might add!) thinking, "Let's call it Impact!" The meaning behind "Impact" is two-fold: 1) We're here at church to be spiritually impacted so we can 2) leave a spiritual impact on people around us out in the world. We talked about it a little last week and I asked you to take a week to come up with other name candidates before we make the decision together. Come this Sunday night with your name ideas!
