 The end of Burning Bush Several years ago Burning Bush had a significant spiritual influence in many people's lives. It was a place of worship, spiritual renewal, fellowship and conviction, but for about two years now Allies has struggled to maintain the edge Burning Bush once had. Like any good program, Burning Bush served its purpose for a time and it did it well. However, when effectiveness of a program drops and it's no longer meeting the needs it once did, one must decide how long to continue investing into it. Last year Allies decided to revamp Burning Bush and put a different spin on it, hoping that would revitalize the potential ministry of Burning Bush. Unfortunately, it didn't. So, Allies decided that it is time to put Burning Bush to rest. It served us well, but we feel we should focus our time and energy into something that will have a more lasting impact than Burning Bush is currently having. What exactly that is and what it will look like, we're still not sure. We've discussed several ideas and are excited about where the Lord might lead us. Stay tuned for what lies ahead!There will be no more Burning Bush meetings until Friday, May 30, at 7:00 PM. We'll be meeting at New Life Church in Alexandria to honor all our graduating seniors and to hold our final Burning Bush worship experience. We hope to see you all there for this final event. If you have any questions about any of this, please feel free to contact me directly. I'd love to answer any questions you have. February ParentLink NewsletterIf you haven't seen it yet, this month's ParentLink Newsletter deals with teens and dating. It is full of helpful ideas and suggestions when it comes to this most difficult topic. You can either download it from our website or pick up a printed copy from the youth table at church. LifeChurch.tv, an Evangelical Covenant church based in Oklahoma, have an excellent video sermon series called, "Goin' All The Way." I high recommend you watch it whether your married, single, a teen or preteen. Even view them as a family or with your spouse and discuss each afterwards as part of this Valentines Day season. See all four episodes online right here. If you'd rather view them on DVD, let me know and I'll be happy to get them to you.Pillar and Building 429 Concert Pillar and Building 429 are coming to the Destiny Center in Ashby, MN, on Sunday, February 24. Tickets are $12 in advance or $15 at the door. Get your tickets at iTickets.com or by calling 800-965-9324.There will be no Sr. High youth group that night. Instead, we'll all carpool together to the concert. To help us know how many drivers to arrange, please sign up on our website. If you're an adult and can help drive, please sign up there, as well, and indicate that you're willing to help drive and how many total seatbelts are in your car. Although trip is open to both Sr. High and Jr. High students, we'll be carpooling seperately and going as seperate groups.

Februrary 29 to March 1 here at the church for all Sr. High students (9th-12th grade).

Thanks!Monday C-Groups location changeThe Monday night C-Group will NOT be meeting at the Hurlbut's for several weeks. There's no C-Group this Monday night due to having school off the next day, but after that meetings will be at Amber Apol's parents' house. Their address is 1110 Latoka Hts Lane SW (see it on Google Maps), which is off County Rd 45 in the Horizon Heights neighborhood. Amber's cell phone is 815-2797 if you need help with directions. |
