For those of you who don't know...we pair things down for the summer to give our volunteers some time for rejuvenation, time for us to gauge if we have stayed on vision and even begin to start planning for the Fall- we also focus a lot of our attention on a few key events (like mission trips and camp). I hope you see the immense benefit in us removing the constant physical and emotional weight of the weekly gatherings from the mix (at least for a season).
But a lot of people forget about our summer weekly gathering: CommonPoint. It started up this morning in the Student Cafe (9:15 for middle school and 11 for high school). It is a very chill environment, with a heavy emphasis on interaction with the Scriptures (with a different teacher every week of the summer) dialogue around the text and a connection time at the end (open Gym & Game Room). I actually love the format and I have heard from a ton of students that they do as well. Hope to see you there soon.
Just a heads up...we are going to lay out the direction we are heading, as a ministry, come Fall at CommonPoint next Sunday, June 14. There will be some substantial changes and both Scott and I will be there to dialogue around this...I know you hear me say this all the time, but don't forget this is not a ministry to students, but of students. Be there on Sunday to manifest that reality, as we ask for input as well as buy-in.
Leaders- we will be doing the same for you (outlining some vision changes as well as how our revised gatherings fulfill that vision) at the Volunteer Picnic on Wednesday night. Call Shelly asap to RSVP if you haven't yet!
