Schedule Change and Update

A new school year means we are all a little older and hopefully getting a little wiser.  As your youth ministry team gets better at working together hopefully we get a little wiser too! 

Here is run down on a few things that being 'refined' at 24/7.

1. Schedule.  We are going to start at 5:30 instead of 6:00.  We will still get done at 8:00.

2. Small Groups. After a combined Jr. & Sr. High time of food, fun and fellowship, we will be splitting into small group for our weekly Bible Studies. Each Small group will last 8 weeks, and will discuss a particular topic or passage of scripture.  This will allow us to focus on things that are relevant to your life, rather than trying to find one topic that will reach everyone from 6-12th grade. 

For some small groups you'll have options of which one you pick.  Others will have restrictions, like, Senior High only, Jr. High only, Girls only or Guys only.

Your first Choices will be:
"Christianity 101"
"Purity" - Girls only
"Be a Man" - Guys only

NOTE:  The youth ministry team reserves the right to 'assign' you to the group that we think will best meet your spiritual needs. This is just a precaution, because (using sarcastic voice) we know that no one in our  youth group would EVER choose what group to be in just because of which friends are going to that group. (end Sarcasm)

3. Youth Group on Facebook.  We have a group on facebook and it is a great place for you to find out the details about upcoming events, and stay connected with friends.  If you are on facebook, and are not already a member of that group but want the details, message me, and let me know.  If you are not on facebook, don't worry, I'll have all of the same info here on the Blog.

4. Announcements.  Mom and Dad, this one is for you.  The last 15 minutes of each Saturday Night 24/7 will be set aside for announcements about upcoming or events or ongoing projects.  Please feel free to pop in and join us, so that you'll be well informed.

5. Bible Study.  We are opening our Wednesday afternoon Bible to all Sr. High Students who would like to attend.  We meet from 3:30 - 4:30 every Wednesday.  We go verse by verse through the Bible and pray for each other.   We are currently studying the book of John, and will be starting chapter 8 this week. 
WARNING: If you come, you'll be expected to do the following: Read out loud, Pray out loud, Ask questions when you don't understand something, and Share your thoughts and experiences.

6. Drama. We had a blast with the drama team this summer, and we have lots of opportunities to do more, both here at CBC and hopefully elsewhere.  If we have enough interested students (meaning 4 or more) we will start a weekly Drama team, Wednesdays from 4:30-5:30.  Call, Text or E-mail Charlie if you are interested.
