Big HOT Wednesday and Upcoming Opportunities




I want to fill you in on how God has been working in the lives of middle school students and then give you an update on what's coming up in The Mix! Last week we had Big HOT Wednesday! Over 125 middle school students attended! At least 20 of those were brand new students! We consumed 200 Chick fil-a spicy chicken sandwiches! It was a crazy night, but the best part was the work God did in the hearts of our students! Many students were moved to receive prayer from our adult leaders and prayer team members. We prayed with 8 students who accepted Jesus Chist as Savior! Praise God! He is lighting a fire in the hearts of our students!

Outpouring Worship Night @ Two Rivers Church - February 11, 7-9pm
I am encouraging all of our middle school students to attend this night of worship! We've been asking God to light a fire in our hearts. This night will be a perfect opportunity to practice passionately loving our God. Pastor Brad and I will be facilitating the evening, and our worship director Tae Cho will be leading the worship team. It's going to be a great night and I want all of our students there representing the next generation!

Sex Education for Parents - Wednesday Nights thru March 2, 7-8:30pm
It's not too late to join this series as Matthew Parsons educates and inspires you to raise young men and women who are able to make wise choices in our sexually-saturated culture. Matthew has been teaching abstinence education in local schools for five years. He also served as the creative director for Silver Ring Thing, which is a gospel-oriented approach to sexual purity for teenagers.

The program runs until 8pm, then there is prayer and Q&A for the final thirty minutes. Our small group leaders understand that we may have some parents running late over the next few weeks (small groups run from 6:30-8pm).

Purity Series @ The Mix
Over the next five weeks we will be talking about how to Live Pure! We will look at pursuing purity sexually (Feb 13), in our media intake and in our words. Please encourage your students to attend The Mix at 9am on Sunday mornings in The Shed! At the end of this series we will invite students to a fast from something that represents an area where they struggle with pursuing purity. I'll give you more info as we get closer, but I wanted you to know that invitation was coming.

Guys and Girls Events - March 5
We are planning a couple of great events for our guys and gals! You can be sure the boys will be shooting at each other in some way! And the girls will probably eat chocolate at some point in the evening. We'll send you something in the next few weeks providing times and details.

Feel free to contact me or anyone on our student ministry staff for more information!

Much Love!
Jon
