I was looking over the upcoming events for our Youth Ministry, and I realized there were bunches of them. Since teenagers are not known for being the best messengers, especially when things get complicated, I thought it might be a good idea to share them with you here, (plus you might be interested in some of them). Let's just take them in order:

First, this Friday, April 9th, we are going bowling in Waco! We'll be leaving the church at 5:30. Try to eat dinner before you come, because bowling alley food is usually pretty expensive. If you want to bowl one game bring $10. If you want to bowl two games bring $15.

Second, this Sunday, April 11, at 4 pm we are having an information meeting about our Youth Summer Trip. If you are a youth, a guardian, or someone interested in being a sponsor on the trip be sure to attend. We are going to Dallas, June 22-26. While there we will be serving at the Shoes for Orphan Souls warehouse, attending the BGCT Youth Evangelism Conference, and having a fun day at Six Flags over Texas. It should be a super awesome week! If you want to know more about what you're getting yourself into before the trip, you can check out Shoes for Orphan Souls by visiting their website www.shoesfororphansouls.org/ and the YEC at their website www.bgct.org/youthevangelism/. Be sure to attend the meeting Sunday to get all the info you'll need (it's non-commital, it's just getting information), but if for some reason you are unable to attend, get in touch with me, and I'll give you the hook up.

Third, the Ginomai Weekend is right around the corner, April 16-18! If you haven't signed up yet, you should soon, because it is going to be an awesome weekend of worship and small groups. It will be a lot like a DNOW for the whole church, except you get to sleep in your own bed!

Last, but not least, the Gatesville Area Student Ministries (the group that puts on our area DNOW) will be hosting a Spring Concert at CCC May 21. The concert will feature Seventh Day Slumber, DecembeRadio, and Kiros. If you'd like tickets, let me know. They're $20 each.

So there you have it. As always, if you have any questions, feel free to ask!
