March 2006

Welcome to March--a month so special that they actually have a day dedicated to pinching people who don't wear green. Oh yeah, and there is a basketball tournament that is going to happen at some point too.

So here you go--a list of things you don't want to miss and an occasional reference to why they are so awesome.

March 2007:

Jr. + Sr. High Devotional (Thu. 3/1, 6:30-7:45p) - This will be our last night together for a while as we will return to split devotionals. Come join the celebration and weep your heart out over the parting of the students. Oh, we'll watch American Idol results afterwards and see if our brains actually liquify.

Super Servants (Sat. 3/3, 2-4p) – Come and serve with us as we minister to others in need. Meet at the building at 2p to help with preparation for our church’s annual mission trip to Honduras. In addition to cleaning, organizing, sorting, and packing, we will also help by contributing…so everyone needs to also bring with them a tube of toothpaste and a toothbrush.

Blitz Night (Sun. 3/4, 6:30-8p) – This month blitz night takes a brief return to its founding impulses as we will have a mystery meal at the building, but we promise that in spite of some interesting menu choices no one should get sick. Also included will be games and plenty of fun and fellowship.

Jr. High Devotional (Tues. 3/6, 6:30-7:45p @ Hill's)

Sr. High Devotional (Thu. 3/8, 6:30-7:45p @ Hill's)

Singing & Dessert (Sun. 3/11) – The entire church will be having a night of praise followed by some pretty amazing desserts. The youth will be joining in as we answer the call to “free food” with a great and resounding “yes!”

Jr. High Devotional (Tues. 3/13, 6:30-7:45p @ Hill's)

Sr. High Devotional (Thu. 3/15, 6:30-7:45p @ Hill's)

ILLUMINATE 2007 (Fri.-Sun. 3/16-3/18) – This is our minor youth rally for the spring and is hosted by the Rochester Hills church of Christ in Rochester Hills, MI. The cost is low, $10, but the experience will be memorable and lasting. Teens and parents are invited to this event which will also include a college visit and tour of Rochester College on Friday. We will be meeting at the church at 5:30am on Friday to leave for this trip, so be sure to set your alarms.

Jr. High Devotional (Tues. 3/20, 6:30-7:45p @ Hill's)

Sr. High Devotional (Thu. 3/22, 6:30-7:45p @ Hill's)

LiveAlive Praise & Worship (Sun. 3/25, 6-7:30p) – Dos Maquinas makes its triumphant return and all are invited to attend and bring friends to the building to enjoy another night of praise and worship as we give God all the glory for the life he has given us through his Son. Expect music, singing, praise, and prayer as we lift our hearts to Christ.

Jr. High Devotional (Tues. 3/27, 6:30-7:45p @ Hill's)

Sr. High Devotional (Thu. 3/29, 6:30-7:45p @ Hill's)

Movie Night (Fri. 3/30, 7-10p) – All youth are invited to the Hill house to watch a movie and discuss its relationship to their faith and their everyday living out of that faith. Free popcorn and soda. Invite your friends.


Okay, so if that is not enough to get you completely fired up, here is a picture that should help:



If that didn't work, it might be hopeless.

Remember, God Loves You and So Do I.
