Alive Youth Ministries is going to do a series loosely based off the book PRIMAL by Mark Batterson. This month we will look at what the character of God looks like when it is boiled down to its rawest. We will do so by looking at some characters in the old testament. Hopefully it will be a fun journey to discover at it’s root what Christianity is all about.

Ecclesia/Starting Over
August 3, 2010
This new series for High School is a look at the church as Jesus set it up and how we are to “be” the church. Each week there will be an action step to gently nudge you to becoming the radicals that Jesus deserve. Don’t miss a service this August.
Week 1 – Share the Story
Week 2 – Help the poor
Week 3 – Care for the broken hearted
Week 4 – Feed the hungry
The Middle School team is erasing our perceptions of what the Church is and replacing it with what God’s word says it is.
Starting Over
week 1- You think: See the world like Jesus
week 2- You pray: Pray for the world like Jesus
week 3- You talk: Speak in the world like Jesus
week 4- You live: Live in the world like Jesus

Food Fight for Hunger
July 17, 2010August 28th at 11:00 in the Pointe North/Bilo parking lot we will have the city’s largest food fight EVER! Well I don’t really know that for sure because they don’t keep those kind of records however, it will be huge! Dozens of gallons of colored mashed potatoes for a massive food fight. The cost for entry is food for the food pantry. The amount of food you donate will determine the amount of food you get as your arsenal. There will also be food for sale and all proceeds going to the Community Impact food pantry.
