August 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.

Summer Breakaway is our MAIN EVENT!  It is the one event that students talk about all year long.  Don’t be left out of the story.  This year we are talking CHAOS.  The services are going to be bolder, more relevant and more creative than ever before.  The band has some intense sets picked out and this year we are adding a customizable plan called PITS (Personal Interest Tracks).  You choose what YOU want to learn about.  Not to mention some other new events like the STRONG MAN COMPETITION, SAND CASTLE MANIA and STAR SEARCH!  We will wrap things up with live worship on the beach under the stars.  You will not want to miss it.  Register here before it is too late.

We had the priveledge to have these guys play at Breakaway last year.  They are incredibly talented and love Jesus.  I am thrilled that we are on their CD release tour.  They are one of those bands where we will say we knew them when…

Don’t miss Meet the Sky April 21st at 7:00 at Alive Youth Ministries.

We know him as Savior, we know him as the son of God but do you know the man that is Jesus?  Take a journey with us for 4 weeks as we see him as the party man, miracle man, radical man and the compassionate man.

BTW!  Did you know we started Small Groups back up?!  MS Small Groups are at 7:30 and HS small groups are at 6:30 and 8:30.  Join one!

UPDATE: after week 1 over 45 students prayed to receive Jesus as savior and over 50 attended small groups!  Keep it up!  Baptism is in 4 weeks.

Better location, Better Beach, Better Experience…

June 14-19; $250; Crown Reef Resort, Myrtle Beach

This year you will choose from tons of PICS (Personal Interest Courses) and PIGS (Personal Interest Games) to provide a more specific event tailored to what you want/need.  Tons of awesome worship, teaching, fun and sun and a good bit of free time to hang with your friends.

This year’s theme is CHAOS.  Why CHAOS?  Because too many of you live a life pegged in the red.  So we are going to discover how to bring peace to your hectic life.  It is poised to be a life changing experience…don’t miss it.

Thanks and good luck.
