Two Weeks Out...

In just two weeks we'll be gathering for our first 707. How exciting. Be praying for students at the surrounding highschools and the friends of our current group. We want to build a RELATIONAL ministry in which we can share our love of Jesus.

Minutes from tonights meeting...
Project Hangout Ideas: Invite kids to do what you love...find kids who love the same thing. If you golf every Tuesday, find some guys that would love to do that. Hear their story and meet them on their turf.

707 Themes for Fall:
October - Truth...telling the truth, Knowing and sharing the truth, Seeing yourself truthfully as God made you
November - Faith...faith in yourself, faith in God, others who had faith in you
December - Strength/Perseverance - resisting temptation, standing up for what you believe in, finding or sources of strength

October meeting to be held at the Godfreys
November mtgs at the Levegoods

Meeting starts at 5:30 at Mark and Anne's house - dinner and run through of the night. Please be there at 5:30 so that we can leave for 707 prepared!

We will have flyers on Sunday to give to kids to pass out at school.
Be thinking of when you would like to give your testimony (based on the themes above)

9/2 Leader Mtg Minutes

Here's a place we can post our thoughts, ideas, and give feedback. I'm so excited about this ministry and am praying for all those students that will be reached with God's love.
Here's notes from what we talked about last night (of course I didn't actually start writing anything down until we were almost done)
  • Leader Mtg at 5:30 on each Tuesday before 7:07...We'll have good food for dinner and be able to spend time preparing for the evening and praying for kids
  • Colin is coming up with good secular songs to start the evening off right at 7:07...maybe we'll even have a count down of sorts to lead into it...??
  • Jason and Dave are working on skits with the brilliant "texting" idea as an underlying theme throughout.
  • Did we decide that we needed a theme "scope and sequence" for the 6 wks to tie in the skit and the testimony? If so, Mark--get on that!
  • Intro of new kids...something new and non-cheese related =) Writing out embarrasign facts...having new kids write one fact - but maybe not even using that
  • Small groups sign up will be week 2...

I was thinking about that "new kid" thing. We should wait until the 2nd week to intro new kids b/c then this is new for everyone and it's not like the geneva crowd and then new kids. Everyone will feel like they are new - then intro kids on the 2nd wk that missed wk 1. But we could still do that intro game the first night with a few random kids -

We will meet again in 3 wks...9/23 - 6-8pm again at our house (unless someone else has a different idea) Hopefully we will have many things done using this site so that the meeting can be finalizing ideas instead of brainstorming ideas =)
thanks guys,
anne

Be praying for:
The geneva kids we know
Their friends that we don't know
The hearts of kids that will be in small group
Homes will be opened to us
Parents of these kids
