DNOW Preview Launch Tonight

There is a DiscipleNow preview launch tonight Wednesday, November 7, 2012 at FBC Clarksville’s Faith Sanctuary from 6:30 p.m.-8:00 p.m..  There will be a time of worship with the Justin Tucker Band.  We will introduce the theme and what this year’s study will cover.  We will also be introducing some social media aspects for D-Now.

Some of you might be saying what is DiscipleNow!  D-Now is a weekend of study for teenagers hosted by FBCSB. Students will be engaged in bible studies, fellowship, missions, and corporate worship.  The CBA churches have partnered together for the last 3 years to hold an associational wide D-Now weekend.  We find that it helps build unity among student ministries.

This will be a great night of worship and fellowship with fellow students from across the area.  Let us encourage you if you have not participated in a D-Now or just interested in what that might look like in your church come to the Launch event on Wednesday night to get a taste of what D-Now is all about.

As a result of Wednesday night’s rally, AMPED for Tuesday, November 6, will not meet. Please meet at the Faith Sanctuary at 6:15 so we can enter and sit together as a group. Transportation will not be provided by FBCSB. Each student must provide their own transportation to and from the Faith Sanctuary.

See You At The Pole – Sept. 26

Tomorrow morning, students around the nation will gather at their schools’ flag pole to pray, to seek the presence of God, to worship our Savior, and to take a stand that they are not ashamed to be a follower of Christ. Be in prayer for boldness and for the gospel to go out among the schools as students take a stand and pray.

The Race – July 23-27

Welcome

This coming Monday, July 23, begins The Race from 6-9 PM for all students who have completed the 6th-12th grade for the 2011-2012 school year. This year we will race to visit 5 of the world’s greatest natural wonders while at the same time learning about encounters people have had with God and saw for themselves His amazing power.

Missions/Ministry Emphasis

This year’s Missions/Ministry emphasis will be a canned food drive to support Crossland Avenue Baptist Church’s food pantry ministry. Each Saturday, Crossland Avenue feeds and provides other items for just over 100 people. Each time someone comes through their doors, their physical needs are not only met but they have a chance to encounter God for the first time or the first time in a long time. We have been praying for Crossland Avenue since this past year’s D-Now.

New This Year

As you register for The Race you will be placed into 1 of 4 teams to compete for points and grand prize on Friday. Points are obtained by bringing canned good, your friends, and your Bible. On Friday night, there will be a Fuge-inspired Mega-Relay which will pit all 4 teams against one another for some good ole-fashioned friendly competition, crazy games, a chance to get dirty/wet, and just good ole fun to be had by all. Each team will develop their team name through the week as well as the possibility to develop a flag and/or other items. Trust me when I say you do not want to miss this week!

We look forward to seeing each of you next week and remember to bring a friend or 50!

(More) Trouble with Texting

For years, parents and teachers have wondered if texting was negatively affecting teenagers’ grammar. According to several recent studies, that particular worry might be the least of their concerns.

It’s teens’ driving habits, sleep patterns, and relationships that are being affected by texting.

In a new blog, Jonathon McKee and David R. Smith discuss recent studies on teens and their texting habits. Very information for not only parents but also youth workers. What are your thoughts?
