More Than A Logo – Week 1
We’re trying something new with this series. Bro. Mark was videoed teaching Week 1 and the video is posted below along with the link to the note sheet to follow along.
Diaper Drive Challenge Details
Our Diaper Drive kicked off last with the details of the challenge being revealed.
The Diaper Drive runs from yesterday, April 19, until Sunday, May 15. The challenge is to collect as many diapers sizes 4, 5, & 6 and pull-ups for this summer’s church wide mission trip to Copper Basin.
The challenge pits boys vs. girls to see who will bring the most packages of diapers. The winner, announced Tuesday, May 17, will enjoy a laser-tag outing.
Note: When delivering diapers, please use a permanent-marker indicating Boy or Girl on the package so we know how to allocate the packages. Contact Bro. Mark for more details.
New Bible study for high schoolers coming March 1.
Relationships are one of the best parts of life and also can be one of the frustrating things in life. How do we navigate relationships both friendships and dating? Beginning Tuesday, March 1, we are going to begin a 5 week study on relationships with our high school students. Bring a friend or 50 as we look at friendships.
Upcoming Items
It’s hard to believe D-Now was just last weekend. As I have stopped to think about the weekend over the course of this week, it continues to become clear to me that students all over Clarksville want to hear from God in any way they can. There is a desire to live for God despite our fleshly shortcomings that is refreshing and encouraging.
I’m looking forward to what God has planned for 2011. Coming up is our 3rd annual Cafe AMPED, Tuesday night, Jan. 25. We turn our gathering area into a coffee shop for a night of relaxation, coffee, food, and this a special musical guest in Lydia Walker. All students grades 6-12 are invited to attend!
Also coming up is the deadline for camp deposits. Deposits are $50 per student and are non-refundable. Contact Bro. Mark for more information and scholarship opportunities.
Lastly, for your enjoyment is our D-Now wrap up video.
Getting AMPED for 2010-2011
This year, 2010-2011, is going to be an exciting year for AMPED Student Ministries! Our new Sunday School year begins this Sunday, Sept. 12. We have an awesome team of teachers ready to take the reins from last year’s outstanding group and continue to teach, minister, and disciple our students. New this year is our 6th grade curriculum. We will using Group’s Grapple curriculum and our teachers are excited about it! Very interactive with a web group our students have the option of signing up for. We begin our 5th year with Student Life Bible Study. The Christ, Community, and Ignite studies will be taught in their respective classes.
This past Tuesday, Sept. 7, began our third year of AMPED. We have tweaked it yet again. New this year:
- Prayer Time prior to AMPED – AMPED does not officially start until 6:30PM on Tuesday’s; however, if students want to come early, there will be a prayer room open from 6:00-6:20PM. E6, our youth room, will not officially open until 6:15. This is a designated time for prayer and not for socializing.
- Student Leader Teams – This year we are making a concerted effort to include our students in the happenings of AMPED each week. Students have the option to sign up for a variety of teams that serve certain functions on Tuesday nights. The teams are greeters, calling visitors, running the sound board, running the computer, with more to come.
- AMPED – is our Tuesday nights with Small Group studies based on gender and grades. Our High Schoolers will be studying Colossians while our Middle Schoolers will be studying various topics from prayer, the armor of God, and more this year in their small groups.
- AMPED Overload - New this year on the last Tuesday night of each month beginning in October. AMPED Overload is an evening with no small groups but a group activity either as the whole group or as Middle School and High School groups. Our prayer is for students to bring their friends to experience Christ through a variety of ways. October’s Overload will be our third annual Praise-n-Prayer service. Watch for more information to come.
- AMPED Out – Closing out our new stuff this year is AMPED Out. The first Wednesday of each month beginning in October, teams of adults and students will be going out making visits and sharing Christ. Our prayer is to teach, show, and mentor our students in sharing their faith and how to make visits. Our goal is developing leadership habits for students that will last well into their adult years. Space is limited for AMPED Out.
Be in prayer not only for our adults as they lead our students into a closer relationship with Jesus Christ but also for our students as they learn, grow, lead, and share Christ with their friends.
This is going to be an AMPED UP year!
