Halloween Week News

Hey! This week gets really, really crazy: Kayla Grace will be here on Monday! So this week I'll be out of pocket for a portion of the week, including Wednesday. This week Garrett and Stephen are bringing the Word and finishing the series we've called "Intense" with Image. What's your image and what defines you? It's really awesome and Garrett and Stephen are going to bring some amazing teaching!

Also, for those of you that don't know, the youth band is working on a Christmas album which will be out in a few weeks! This is a smaller fundraiser for the 2010 Mission Trip and is also an amazing way to do outreach. So start getting your family and friends interested in this CD. It's completely free but we're asking for minimum donations of $5 per CD. If everyone can get donations for at least 10 CDs we will be half of the way to our goal!! More info will be available in the coming weeks!!

Lastly, when I get back we're starting something brand new. I'm really, extremely, undoubtedly, uncontrollably excited about: its called "The Initiative" and it starts in two weeks. Call up your friends, Facebook it, Tweet it, whatever you need to do and get them here to experience "The Initiative"!

The Hydrant

This week we're worshiping at The Hydrant! Be there around 6p.m. and grab your favorite drink...don't worry about food because we're having it catered. We're plugging in upstairs and worshiping out loud, declaring that Jesus is everything to us!

Someone asked me last Wednesday night why it was that we do worship at places like the Hydrant. They asked me why that was so important. Here's my answer: 1. it's fun!, 2. we can get tunnel vision and think that we can only worship God if we're at a church building. Whatever happened to unashamedly worshiping God wherever we are? Whatever happened to taking worship to the public and proclaiming Him out loud? Oh no, we're gonna get loud and we are definitely worshiping God unashamed. 3. It's FUN!!

What to bring:
1.your Bible
2.money for drinks (menus available at the Youth Hut)
3. friends
4. your loud, excited, heart-pounding-for God

Worship at The Hydrant lasts from 6p.m. to 8p.m. The Hydrant is located on Oak Street by Ethan Allen Interiors on the Square. See you there!
