Luminous Student Ministries - Amelia Church of Christ

Hi guys,
Our annual event is back! Fall Youth Kickoff 2009 will happen on Friday night, September 11th at 5:00pm. We will meet at the church as we embark upon an evening of fun and memories that will last a lifetime.

The theme this year for our Kickoff is the Crossing. Anytime we are faced with a crossing in life, we have to make a choice and you’ll have plenty of choices to make on this night.

For dinner, we will play a game called Fast-Food Roulette. What that means is this: when everyone arrives at the church on that Friday night, we will place the name of every Fast-Food Restaurant that is located in the Eastgate Area into a hat. Then, we will randomly draw five places out of the hat and that will be the order that we will go to them in. However, the catch to this game is that you can only order One Item from each place and it cannot be an item you have ordered previously at another place. So, for example, let’s say I order a drink at White Castle, which could be the first name to come out of the hat. I better not get thirsty at the other four places because I’ve already ordered my one drink!

We will end up back at the Morrissey’s house to finish out the evening around 9:00pm. If you have any questions, you can e-mail me and I’ll respond to them promptly. We hope to see you there!

For those of you who don’t yet know, we have had to make a couple of changes in our schedule to accommodate the main church calendar and the school calendar. With that in mind, we are going to tentatively schedule NEXUS for September the 13th, and move Home Skillet to September 20th. Please see our Youth Programs Page for more details.

Today, I journey with the High School Students to Move, a summer conference to help them with their relationship to God. We are taking ten students (5 boys and 5 girls) to Indiana for the week.

Pray for the students as they deal with their struggles in life
Pray for God to break their walls down completely
Pray for wisdom for the sponsors as we build them up in encouragement
Pray for a spirit of peace amongst the group
Pray for our journey there and back
Pray for the leaders who are taking students all over the country
Pray for the programming to impact lives
Pray for the gospel to be clearly heard and received
Pray for a fire to be ignited in the hearts of our young people.

I’ll try to find a computer to give some small updates while we’re there.
