Eastview Parent Weekly, July 19-25

It's that time of year...our summer break is half over. 3 out of 4 summer trips and events are past. Our final trip, CIY's summer conference is right around the corners, just 6 short days away, and then...September. The weeks of August will go extremely fast. Our ministry team met on Saturday to talk about Jesus, to talk about youth ministry, to talk about Eastview and how those three things should be aligned. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous. At this point, I want to get through the next 6 weeks and start.

While the notes from our ministry team meetings are available for all to read (at right), here are some highlights from this past Saturday:

• It was officially decided that beginning this Fall, our youth group will be "split", with grades 9-12 meeting on Sunday nights and grades 6-8 meeting on Wednesday nights. Specific times and more details will be out in mid-August.
• Small Group Leaders for 2009-2010 school year:
• • Middle School-
  • John Mulholland
  • Rob Frederick
  • Steve Novak
  • Monna Kreher
    
  • High School-
  • John Mulholland
  • Megan Clark
  • Betty Dickerson
• Curriculum Plan for Fall/Winter
• • Middle School
  • “Scary, Gross and Weird Stories from the Bible”
  • High School
  • Gospel of Mark-The Person of Jesus
  • What it means to follow Him

In the meantime, I hope that you'll be praying for those going to Carbondale next week. I'm anticipating God working in a big way (which He does here) in the lives of those going. Pray from open hearts and minds, for sleep and rest and patience and encouragement.

As with our recent Kansas trip, you'll be able to follow along using the Twitter feed to the right starting next Sunday, at Noon.
