Staff Q&A Night!

Come tomorrow night for our annual Staff Q&A Night!  We've been collecting your questions over the last few weeks and we'll spend the evening playing games and hearing our awesome volunteers try to answer all of them!

So bring a friend and come ready for games and a chance to learn more about your leaders!

Also our Fall Retreat is next month (Oct. 21-23) and you can save $15 if you get your registration form (Click here for link) in by Oct. 5th!  Remember that we always have scholarships available (Click here) and everyone needs to have a Medical Release Form (Here) filled out which is good for all our trips through this school year.

All these links are also permanently posted on the right hand side of our website www.hccfuel.com.

 

Group Nite I

Tonight we'll start off a new type of night for us called Group Nite. Every other week we'll meet at our regular time (5:43-7:15pm) but after playing some games we'll break into smaller groups and go through Bible Studies together!

We'll start by breaking into these groups: 6-7th grade girls, 8th grade girls and all guys. If groups get too large (we hope we have this "problem"!) we'll consider breaking them down even more.

Our first series is on Identity and tonight we'll cover who we are. We'll talk about the different pressures students feel to act a certain way to certain groups they are around and what it would look like if we simply were who God wants us to be to all of them instead.

For Parents -

If you'd like to discuss this lesson with your student, here are some questions to consider asking:

1. We talked about the different "hats" we wear in life. What are some hats they see themselves as wearing? What are some hats you as a parent/adult wear?
2. We encourage them to see that God wants us to wear one hat everywhere we go - a follower of Jesus. What might it mean to wear that "hat" every day? How would life look different?

Pac Nite XIV!

It's back! Our annual Fall youth group kick-off is coming, are you ready? Who are you inviting?

For the last 13 years we've started our Middle School youth group by packing students into things!

How many students can fit into a hula hoop? In a fridge box? In a Worship Search Committee meeting? On a couch? And of course our infamous Maytag Relay (and much more!).

Come for a ridiculous amount of fun and don't forget to bring your friends!

Our youth groups are every Wednesday from 5:43-7:15pm for current 6-8th graders.

Summer Dessert THIS WEDNESDAY! 6:30-830

Our annual Summer Dessert is a mere day away!

Come bring your family and friends as we eat some sweets and see and hear what happened on all our trips this summer.

We'll see videos of the middle school and high school summer camps and mission trips as well as hear stories from students.

It's always great to be able to look back at the busy summer and see what God was doing all around us!

And you'll also get to hear about all the happenings this Fall - like Pac Nite next week!

P.S. We didn't break a World Record last week but we thank everyone for their help in laying down a couple thousand feet of pennies! Fun was had and we learned a ton in case we decide to try it again next year.
