Our New Pastor and Your Student
|
On April 9th, George Wright will be preaching
In View of a Call at both of our worship services.
Our search committee, which has put in countless hours praying and searching for our next pastor,
sees many strong qualities in George that they feel make him a great fit to be our next pastor. They believe our congregation will see exactly what they have as we move toward voting on George as our next pastor.
With the dawn of a new pastor comes exciting movement, growth, and change - all of which are needed to be a healthy and vibrant church. What's cool for us as a student ministry is that George has roots in our church, as one of his earliest ministry related jobs on a church staff was serving as an intern in our very own student ministry.
So what does this all have to do with your student? I believe that this could be a great entry point for you, your family, and your student to get fully involved. So many times I hear that a hindrance to getting involved is the unfamiliarity or newness of a church that is intimidating. With the transition to a new pastor, this means that everyone - visitors and members - will all be on the same plane of newness and unfamiliarity - intimidation neutralized.
For the past seven years we have grown as a student ministry and I expect nothing less with George as our pastor. We would love for your student to be a part of our ministry, so if ever there was a great time for them to get plugged in, the time is now!
In Christ,
Pastor Frank
Frank Shimkus III

Fusion
We are continuing in our study of the book of Exodus throughout the remainder of the semester. This has been a great book to go over and see the way that the events of the past show us more about who God is and His plans for mankind. Our next night in Exodus will be April 26th.
Upcoming Dates:
April 5th (One Wednesday), 19th, and 26th
*No Fusion on April 12th

We are having our second annual Game Show Extravaganza on April 19th. This night was a lot of fun last year as students competed in different Game Shows to try and make it to the final round and win the grand prize. This year is going to be even bigger and better, so be sure your student is there and invites a friend!
