TODAY!
SATURDAY CHRISTIAN MUSIC DAY @ CAROWINDS
We're headed to Carowinds this Saturday at noon for fun and rides and then headed concert at the park palladium around 4:00 or so. The concert goes until 10:00. If we get a group of at least 15 going, we can get a group rate of $49 per person. We’ll need some drivers, too. Please respond to Barbara Guise if you’re interested. We need to secure tickets today! 
YOUTH 9:45 MUSIC TEAM
David Brinson is starting a new team of youth musicians to lead worship for the 9:45 am service and their first practice is tonight at 8 pm in Lingle Chapel. Join them to share your musical gifts with our congregation!
NEW YEAR CHECK LIST
I'm often asked how parents can help out our ministry so here are a few simple ways that you can make that happen:

THIS SUNDAY AT YOUTH GROUP
NEW SERIES ALERT!
Vital takes a look at what loving God, loving others, and loving life looks like and how it makes our lives better! Parents: join the conversation with some great questions from the series Parent Cue.
Sometimes following God feels a little complicated and it’s easy for it all to feel overwhelming. In this series, as we look at how Jesus kept faith simple, we’ll see that it’s really all about doing one thing—the greatest thing. Parent Cue available here.
PARENTS SOCIAL THIS SUNDAY
Drop off your youth at Youth Group and then head over to the Guises' home for your own social with drinks, appetizers, and fellowship! They’re just around the corner and you're welcome to hang out there until Youth Group is done at 6:30. Hope to see you all there and many thanks to the Guises for hosting!
ALSO IT'S SQUAD SUNDAY
We love friends and want to highlight some important friendships this Sunday! Two ways to participate:
  1. Bring a friend with you who isn't already part of a youth ministry!
  2. Coordinate outfits with your BFF! #twinning!
We'll have a special game for participating pairs or groups!
KEEP SINGING YOUTH MUSIC
Any youth vocalists who are interested in sharing their gifts with the congregation in worship are encouraged to stick around after Youth Group (6:30-7:30 pm in the Choir Room). Questions? Contact David Brinson.
