Summer Camp! [or Best Week of your Life]

Last year we headed up to YMCA of the Rockies for Summer Camp and we are returning! We will rejoin Student Life to have this kind of rockin good time. Both Jr. High and High School will head up the mountain together. We will spend the week of June 7th – 11th having a blast, hanging out, playing games, worshiping, learning about God, making friends, free time, and eating camp food! Come join us. We would love it. The theme this year is Re based on Micah. Come join us as we are hanging out to kick off the summer right.

7th Graders!!!

Not those of you in 7th grade as of now. You will be done within a month and reach the incredible maturity to be called 8th graders but these are the new 7th graders. The ones that are ‘graduating’ from elementary school. No more nap time and recess rather welcome to the Student Ministries where you will have fun, grow in your faith, and double in size over the next few years! We are glad you are joining us! Come join us at this special event just for you.

Here comes Summer!

And oh isnt she beautiful…

I am wearing flip flops and shorts right now…signs that summer is on its way, and it will be here before you know it. Summer is a great time filled with warm weather and more importantly awesome opportunities to connect with friends both new and old! So as the school year winds down and you trade your backpack and books for bikes what are you going to make of this summer? I am really excited for Back Yards (Hanging out  at the park behind church during the week) as well as Summer Camp! You see here at the Student Ministries we have quite a few things going on this summer, not because we like to be ‘busy’, but because we want to be together, have fun together, and most importantly grow in Christ together. We will meet this whole summer on Sundays at 9:30 in the Youth Room, but we have a bunch of other opportunities to hang out. So take a look at what we have going on…and I challenge you to come…have fun with us…join us as we continue to connect with each other, mature in relationship God, and become unleashed to live out our faith. I hope to see you around!

XA Service Weekend

xa2009

Join us for XA Service Weekend and learn what it means to live Beyond Me.

XA or Chi Alpha is our weekend of service which is basically our in-house retreat. Students meet at church Friday and the weekend ends Sunday afternoon. During XA students will come together for a time of worship and opportunities of service. This year we have the privilege to work with a former Bear Valley Pastor Jim Watters and his ministry at http://crossroadsoftherockies.org We plan on helping and serving those in need that are basically our neighbors. This weekend will help students grow in their faith, serve others, and hopefully be a stepping stone for future ministry.

Online registration will be available soon!

new beginnings

Fall is officially underway as students grab their classes and head back to school we are riddled with new beginnings. One of the biggest being the new youth room or what we are going to be calling “The Basement”. As part of the For The Kingdom campaign here at Bear Valley Church The Basement looks awesome.

So here is the deal and schedule moving into the fall.

C-Groups have started - High School groups are in homes and Jr. High will begin meeting at church this next week on 8/25

Sunday mornings will now be at 9:00 for both Jr. High and High School and we will meet in the new room starting this next Sunday 8/23.

Sunday mornings will soon change though on September 13th when our church moves to 3 services. Service times are as follows 8, 9:30, and 11. All students will meet during the 9:30 service. The student ministries would love to sit with you for the main service during the 11:00 hour on the right side.

Keep your eyes pealed for more changes ahead. I look forward to these new beginnings and what God is going to do through the Student Ministries here at Bear Valley Church.

Josh.
