The 2014-15 Confirmation Class had a retreat September 12-14 at Montreat Conference Center. They discussed baptism, Confirmation and the leap of faith they will be taking this year with their teachers and the Director of Youth Ministries. They participated in a biblical scavenger hunt and went rock hopping in the creek. Please keep these young people in your prayers during this year of study and reflection.

Middle School CROSS Mission Trip High School Take A Break Tuesday
All high school students are invited to participate in the weekly “Take a Break Tuesday” programs,
beginning Tuesday, October 7 in the Sardis House. We will gather from 6:30-7:30 for a time of Bible
study and personal reflection. We will study Paul’s letter to the church in Rome (the New Testament book of Romans) and learn how it applies to our
lives. Join us for this spiritually rewarding program!

Both the high school and middle school groups have enjoyed wonderful programs on Sunday evening in September. During the month, the middle school students spent a night getting to know the new 6
th grade
students, went out for ice cream, played human foosball, and had crazy water games. They studied biblical messages on teamwork and the importance of water in the Bible. High school students spent an evening getting to know one another, participating in a Slip ‘n Slide at David Abercrombie’s home, played Penguin Games, and served at Alexander Youth Network.
