Weekly Youth Update: 6/8-6/14


This week, we will begin our summer with our Start of Summer Celebration! We’ll have pizza and snacks provided as well as games and a time of devotion. We hope that you’re able to make it out to the Loft of the Family Life Center from 6:30-7:30, Wednesday night, for this time of fellowship! Gym opens at 6:00 beforehand for anyone wanting to hang out!

From Wednesday, June 10, to Friday, June 17, the Homeland Park Youth will join Southside Baptist Church and other area churches for COLA WARS!!!!!! Last year, this was an incredible time for us as we fellowshipped over great biblical teaching, worship, lots of food, and incredible games. Students will be divided into two teams, Sprite and Sierra Mist, to see which team can bring home the championship! To go with our group, please arrive to the church at 5:30 each night to arrive on time at Southside Baptist Church in Anderson!

Our church is hosting Vacation Bible School from Monday, June 22, to Thursday, June 25! Students who have just finished 6th-12th grade will be volunteering. Students who have just completed 5th grade will be attending VBS as participants.

On Saturday, June 26, the youth will head to Six Flags for a day of thrills and fun! The cost for the trip is $30. To attend, they must have the appropriate forms signed and attend 70% of the Wednesday nights from now through July 22. A $15 deposit is due by July 8.

Below is a schedule of our summer activities! We pray these events grow us closer to the Lord and continue to deepen relationships. Also, remember our Wednesday night meeting times will still be each week, from 6:30-7:30! Our regular Wednesday night meetings will be just as exciting as the summer socials!

Confession, Reflection and The Lord's Supper

Yesterday, our church observed the ordinance of the Lord''s Supper or Communion as some call it.  Our church is blessed to have a committee that prepares this for us on every fifth Sunday.  This practice is designed to take us back in our hearts and minds to that dreadful night where Jesus sat at a table with His disciples to prepare them for His pending crucifixion .   The purpose of the Lord's Supper is not for us to go through the motions, but to remember all that Christ did for us.  His body was broken and blood was shed for the forgiveness of our sins.  Communion is a time to reflect, appreciate and give honor to Jesus for what He endured for us. This ordinance is not for everyone.  This is only to be taken by those who are believers and accepted Jesus as their ultimate forgiver and leader.  To partake in this service in an unworthy state is sin. 1 Corinthians 11:27 (NLT) 27 So anyone who eats this bread or drinks this cup of the Lord unworthily is guilty of s

The Wondrous Cross

Attention all! As you drive by or visit our church, take a moment to admire the beautiful cross located to the right of our main entrance. This Easter season, we'll be using this cross to commemorate the special days leading up to Jesus' glorious resurrection. Look for the color of the sash to change each day, reflecting the significance of the holy week. A big thank you to Sherry, Ann and Jimmy for making this beautiful cross possible! To God Be The Glory!
