$5 Deals are ALWAYS the best

I hope everyone is recovering well from the Lock-In this past week. We had over 30 students come out for a night of paper throwing, blind fold dancing, and loving everybody especially people who...

For those that were not able to make it, come and see Bro. Thom about a calendar. I will try and put a downloadable version of it online.

This calendar has many important dates coming up. For example, if you had a calendar you would know that the afterschool program starts on January 26th. You would also know that in February we have a mystery activity (which will be chosen by our Lock-In winner Morgan Chenot).

When you get the calendar I want you to look at three HUGE months this year: April, July, and September.

April will be our big fundraiser, as well as our Disciple Now.

July 5-10th is camp at J-Creek

September will be our Northern Kentucky Youth Revival - please start praying now for this one!

And finally...

We have already started a new fundraiser for camp this year. For every visitor you bring to The Point Service on Wednesday (at 7pm) you will receive $5 off your camp balance. So start inviting!!!

SHARP Group Members Wanted

Good afternoon everyone!

Just wanted to let you guys know that we started our SHARP accountability groups last night. If you were not able to join a group, please e-mail me at OakRidge.Youth@hotmail.com .

Also just another reminder that we are working on Days 1-5 this week (Day 1 today!).

SHARP

This summer, while at camp, we as a youth group experienced something amazing. During that week we saw a lot of spiritual and emotional growth among our students. One of the desires we had was to build upon that growth.
Enter SHARP groups.
Based on Proverbs 27:17, we are beginning our accountability groups this Sunday night at 6:00 pm (after band practice).
We had a similar program before (small groups) and on the surface it may look like the same program but our focus will be on something totally different.
SHARP groups will be specifically about growing as an individual through daily devotions, prayer, and transparent behavior.

If you feel like you have so much to say but nobody will ever listen, this will be a great group for you to join. You will be pushed to do things outside of your comfort zone, and will be expected/encouraged to keep up with your daily devotions given to you each week.
If you have any questions our first meeting will be this Sunday, September 26th at the Lighthouse.
