SEX/DATING Week 2

Wednesday Night was another great night in Middle School. It has been so exciting since we have moved into the Fusion Building.

I just want to take a moment to recognize the students that come early to setup. Ya'll really bring the entire night together. I really appreciate everything that you guys do and the amount of time you spend each week creating the Wednesday Night experience.

We discussed this week about the role of dating. Often students get involved in relationships that rule their life. It really becomes an idol that takes over every other area of their life. It is really important to make sure our dating relationships come next to our relationship with Jesus Christ.

8th Grade Road Trip Review

We had a great trip. We had 13 people go on the trip and it was the perfect amount. We set up a 27 inch HDTV in the van and we played Mario Kart on the Wii. I have to admit it looked really cool. We did a ton of different activities such as shopping, play video games and hiking. Every activity was a blast!

This year we took probably one of the most involved classes that we have ever had. These guys really have become ministers in the middle school ministry. Here is a video that shows some pictures of these students from the past 3 years.



Thanks 8th Grade

Middle School Student Band

Last night was awesome!

The CORR(our regular band) played "All over the World" and "I am Free and did a great job. We had a new lead vocal last night and she did a great job leading everyone. Jamie thanks for joining the team you have been a huge blessing. Everyone was having a good time worshipping God.

We also introduced a new band that has only Middle School Students playing and leading worship. They did an outstanding job. Tiffany, Karissa, Ally, and Kaylin lead with vocals, Cameron on drums, Jaxon on bass, Bryce on Lead Guitar, and Mikaila and Lynette on Keyboards. You guys are awesome!

Here is a video of the new band. Check it out.



The sound in the video in not really a good quality. The live version was much better.
