Where is your mission field?

As we have been talking about the meaning and purpose in life during our youth group devotionals, I hope that you have thought about how important your place is in your school. God has called you at this time in your life to go to school every day. And I believe he wants you to represent him and be a light for him. That is your mission. Are you willing to accept it?

For those interested we are challenging you to be a campus missionary. Please contact me ASAP to let me know if you want to take on this exciting challenge.

Also, this weekend we are having our annual campus missionary retreat at Assembly Park Camp in Lake Minnesuing, WI. The retreat will go from Saturday morning at 9am until Sunday afternoon at 5pm. We will have 4 meals, lots of fun and games, worship, powerful speakers, carpet ball, free time, speed ball, a bonfire, AND...the Christian rock band Lightswitch will be there to give you a free concert! That's right they are coming to our retreat to put on a concert for all our campus missionaries! It is going to be awesome! The cost of the retreat is $15, and you have to have a permission slip on file at Bayside. Get your money and your registration card in to me ASAP. In fact, you need it in by this Wednesday! So get it to me now!

Hope to see you all there this weekend. I can't wait!

Can you make a difference?

So yesterday we started a new series in our JR HIGH youth group called "You can make a difference." We will be talking all year long about how students can make a difference in this world. We are going to give opportunities, help train and equip you, and support you in any way we can to help you guys make a difference in YOUR world.

So that leads me to this question. A question for all the students in our youth group, whether you are in JR HIGH, AMP, or SR HIGH. Can you make a difference? Make a comment on this post and tell us how you can make a difference in this world. It can be anything, something small or something big. Our challenge to the JR HIGH group this week was to find 1 thing you can do to make a difference this week. So I now make that challenge to anyone in youth group. What is 1 thing you can do to make a difference this week?

Oh what a night!

Senior High youth group Sunday night was awesome. Thanks to everyone who came out. We had 33 students out, by far the most we've had on Sunday nights! We watched an awesome video, played capture the flag, had some good small group time, and talked through our theme for this fall - "Don't Waste Your Life!"

And we had a challenge for all students to become Campus Missionaries. For those of you interested in being a Campus Missionary we are having a training retreat on September 24-25 at Assembly Park Camp. The cost is only $15 and it will go from Saturday morning until Sunday evening. Anyone interested in being a campus missionary or anyone who has signed up to be a campus missionary is invited. 7th-12th grade. So get signed up today!

Plus, Erick Tunell (pictured above) was there.
