Harbor House Christmas Party

We have had some wonderful serving and outreach projects so far this year.  It all started last summer when 9 of our students went on a short missions trip to Minneapolis.

We also have served a meal to the homeless at the Union Gospel Mission in Duluth AND helped volunteer at the Special Olympics bowling tournament.

This Saturday is our next outreach and service project.  We are going to have a Christmas Party with children at the Harbor House.  The Harbor House is a homeless shelter in Superior.  There are different families each month that live in the house until they can find a place to live.  We are going to hang out with their children so the parents can get away for an afternoon.  We plan to play games and have lots of Christmas fun!

We plan to meet at the church at 2:15pm.  The event will start at 2:30pm at the Harbor House in South Superior.  We should be done by about 5:00pm and back to the church by 5:15pm or so.

If you are interested in being a part of this great opportunity, please contact Pastor Tom ASAP!

Bayside Bowl Results

Bayside Bowl IX was last Saturday and it turned out to be a great event!  We had about 40 students show up and there was lots of fun.  Dodge ball, nerf wars, video games, card games, pizza, cookies and of course - the football!

We had 25 players and 4 teams this year.  It was a great tournament once again.  The four teams competing were Well Oiled Machine, The Best Team in the World, Team Blaze and Beast Mode.  After playing each other once, there was a single elimination round and then a championship.  Well Oiled Machine and The Best Team in the World met in the championship game.  The Well Oiled Machine won the game 43-36 on a touchdown catch by Anthony Severson with 14 seconds left in the game.  It was Anthony's 9th touchdown catch on the day - a Bayside Bowl record.  Anthony (pictured above) was named the most valuable player.

We will have more pictures to come soon!

Thanks to everyone who came out.  It was a great day!

Pray for Deartis

We had a great Bayside Bowl on Saturday.  Many students showed up, the weather and activities were perfect and we had a great time.  Results of the football tournament will be posted later.

Did you read the story of Noah?

This last week at youth group we studied the story of Noah.  As we have been studying faith in Hebrews 11 we learned about Noah in verse 7:

"By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in holy fear built an ark to save his family.  By his faith he condemned the world and became heir of righteousness that is in keeping with faith."

We encouraged everyone to go back and read the whole story of Noah as found in Genesis chapters 6-9.  So did you get a chance to read it?

Our encouragement and take home from the story of Noah is to let our actions be obedient to God's call on our life and His holy word.

Because our actions define who we are.

So, who are you?

What has God blessed you with? And how are you using that to glorify Him?

These were some of the main questions discussed last night as Amos Tarfa shared with us at our youth group Bible study time.

We hope you enjoyed hearing Amos the last two weeks.  Remember, if you have questions please let me know and we can get them to him.

Also, if you didn't receive a copy of his book and you would like one - just let me know.  We have extra copies.

-PT

Talking about creation...

Last night we had a guest speaker for our Bible study - Amos Tarfa.  We continued in our study of faith in Hebrews 11 and Amos focused specifically on verse 3:

"By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God's command so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible."

There were many great issues that came up.  If you had questions or thoughts - bring them next week as Amos will be back to wrap things up.  A few things you could study if you are interested:

Hebrews 11:3
Genesis 1-2
John 1
Job 38-39

Or look up the law of non-contradiction!

We are looking forward to having Amos share again next week.
Hope to see you there!
