[RISE Weekly] Camp Scholarships, Star Wars Night, Promotion Dates!
Star Wars Night TOMORROW @ FBC Warehouse! Camp Scholarship Applications NOW OPEN! Important dates for departing 8th grade and incoming 6th grade!
Dear Parents,
It’s a BITTERSWEET MONTH as we prepare to send off our amazing 8th grade crew as well as some really awesome staff as they pursue other great ministry opportunities. The sweetness will come as we WELCOME a, from what I can see, HUGE incoming 6th grade crew as well as a few super-extra-cool-and-faithful NEW STAFF! Read on to be prepared for this IMPORTANT month!
CAMP SCHOLARSHIPS NOW AVAILABLE!
Our great desire is to send every student to camp who wants to be there! Don’t let money be an issue – our faithful and generous church family have given us funds for camp scholarships. Fill out a CAMP SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATION now using the button below! Send it to all of your Jr High friends and family who are wanting to come but maybe can’t afford the cost!
THIS WEDNESDAY – STAR WARS NIGHT
MAY THE 4TH BE WITH YOU! Students should come dressed in all their Star Wars gear tomorrow night (I’m bringing my Yoda backpack) as we have some fun with this classic theme night! Our night will still run similarly – games, praise, sermon, and small groups! Also, we’ve got JAMES THOMAS back with us from Ukraine! 🙌 See you tomorrow night! Same time, same place, meeting details at the bottom of this email!
STUDENT TRANSITIONS
The time is near... Current 8th graders are sadly leaving us and incoming 6th graders are joining us this month! Here’s the plan:
FOR DEPARTING 8TH GRADERS:
May 11 is their last Wednesday Night with us! We will have a special Cruise-themed Send Off Party! Everyone should come dressed as if they were about to board a cruise ship! We will have some fun playing games, giving awards and gifts, and I’ll give one final short encouragement as they head to High School. THIS NIGHT IS FOR EVERYONE but focused specifically on celebrating our 8th graders.
May 15 is their last Sunday with us! We will have a special Pancake Sunday as we enjoy one final Jr High meeting together!
May 18 will be their first Wednesday Night in High School Ministry! Make sure you’ve joined their email list – they are having a parent meeting on this night if you can make it!
FOR INCOMING 6TH GRADERS:
May 18 is their FIRST Wednesday Night with us! Starting then, they are welcome to join us every Wednesday Night and Sunday Morning (May 22 is their first Sunday Morning with us during 1st service)!
May 18 is ALSO our NEW 6TH GRADE PARENT DINNER! If you are a parent of an incoming 6th grader, join us before youth, from 5-6 PM, for an informational dinner as we give you the run down on all that we do as well as introduce you to your student’s discipleship leaders! You are also welcome to stay after dinner to observe your student’s first youth night with us! PLEASE RSVP USING THE BUTTON BELOW!
It is the greatest joy to come alongside you in discipleship! Ready for an exciting new month and semester!
In Him,
Terrell

Last Week
Our game last week was Snap, Crackle, Pop, and it was so fun to watch the kids all participate! Then we sang in worship to Yahweh and heard an awesome panel answer questions that the students had been submitting all month. There had been a ton of questions submitted and time did not allow for all of them to be answered, but the ones that were addressed were incredibly helpful to the students.
