[RISE Weekly] Changes for the New Year‼️
No youth this Sunday, back next week with a New Years Party! New Wednesday Night TIMES!
Dear Parents,
What a sweet time it has been to celebrate the birth of Christ this season! It was a joy to see some of you at our Christmas services. Now, as we approach the new year, I hope that our students would make some awesome resolutions for Christ. Like these from Jonathan Edwards:
1. Resolved: I will do whatever I think will be most to God’s glory; and my own good, profit and pleasure, for as long as I live. I will do all these things without any consideration of the time they take. Resolved: to do whatever I understand to be my duty and will provide the most good and benefit to mankind in general. Resolved to do this, whatever difficulties I encounter, and no matter how many I experience or how severe they may be.
2. Resolved: I will continually endeavor to find new ways to practice and promote the things from Resolution 1.
I’m excited for a new and fun year with your students! 2023 comes with some NEW changes & updates that you need to know:
NEW START & END TIMES FOR WEDNESDAY NIGHTS! ⏰
From now on, our Wednesday Nights will be from 6:30–8:30 PM! This gives a little more time for student-athletes to make it to youth after their practices and it also gives you parents more time if you have both High School and Jr High students to drop off!
How we use our time will also be slightly different. 6:30–7 PM will be our “HANGS” time where students can come hang out with other students and staff, play games, have treats, etc. This time is meant for students and staff to build relationships with each other! Then, from 7–8:30 PM, we will have our “official” meeting which includes a giant group game, worship through song, sermon, and small groups!
This time change is for BOTH Jr High and High School ministries!
NEW YEAR’S PARTY NEXT WEEK – JAN. 4TH 🎉👔🎩💃
Join us as we kick off the new year and semester this upcoming Wednesday, January 4th, from 6:30–8:30 PM (new time) @ the Behnan Home (36750 Robin Scott St, Murrieta, CA 92562)!
We’re having a New Year’s PARTY! Students should come dressed FANCY – come in your best suits, ties, dresses, top hats, trench coats – whatever you think is fancy! We’ll have fun playing some games, enjoying some treats, and hearing from the Word of God as we’re encouraged to pursue Christ this new year!
