[RISE Weekly] Goodbye Week! 👋😢
The last week for our current 8th graders! Youth tomorrow @ Behnan's and Pancake Sunday! 🥞
Dear Parents,
We’ve got a great FINAL week planned for our 8th graders! It has been such a joy to preach Christ to them and watch the Lord work through them. This week, our entire ministry will celebrate them!
This is also the last week for some of our staff… We are sad to see them go but very excited for what the Lord has planned for them next! The Crain’s (Alex, Emily, & their sweet boy TJ) and the Galland’s (Ryan & Kaila) will be moving on to Children’s Ministry to take the lead on some exciting new opportunities once we get on the property! The Medina’s (Mason & Jenna) will be moving on to College Ministry for an exciting new leadership opportunity. I am so incredibly thankful for each of these friends – they have served our ministry so faithfully! Please be praying for them and their next steps!
YOUTH TOMORROW @ THE BEHNAN’S! 💥
Join us TOMORROW (5/10), from 6:30–8:30 PM at the Behnan Home (36750 Robin Scott St, Murrieta, CA 92562) for one final week with our current 8th graders!
I’m excited for ONE MORE Wednesday night with our incredible 8th graders! We’re going to have tons of fun, treats, gifts, paper plate awards, and one last sermon together. I couldn’t think of a better final charge than to keep Christ central in our lives. So, tomorrow we will dive into 1 Corinthians 2:2 where the Apostle Paul makes this incredible statement:
For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified.
PANCAKE SUNDAY 🥞
Our very last meeting with our 8th graders will be THIS SUNDAY (5/14) during 1st service with a PANCAKE BREAKFAST! 😋 We’ve got the pancakes covered but would love your help with bacon and orange juice!
If you’re able to bring orange juice or pre-cook some bacon at home and bring it to us, please contact Rachel Martinez: (951) 834-3693
I am so thankful for all of you 8th grade parents – it has been a great joy to walk alongside you in leading your students to Christ! I am still always available for whatever you and your students may need! 😊
See you tomorrow at the Behnan’s!
In Him,
Terrell

Last Week
Last Wednesday was our last normal Wednesday with the 8th graders. We played a game called Power Ball where the students were divided into 4 groups and each group had to follow the instructions for how many students hold a trash can and catch the balls that the staff threw into the air. It was a ton of fun! Then we sang worship and got to hear Mason talk about what the appetites of a Christian should be out of 2 Peter 1:1-10. It was a great time!
