Student Life Tour and Double-Kick Ball

It was an exciting weekend for the X-treme Disciples Youth Group! It was such a fun and meaningful time at the Student Life Tour. I thought it was incredible to see that many students gathered together to worship God and learn more about his incredible ways. We were moved with the great music, the cleaver skits, and the powerful words from Francis Chan. I know I for one will never take it for granite that I am standing on a fire-water ball!

If you were at youth group on Sunday night, you were one of the first people in the world to play our new game. Double-Kick Ball! Does it make any sense? Probably not. But it sure was a lot of fun. Next week we may really have to come up with some rules for that game.

We also talked about some new activities coming up. Don’t forget to be thinking about fun games and activities for the Youth-Led Lock-In on April 3. We will need all kinds of crazy activities for the new kids.

We also discussed a time to go to the park and hand out lunches. This has been a really great activity in the past, so make sure that you vote in the poll to determine what date works for you best.

I look forward to seeing all of you on Sunday!

I wanted to give you all some more details about the Student Life Tour this weekend. This Friday we will meet at the church at 4:45 pm and will be leaving at 5pm. We will be staying at the Comfort Suites located at 2122 Tomball Pkwy on Friday night. (Telephone number for the hotel is 281-370-2727) We will be back at the church around 5:30 pm on Saturday. If you haven't paid for the tour please give money directly to the church. Tickets are $49 dollars at this point. You will need spending money for each dinner, breakfast, and lunch. There are things to buy at the conference, books, t-shirts, etc. Bring your camera, Bible, and positive attitude. Let me know if there are any questions. We have Travis and Jeanette Rogers as a our chaperons.

Soup and Super Bowls

Whether you were a Pittsburg Steelers fan or not, Sunday February 1, was indeed a super Sunday. Through donations from our church the youth raised $1,714 for the Christian Coalition Service Center through the Souper Bowl of Caring. It was hard work testing all of the different delicious soups and so the X-treme Disciples had to celebrate that night by having a Super Bowl Party at the home of Caryn and Paul Williams. It was a fun time of sharing and fellowship. And although there were a handful of disappointed Cardinal’s fans, we all had great time.
It was really fantastic to see the participation and the generosity of our church. From the time that it takes to make the soups, to the selfish giving from our congregation it is great to see how the body of Christ comes together.
