This Week @ FBCG: SYATP Edition

Good Tuesday morning!

I don't know about you folks, but I'm loving this fall weather...hope it lasts for a good while before winter hits us in the face with cold weather!  Here's what's going on this week in our student ministry @ FBCG!

1.  Tomorrow morning at school campuses across the nation SYATP will be taking place.  What is SYATP?  See Ya At The Pole has been around for almost 20 years now and it's a chance for our students to openly pray for their classmates, families, schools and nation around their flagpoles at 7:00 AM!  This is a great way for our students to take a stand for Christ so I encourage you as parents to encourage your kids to get up a little earlier maybe and get there!  I'll be leading worship for the event at Merrol Hyde and look forward to hearing how the event goes across the rest of our county!

2.  IGNITE is tomorrow night.  We'll take the second step in our Forward Motion series.  The goal of every Christian is to become more like Jesus (or at least that should be our goal).  But the problem comes when we think we're going to achieve that today.  It's a lifelong journey, a process, a walk.  Following Jesus is about the steps we take every day, and as Christians, we have divine help in taking those steps - the Holy Spirit.  What is the step God is asking you to take?  What's holding you back from taking it?  Those are some questions that we'll be walking through together tomorrow night in The Attic at 5:45!

3.  Generation Change is still going on every Sunday night in The Attic at 6:00.  Come hang out with Kathy and the crew as we continue studying how to live wisely with God's money!

4.  Our Unite 2012 retreat is only a few weeks away!!  The dates are Oct 12-14th and it's going to be awesome.  Our high school students are coming out in force but we need to encourage several of our middle schoolers to join us as well.  I know a retreat away from home can be a scary thing to a middle schooler, but I promise you, once they join us for a retreat they'll never look back!!  It's a great way for them to continue getting to know their fellow youth mates as well!!  Sign-up on the church website (fbcgoodlettsville.com/students) by October 1st with the $100 balance due on Sunday, October 7th.  I apologize for the letter not having gotten out to you guys in the mail just quite yet, but it will be out by the end of this week once we have all the information and details ironed out!

I hope you all have a great week!
