Junior High Scoop | April 2017

​. Hello everyone! We have had a great first month working with the Junior High Student. It has been so enjoyable getting to know all the students. We had the opportunity to meet many parents at the information meeting last month. For those of you who couldn’t make it, feel free to stop us at church and introduce yourselves! We also wanted to extend a huge thank you to all the students, parents and First MB staff for being so gracious and flexible as we transition into this position.

As the school year wraps up, we just wanted to highlight a few upcoming events. April 19 will be our last regular Wednesday night. This is the last opportunity for students to say verses. Students should have a list of 15 verses they have been working on memorizing. I have attached that list if yours has been misplaced. Students who are able to say or write out at least 10 of the verses to their small group leader will be invited to a special supper with Bill and Donna on Wed. April 26. We will not have regular Wednesday night activities that evening. Wed. May 3, we will spend the evening at All Star Sports and Wed. May 10 will be our Thanks Bill Night at church.

Looking ahead to summer, Jr. High Camp is coming up June 30 through July 4. Register online by May 11. We also have an evening at the lake scheduled for August 2. For all eighth graders leaving Jr. High , we will have “The Last Hurrah” on August 5. More information on both events will be coming soon. Additionally, we plan to have two other events this summer and we will pass on that information as soon as those events are scheduled.
Blessings,
Ryan and Kylie

ThanksBill Night

In May we will have a #ThanksBill Night at the church (date TBA). We will invite everyone who has been a part of the junior high ministry during Bill’s tenure — students and parents — to come share stories and honor Bill and Donna’s years of loving and leading students. It will be a huge night full of fun, and, of course, desserts! Look for details soon.

Summer camps is the CAN'T MISS event of the year! Every year 5 states and 30+ churches come together for one week of awesomeness separated in three camps Kids Camp (3 - 5 grade), Junior High Camp (6 - 8 grade), Senior High Camp (9 - 12 grade). Summer camp has been an experience where students are taken away from the distractions of home and place in an environment where they are encouraged to grow closer to each other and to God. First MB Students/Kids value camps as part of the kid/student's faith journey.

Wednesdays

6:30-8:15 p.m.

At First MB Church

We meet in the Junior High room for our opening then divide into small groups that meet in various locations around the church. Girls will be studying from a book titled “A Young Woman’s Guide to Making Right Choices” and the guys from a book titled “A Young Man’s Guide to Making Right Choices”. Both books should help students grow in their Christian lives. Then we end with 45 minutes of game time in the Activity Center or outdoors. Please consider joining a group and meeting with us on Wednesdays!

What is This Fundraiser?
The Dillon's Plus Card fundraiser is the easiest possible fundraiser for student ministry. We raised over $8,000 in 2016 just by people enrolling online and using their Dillon's Plus Card. The more people we enroll under "First MB Church" the bigger the piece of pie we get from Dillon's ($500,000 a quarter). So make sure you enroll your grandparents, friends, and anyone else!

power parent tip long

We will be ending each SCOOP with a Power Parent Tip. Feel free to email Pastor Kyle if you are looking for a tip on a certain subject!

Only 4 percent of the Millennial Generation are Bible-Based Believers. This means that 96 percent of Millennials likely don’t live out the teachings of the Bible, value the morals of Christianity and probably won’t be found in a church. This author goes deep to explain why read more.
