Mark Your Calendars

Parents, please mark July 8-14 on your calendars. This summer Jr. High Ministries is loading up the buses once again and heading off to an incredible life-changing week at Summer Camp. This year we are heading to Hume Lake Christian Camp. During our time at camp, students have a chance to hangout with their best friends, worship God with amazing worship leaders, study God's Word, and have great conversations with adult leaders and their friends. Everyday there will be free time that will include activities such as paintball, skate park, swimming, bike riding, fishing, and much more. This is one of the greatest activities we offer all year. We strongly encourage all 7th and 8th grade students to attend.
Wanna Go? Call Eric at 559-733-3966 ext 32 or bring in the registration form.

Compassion Child

A few weeks ago, I challenged the students to consider donating $1 a month to help support a child in Haiti. Her name is Fiby Ludia Snaelle Castin. She is 9 years old.
If we gather $32 dollars a month, we will provide food, education, Bible teaching, and much more. If you are a student and have not put in a dollar, I challenge you to do so.

Mothers Day in the Park

This Sunday there will not be a Junior High Service. Join your family in the park as we celebrate mothers day!

Jr. High Survey

This past Sunday I had the students fill out an end of the year anonymous survey.

Dealing with Bullies

I think that every students deals with bullying at some point of their scholastic career. Some (like me) have to fend off the bullies, some become bullies themselves. Neither scenario is good. So, these two articles deal with how to talk to your student about being or dealing with a bully. They're from a secular perspective, but they have some good practical advice in them.
