Summer h2o

Just a quick reminder that we are having H2O this summer. The first meeting will be tomorrow night (June 18) with High School meeting at Seth Stanford's house and Junior High meeting at Jonathan and Jordan Rhodes' house from 6-8pm. We will give directions at Sunday School in the morning. Taz and Strawberry will be leading the groups so you can expect it to be great and unpredictable. The only thing that we are asking you to bring (besides your Bible) is some kind of snack food otherwise you will have to go without. We are looking forward to seeing you in the morning and tomorrow night.
Peace out,
R

Intersection Tonight

Just a reminder that we will be starting tonight at 6pm!! I know that this will be a major mental shift for most of you who are used to strolling in around 6:45 and nothing is happening yet...well tonight we are starting at 6pm even if it is for an empty room!! Also I wanted to let you know that tonight we will be heading over to Rosa's Cantina on Franklin after Intersection to enjoy some tortillas and tacos so make plans to join us for some hang time. We are continuing with our run through the parables tonight so be prepared to do story time!! See ya tonight!
Peace out,

Mission Trip and other bits of info

Hello my little chickens,

I just wanted to let you know as of Sunday night at 10pm there are exactly 5 spots for HS students and 3 for JH students on the mission trip. If you are still planning on signing up to go destroy some damaged churches in New Orleans then you need to get your money in quick!!!

Also we are getting ready for some fun at Youth Week at the end of the month. It is going to be our introduction of the incoming 7th graders to the HSM so we need to make sure that you older guys and gals are there. It's going to be a really fun week with paintball, bowling, lake day and a Texas Rangers/Houston Astros game. It will be the proverbial bomb of a week so make plans to be around then.

We will be starting up our summer version of h2o next weekend so be looking/listening for details at Intersection (which starts at 6 this week) on Wednesday night.

More info will be coming soon so keep checking in with us!!

Peace out,

Mavs tonight

Ekliva Dirk. i know i caused concern this morning telling the story about how i got punched in the face...but that didn't stop me from playing basketball, so if anyone wants to get taken to town (given consideration) then call me and we'll play.

i love you all, and once again. (I love Dirk.)

The Finals...

So tonight begins two teams fight for the right to be crowned the 2006 NBA Champions. We want to take a poll of all of you guys and see who is going to win and in how many games. Can the Mavs stop Shaq and Flash? Do the Heat have anyone that can contain Dirk? You be the judge. We will post your comments as quickly as possible as you reply to this post. And not to sway your opinion or anything, but...GO MAVS!!!!!
Peace out,

Camp Craziness

So last week was pretty stinkin' amazing! Everyone who went to camp knows what I'm talking about...don't ya? Now that we're back in Loserville (thanks Neil) I thought I would post some thoughts about our stay at the lovely SFA campus.

1) If you walked away from camp and didn't feel an urge to live for something more than our everyday mediocrity then you weren't listening. To quote an old song by Lifehouse:
How can I stand here with You and not be moved by You
Would You tell me how could it be any better than this?

Last week should have kicked your tail into gear and made you realize that being in the presence of the King is not something to take lightly...so are you moved?

2) One of the things that impressed me the most was the students that stepped up into the leadership roles...there ain't no steppin' back now!! You guys did a great job and I am anticipating an "A-mazing" (man was that A-nnoying) summer with you guys at the helm.

3) Finally I realized that we as a ministry need to kick it up a notch. I mean that from the top down. It's time to take on the phroneo_christou. Like Neil said, to whom much is given, much is required so we need to step out and get our hands dirty in the work the Father has put before us.

I am going to post some pictures later on, but for now words will have to do.

Peace out,

Taz's Corner

hello my little munchkins. it's your neighborhood tazmanian devil here. hope everyone is having a great day and eating lots of bark (that's the new lingo for grub). anyways just wanted to update you guys on a little something something...i am Batman. I know it's been kind of confusing lately, but...well you get the picture. Wendy's has a new 99 cent chicken sandwich that is delectable. you should try one, then go down the road and hit up some sonic during 3:00 to 5:00 for half priced drinks...route 44 for under a buck that's nearly 2 cents a route. pretty incredible. shortcake (strawberry) and i would like you guys and gals to have our 10s (previously "digits") so you can hit us up when you're doing something highly entertaining. so here you have it.

CC (Brooks) - 903.314.1639
Shortcake (John)- 469.644.6038

you should also call sugar and tell him how much of a lame-o he is for missing out on this summer...i'm serious...pester the heck out of him. here's his 10s

Sugar (Jacob) - 281.705.0663

that's all for now. remember to help prevent forest fires. Being Batman, i haven't seen Smokey the Bear in a while and thought since he may be incapacitated, I should help him out and remind everyone.

Flove you all.

D-Groups

Hey guys, this Tuesday June 6th we will be having our first official D-group meetings from 7:30pm-around 9pm. We will have a guys group that will be studying Every Young Man's Battle by Stephen Arterburn.
The ladies will be studying Captivating by John and Stasi Eldredge.
I think you should be able to find these books at the Compass or Christian Book Store, but if you can't find them there you will definitely be able to get them online from amazon.com or christianbook.com. Both of the studies have journals that go along with them and you will need to buy those for this group.
The boys are going to meet at Seth Stanford's house out in China Spring and the girls will meet at Julie Williams house over by the church. For directions please email Ronny at the church ronny-higgins@highlandbc.org (or call my cell 254.315.3803) and I will get them to you. Hope to see you all there. Peace out.
