Ski Breck Scoop

Final SHOUT OUT to the Ski Breck Crew! We are just days away from shoving off for the Rockies! We keep getting reports of fantastic powder in and about Breckenridge. So...here's the final 4-1-1: Meet at the Crestview EA (Gym) at 6:00 AM this Saturday, December 27th! We'll load the trailer and hit the road by 6:30. We plan on arriving in Breck around 9:00 PM. You can bring a pillow and "blankie" for the vans, but no other bedding is needed. Try to bring a small bag of snacks for the road so we can minimize our stops. We'll get our rental equipment first thing Sunday morning and hit the slopes! Those who are taking lessons will get their equipment first so they can be on time at Ski School. Our shirts are in so feel free to swing by the Crestview EA on Tuesday to pick yours up or just get it when we take off on Saturday. Feel free to call Rob @ 432 210-9138 with any questions that invade the brain. Merry Christmas to all and we'll see you Saturday!

Y-CAT Vision Cast Meeting

Why is the teenager pictured here so sad?
a) he dropped his cell phone in the toilet
b) he’s an Oklahoma Sooner fan (Go Tech)
c) he has permanent scarring from a vicious hamster bite
d) he hasn’t discovered his gifts
e) all of the above



The answer is "e", but we can't make it official until Saturday (Go Tech again).
Unlike this "Party Poopa"...Crestview Students have discovered their gifts! Here's the next step: Wednesday, November 19 (tomorrow night) Wayne Bartley will be aboard to unpack where we go from here. Wayne is the Executive Pastor of Celebration at FBC Prosper and he will give us a glimpse of how Y-CAT can transform our student ministry! Y-CAT represents our Youth Creative Arts Teams. Wayne will be speaking to our Adults at 6 PM and students at 7 PM. Both of these meetings will be in the Trinity Center Youth Room. So please join us as we take it to the next level and make a difference in our world...for Christ!

DAWG Days

Hey SOS Squad! Just finished Day 10 and had to write about it! So how 'bout that 1/2 day alone with God? Have you started to figure out when you will get it done? Remember, if you can't find time to pray and be in the Word...YOU'RE TOO BUSY! The whole 1/2 day w/ God is somethin' we like to call a DAWG Day. DAWG meaning Day Alone With God, or in this case...1/2 Day Alone With God. Show God HE'S #1 in your world by setting the time aside NOW! We continue to pray for you as you stick it to the devil (I don't capitalize the loser's name). If you feel like you're under attack right now then consider yourself blessed! That means that your SOS commitment has the enemy on the ropes! Keep punchin'!
Much love to you all!

BIBLE SURFING?

Hello Puppets! Greetings from the land of the first-time bloggers! Rob Dawg here regaining my composure after losing about :45 of bloggage. That's correct...3/4 of an hour of my life lost in the blog abyss! So let me show you all how much I love you by RETYPING AS MUCH AS I CAN REMEMBER FROM MY PREVIOUS SEMI-POST! Anyway...I love Justin's writing and all that, but I believe he missed one in yesterday's (Day 8) reading. No offense J-Doo, but "Bible Surfing" kinda just skims the surface. Actually, that's what surfing is...skimming the surface of the water right? Well, my feeble brain is gonna lock-onto the idea of "Bible Diving"! I don't want us to hover over the top of scripture. Let's step-off into the depths of God's love letter to us! Romans 11:33 says, "Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God!" That's where we uncover the mysteries of this awesome God that we serve...IN THE DEEP! So...let's dive-in! (I would belt out a few bars of SCC's Dive, but I'll restrain myself) You're welcome Clair! Anyway...what a week of SOS bliss for me! 47 of you have made the commitment to seek God in extreme fashion...thank you for steppin' out of the box of normalcy!

Below you will find your Tag Teen member(s). Please be in contact with him/her every single day. You may do so by phone, text message, email or by seeing them at school, etc. Be creative. A note on their windshield or a treat left for them in a class may be just the encouragement that they need for the day.

We have the phone numbers and contact information for your Tag Teen members but we don't want to publish those numbers on the internet. If you do not have the contact info for yours, call or text Rob or call Kaci at the church and someone will have it for you.

We will get you a Tag Teen ASAP.
