Cool Happenings

Hi,

Here's a few things coming up soon!

Women of the Heights and Men of the Heights Kickoff

This Sunday Morning the Women of the Heights and Men of the Heights are having a kickoff event during the normal Sunday School hours. This is event will give the men and women of the church a chance to see what's planned for the coming year. We will not have a normal Youth Group this Sunday. The junior high will still meet, but all high schoolers are invited to attend their respective kickoff event.

Please encourage your students to come. Both the Men's and Women's Ministries are reworking some of the familiar events and adding so really cool opportunities for this year. It would be awesome to have our high school students begin to plug in and start relationships with more adults through the Men's and Women's Ministries.

Retreats

We have been presented with an opportunity to attend some retreats this fall. There is a high school retreat and a Men's Retreat coming soon. All High School Guys are invited to attend the Men's retreat. Any Junior High Guy is invited as long as Dad or a guardian is attending.

The Men's Retreat is October 31st and November 1st @ Scioto Hills, we are still finalizing details such as times and pricing.

The High School Retreat will either be November 8-10 or 14-16. The cost is $50 for the entire weekend. We will be heading to a Camp in Butler Springs. We need to know what kind of interest there is in the retreat. If we have lots of interest we will make it happen. If not...

Here's a link to the webpage with lots of helpful info.

Prayer Meetings

Starting Thursday September 11th through Thursday October 9th the church will be holding special prayer meetings. There will be two meeting times; 6:30am-7:00am and 8:30pm-9pm. These will be informal prayer times set aside to pray for the ministry of Washington Heights. We will pray for the health of our church and revival. They will end right on time, there will be no lesson or discussion.

Students are invited and encouraged to join. Please make it a priority to attend. Pastor Kisner will lead the Morning sessions and I (Justin) will lead the Evening Sessions.

Small Groups and Leaders

Please pray for the Youth Leadership Team. We are working on getting our small groups back up and running, but we need more Adult Leaders. Ideally we will have small groups with 5 to 7 students plus two leaders. We currently are unable to follow this ideal set up because we do not have enough leaders. Please pray that people would join us and that maybe you are part of the solution.

We are having a Youth Leader Meeting Sunday September 14th during the first worship service. If you are interested in seeing how you might help please let me know you are interested and plan to attend the meeting if possible.

God is doing some really cool things here at WHBC and especially in our Teens!

Thanks

Justin
