Hey Oh,
So Tomorrow night April 23rd is the Annual Cubbie Bear Fair! We are once again going to be helping with this event! We will not have our normal activities! When you arrive at church, gather in the foyer near the stairs to the basement and wait for instructions. Please don't stay home, thinking this won't be fun! This is always a great opportunity for us to serve the church and hang out with some cool kids! We'll be done at 8 like usual!
I will be on vacation starting the end of this weekend so we have some special speakers!! YEAH!! Mr. Joel Harbaugh will be sharing on Sunday April 27th and Mr. Tim Erlandson will speak Wednesday April30th and Sunday May 4th! I'm actually sad I'm missing these men speak! But not enough to skip my vacation... : )
Friday May 9th All New Heights Students are invited to a Dayton Dragons game! It will cost $15.
Following the game we will drop off Junior High (Ignite) Students at church for parent pick up...Then all High School (Revolution) are invited to a campout! More details will be sent out soon!
Stay tuned for info about our Revolution Cedar Point Trip this June!
That's it for now!
Happy Tuesday!

Nicaragua Team Announcement
Hey Team,
Our meeting which was scheduled for 6pm-7pm this Sunday night will now be from 7pm-8pm. We are doing this to allow those of you involved with Trek/Journey to do both.
If your parents will be attending a home group Sunday night they can drop you off at the church a little before 6. I will be here and we'll hang out in the dining room next to the gym until the meeting starts.
To repeat
OUR MEETING SUNDAY NIGHT IS NOW 7PM TO 8PM IN THE YOUTH ROOM!
Bring your copy of "Walking His Trail". You should have read chapters 1 and 2 as well as the intro.
We will discuss ministry teams during our meeting. So be thinking about what you'd like to be involved in as far as VBS programing, music, sports, puppets etc.

I'm wearing flip flops...
...I know you don't actually care if I'm wearing flip flops or not, but flip flops mean that its getting warmer!
Hey since I've got your attention I wanted to share some about some of the stuff that's going on over the next several weeks and recap some of our recent teaching!
Dan Ernst just finished a series on knowing that our identity is in Christ as sons and daughters of the King! He encouraged us to allow this truth to spread through every area of our lives and let it impact how we live. He also promised old videos of me from my high school days, but did not deliver. : )
On Wednesdays we've digging into some questions from the teens. We looked at how the GOSPEL should impact our relationships. If we are letting the gospel change all of us, it will show in our relationships with our parents and friends. It will impact our decisions regarding our sexual purity and how we treat our significant others. The Gospel changes all of us when we understand why Christ died. We were reminded that Christ didn't die to save us from Hell. He died to provide Holy Spirit driven Gospel centered lives that cause people to look on us with awe and wonder when they see what God is doing in our lives!
I hope you followed all of that. : ) If not, we're talking about Angels, Satan and Demons for the next few weeks on Wednesdays.
This Sunday we start into the book of Philippians.
Opportunities to get involved!
Miami Valley Women's Center Workday
Saturday March 15th from 9:45-12:15. If you want to grab lunch after cleaning, bring $$. We'll be done with lunch by 1:15.
