Shoal Creek Student Family Connection - 9/29 Edition

Hi Families, here’s your “need-to-know” info for your Buya and Crash Students:

1. Special Opportunity Sit Face-To-Face With World-Leader This Thursday – This Thursday at Roy’s home from 7-8:30pm, we have the opportunity to be face-to-face with Jim Yost, one of the the best movement leaders in the world. Would anyone like to hear about what he’s been up to, and gain insight in our we can make our student ministries a better place for our students? The bigger context of the meeting is about how we can help stop Human Trafficking; however, Roy has said that it may be possible to get Jim to share with us some of the things he’s experienced in working with youth in general. PLEASE let me know if you’re interested in hearing about student movements—thanks! You can RSVP HERE.

2. Crash Students Invited To Go Eat Lunch After Church This Sunday At Chipotle – On the first Sunday of each month I’m inviting any Crash student that wants some good grub to go get some lunch together. This Sunday we’ll head off to Chipotle as soon as second service is over. Let me know if you want in!

3. “New Look” For Crash (9th-12th Graders) On Sundays At Shoal Creek – Starting now, and indefinitely forward, instead of the high school students at Shoal Creek doing their own program during the 11am service, our Crash Team invites each high school student up into the Attic between services for free breakfast food, and then into the Auditorium Balcony during the 11am service to sit as a high school group to experience the wonderfully relevant Auditorium service together. For details on why/how we reached this decision, please read my blog post here. Please also feel free to contact me for any/all questions you have that the blog post doesn’t answer.

4. Clay Terrance “Homework Huddle” Community Service Opportunity, Wednesdays, 3:15-4:30pm – This summer we had a really fun time at Clay Terrace Apartments putting on these Fun Fridays. Now we’re trying to follow up with some of the relationships we started through what we’re calling “Homework Huddles”, which will be on Wednesdays, where we’ll help students with their homework after school. I know many students have commitments in that right-after-school time slot, but I consider this an A++ type of service opportunity that students really excel in. I’ll be there! Would love to serve alongside your student! Please RSVP HERE if you/they would like to help!

Here’s what’s available to students and how we communicate to student families weekly.

1. “Buya” program every Sunday, 9:30am and 11am in the Underground for all 6th-8th grade students.
2. “Crash” (9th-12th grade) students can meet in The Attic every Sunday from 10:35am-11am for free breakfast, then attend the 11am service in the Auditorium as a group by sitting in the balcony.
3. Join the “Buya Parents” or the “Crash Parents” City groups if you want weekly info on upcoming events.
