Shoal Creek Student Family Connection - 10/27 Edition

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

1. All families (students and parents) please join all of Shoal Creek each Wednesday from 6-8pm at Shoal Creek for the “7 Journey Experiences”. This is the link to RSVP for J4 “Isolation to Community” Wednesday night experience. Dinner WILL be provided (which is why the RSVP is important). Families with kids in grade school (K through 5th) will remain with their kids in the auditorium for a family experience including skits, videos, games, prizes and more. Adults & Families with older kids (6th grade and above) will go to the Attic for an interactive experience.

2. Only ONE Buya Service on Sundays, at 11am, Until Further Notice – Unfortunately, for several months now, our Buya Team has been struggling to make Buya on Sunday mornings as effective and life transformational as we hope it can be. Most recently, we have struggled to have enough volunteers on Sundays to staff two services. Our Buya Team (primarily made up of the parents of Buya and Crash students) is meeting and discussing to make a longer term decision of whether or not we are able to be more effective in the lives of students with two Buya services on a Sunday, or if we will be more effective by moving to one Buya service on Sunday. 

Until we can make a final decision in the next couple of weeks, we are putting 1st service Buya on “hold”, and asking families of Buya students to please consider attending the 11am service, so that we can still engage your Buya student in a spiritual journey then.

3. Last Week’s ParenTeen Post, “Slaying the giant of worry how your kids will measure up.” can be found here.

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

1. “Buya” program every Sunday at 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.
