New "Stuff" that we all need to know

This is yet another update on what 'stuff' is going on at our church before another year begins on September 6th. That way no returner is left in the dark and every newcomer can check out what we are before coming....

• Our Highestland Leaders: Highlanders Youth Group Leader and Higherland College Age Group Leader; have been chosen for this year. Alex Rodgers will be the Higherland Leader and Kyle Fitch will be the Highlanders Leader.
• Reminder: Starting September 6th we change our meeting time from Wednesday nights to Sunday nights. Highlanders Youth Group meets at 5:30 and Higherland College Age Group meets at 7:30.
• Highestland: "Redefining High, one month at a time." Highestland is our once a month big event that is open to Highlanders, Higherland, and non-attenders alike. Each month's event will have a different theme of awesomeness.
• If you can play an instrument we are always reconsidering our Youth band make up. Currently there is Youth/College Pastor Andy on Guitar and Geoffrey Hargis on the Djembe Drum. Just let Andy know what skills you got!
• If you've got any questions just email 

Hope this helps.
Go High, Don't Land,

This Is Our Year!

Hi guys,

As a quick blurb I just wanted to refresh or renew everyones minds before this upcoming kick butt year of youth group. As you may know already the day and time we are meeting is kind of up in the air right now.... so thats why you have a chance to vote on it. Other than that we've got everything planned out for a great year. To just get a grasp on what's coming, here is a preview:

• Accountability Partners (Pending you tell me who you want)
• Worship lead by our own mini band
• Better Lessons (First 20 Lessons are already written and ready)
• More Fellowship opportunities : Highestland(once a month event), movie nights, manovers, Makeovers (aka womanover), and Prayer nights.
• Growing experiences: outreach to our friends, training for leaders, fundraisers (yes I did say fundraisers), and having a College age group after youth group.

Just so that everyone is clear on the names of stuff at the church I will explain it again.

1. Youth @ Highland Christian Church: Simply incorporates everything relating to us
2. Higherland: The College Age Group's name; 18-25yr olds or H.S. Seniors to college seniors
3. Highlanders: The Youth Group's name: open to Jr.-Sr. High students
4. Highestland: A once a month event open to all Youth @ HCC and non attenders alike
5. Admonishers & Encouragers (A&E): A Christian Accountability Partner system
6. Manover: A "Manly Sleepover" for the young men of the youth group.
7. Made-overs: A rare lady like event for the young women of the Youth @ HCC.
8. Movie Nights: A casual get together in the sanctuary to watch a movie and then pray.
9. Godcert: When a band from the Christian College comes to perform and lead worship

We are going to have an awesome year together, I can hardly wait untill it all begins.

Shalom in the Home,

Andy
