At the Underground (Middle School)

September in Middle School Land...

Wednesday Nights

Hey there, middle school type people! Be sure you make Wednesday nights part of your week this Fall. We’ve made a few changes to the room and they’ll be a few more changes to the program that will make Wednesdays even sweeter than they were last year. Come and we’ll talk about being more than just a youth group, we’ll be a Family.

Pray with Grant
This Fall I’ll be at MBC, PGMS, and CMS once a week, 15 minutes before school to pray with you guys as you start your day. Please plan on joining me for a short time of prayer and a chance to check in with your youth group on your campus. Here are the day’s I’ll be where…

• Tuesdays….Pacific Grove Middle
• Wednesdays...Monterey Bay Christian
• Fridays...Carmel Middle

Sunday Mornings
During Sunday School this Fall we will be talking about the nuts and bolts of the Christian life. How exactly should we pray? What does it mean to worship God? Should middle school kids give an offering at church? We’ll answer these and many more questions that are on your mind.

Let’s start off the youth year with an awesome trip down to Riverside Campground and Cabins in beautiful Big Sur. We’ll spend 2 nights camping under the redwoods next to a babbling river, roasting marshmallows, singing songs, and having a great time together as a group. Spots are limited to 12 kids so get your money and permission slip in early.
Leave:3:30 Fri. 9/26
Back: Noon Sun. 9/28
Cost : $45
More Info: Grant 624.3326 or 236.4408

As always give me a call with questions

Well, it’s official: everybody, including Carmel, is back in school. As we get back into the swing of school we’ll also be launching into a fresh, new year of youth ministry.

Our Wednesday ministry will be starting up on September 3. Be sure to be thinking of someone you know whom you can invite to come and check out our Wednesday time of worship, Bible study, and games. Be sure to write September 3 on the calendar, 6:30-8:00pm.

On Sunday mornings, in our discipleship groups, we’ll be studying Surrendering to Jesus during September. In this study we’ll be learning how the Lord desires to deepen our thankfulness, strengthen our faith, and surrender our lives to serve Him and His purposes. It should be good. Join us at 9am in the high school room.

Service Project: Triathlon

On September 13 our high school service team will be heading over the Pacific Grove to help with the Triathlon at Pacific Grove. We’ll be manning the drink station on the bike stage of the race. We’ve been doing this for the past 5 years and each year it’s been fun, inspiring, helpful, and evangelistic.

We’ll be handing out drinks to athletes in the race and, in between, giving out evangelistic flyers to spectators. We will need both high school students and several adults. If you’re interested in joining the team, please contact Ben at 624-5551. It is always a great morning!

Please Pray ...

Please pray for the high school age kids of our church as they seek to live for Christ on campus. In many ways, Christ is still forming His life in the lives of our high school students. There are many influences grasping for their attention.

Please join me in praying that the Lord would continue to grow the roots of faith that have been planted in the lives of our high schoolers to grow deeper and stronger during this next year—that they would grow in their love for the Lord and other people.

Blessings,
~Ben
