Ministry Update - 2/2/12

Hello Parents & Leaders!

Here is the full ministry update for Submerge:

Super Bowl Sunday
In light of the end of the football season, I want to encourage everyone to wear their favorite sports team jersey or shirt this Sunday.  It's just a fun way to show team pride & who doesn't want an excuse to pull out their football jersey one last time?!

Hoodies & Jackets
If anyone is interested in ordering a Submerge hooded sweatshirt or zip-up jacket (similar to the ones that were given to those who participated in Winter Meltdown), please let me know.  I am considering ordering more if there are enough people interested.  This can be a great way to support our ministry & help get our name out in the community.  The price per sweatshirt is going to be around $25.  These sweatshirts will be open to ANYONE - students, parents, family members, etc!  If you would like one, please email me what size(s) you need, as well as whether or not you would like a full hoodie or a zip-up jacket.

Ice Skating - February 20, 12-3pm
Monday, Feb. 20 is President's Day, and I am organizing a trip to the Reisterstown Sports Complex.  Cost will be about $15 & will cover skate rentals & admission.  Students will need extra money if they wish to get anything from the Concession Stand.

Dateable Debriefing
This Sunday will be our second part of the "Dateable" Series.  We will be discussing the dangers of getting too involved (emotionally, financially, etc) into relationships, & how the typical model of dating actually sets us up for a pattern of divorce in the future.  Our focus will again be on building better friendships with those around us, and setting proper "space" boundaries.  In order to get the most out of this series, please make sure you are discussing with your child the topics that we are addressing, & use it as a platform for helping them build appropriate guidelines in their relationships.

Offering Wars!
During the month of February, we are doing an "offering war" between the boys & girls - the winning group at the end of the month will receive a pizza party!!  Currently, the boys are winning with a whopping $2!  Please help build excitement during these "wars" & help your child see the importance of giving finances to God (as worship).

That's it for this week!  I hope everyone has a great weekend!!  Please keep the high school ministry in prayer, as they will be at a conference in Ocean City all weekend.  It will be exciting to hear all that God will do in their lives this weekend.
