Ministry Update - 2/8/12

Happy Wednesday Everyone!

Just a few quick things to update you on...

Inclement Weather
Due to the potential for inclement weather, we will be cancelling all evening activities at Crosswind tonight (Feb. 8) - this includes small groups for Submerge & Portside.  The weather advisory states:

"HAZARDOUS TRAVEL DUE TO LOW VISIBILITIES AT TIMES AND SNOW-COVERED ROADWAYS... ESPECIALLY UNTREATED SECONDARY ROADS. THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING RUSH-HOUR COMMUTE WILL BE IMPACTED".  

Because many of our members live off of back roads in Carroll County or commute from long distances, it is safer to cancel our activities all together.  Please stay home & enjoy time with your family tonight.

Upcoming Events
There are a few upcoming events that I want to make sure you get onto your calendars.  Please make sure your student(s) sign up for any activities at the check-in table before & after any of our scheduled services.

Monday, Feb. 20 - Ice Skating @ Reisterstown Sports Complex from 12-3pm.  Cost: $15
Friday, March 2 - Baltimore Blast Game w/ Ashes Remain Concert.  Cost: $20
Friday, April 13 - YFC Lock-In @ Hanover YMCA.  Cost: $10

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.

Dateable Debriefing - Part 3
This Sunday will be the third part of our "Dateable" Series.  We will be discussing the principle: "How it begins is how it will end", and will look at how typical relationships start & finish.  Students will be challenged to focus on answering the question, "How do I want to be remembered" so they can make sure to build the proper boundaries & guidelines within a relationship.  How they act & the choices they make will affect how they are remembered by the other person - if we teach them to "begin with the end in mind", it will help them to think through the decisions they make.  Please make time to discuss this idea with your child at some point next week, so they can have some follow through on the challenge.

That's everything for this week!  Make sure to "like" our facebook page (facebook.com/taketheplunge) to stay current on daily updates & announcements!
