    Impact Week & Redemption Ranch Kick-Off Celebration

    Impact Week is quickly approaching, and this is one of my absolute favorite times of the year, so I am beaming with excitement right now! Don’t forget that on September 11, we will be out at Redemption Ranch for one worship service at 11:00 a.m. as we kick off this amazing week. Bring a lawn chair or blanket to sit on for service, and be sure to bring a hat or umbrella, sunscreen, swimsuit, yard game, and a friend to this super fun event. There will be lunch too!

    Also, be sure to sign up for an Impact Week project during that week. There are sign-up sheets in the Welcome Center for you to check out, but you can also create your own service project with your family or friends! Chi Alpha will be kicking off our fall schedule that Wednesday, September 14, and we will be taking part in our own service projects that night, including filling our Action Packs with the donation items you all brought for the Underground Church event this summer. So, make sure that you join us that night from 6:00-7:30 pm for the project, where we will also have worship and fun games as well. I can’t wait to see how you all will serve during Impact Week!

    Youth & Family BBQ

    Our annual Youth & Family BBQ will be on Sunday, August 21 right after the second service! Sign your family up in the Rafters for this event! This will also be our official “Welcome!” and first week for our incoming 6th graders and their families. So make sure that you are there to give them a warm welcome!

    Fall Calendars Are Out!

    Our fall calendar has been released, so make sure you pick up your copy today in the Rafters! We have so many fun events planned for students and families, so don’t miss out!

    2022-23 Communication

    It’s a new school year, which means we have added families and graduated a few too. We use a few different communication services for Chi Alpha, including email, texting, and social media. If you have not been receiving updates, please make sure to send me your contact information so I can add you to the lists!

    Underground Church

    I am so excited to bring back one of my favorite events this summer, Underground Church. Not only is this night a fun, intense game to play, but it is also an immersive experience for our students to see what it is like to be a Christian in a country that is closed to spreading the Gospel. There are more than 50 countries all over the world that are closed off to the Gospel, so it is important to not only understand the freedoms that we have, to worship, but also to realize that it is our job as Christians to spread the Gospel to all ends of the earth. Underground Church will take place Friday, July 22 from 8:00-11:00 p.m. here at the church. There is no cost to this event, but we will be taking donations to fill Action Packs to send to missionaries in these closed-off locations through Voice of the Martyrs. Here is a list of some items we will be collecting:

    • Blankets
    • Jackets (adult or child size)
    • Light sweaters (adult or child)
    • Gloves or mittens
    • Knit hats
    • Socks (adult or child)
    • Solid color t-shirts (adult or child)
    • Twin size bed sheets
    • New tarps
    • Packs of zip ties
    • Towels
    • Bars of soap
    • Sponge or foam balls (for children)

    No Youth November 24

    We won’t be meeting for youth group on Wednesday, November 24, so you can mentally prepare to eat tons of turkey and pie and enjoy some family time on Thanksgiving Day! Stay home, get some rest, and just enjoy the season of thankfulness.

    Christmas Party

    On Wednesday, December 15, we will be having our last Chi Alpha of 2021, which means it’s time for our annual Christmas Party! And this year, we will be having an Ugly Christmas Sweater Party!

    Youth & Family Trip to Eckert’s Millstadt

    On Saturday, October 16, we will be heading to Eckert’s Farm in Millstadt, Illinois for a great fall day of fun! We will get to the farm at 3:00 p.m. Feel free to either meet us there as a family, or you can meet us at church if you need a ride (we will leave church at 2:15 p.m.). The cost for the event is $10/person, which covers your admission to the farm and your dinner. While there, you can enjoy hayrides, the corn maze, the pumpkin canon, plus the bonfire we reserved! This event is open to the whole family, so we hope you will join us! Your student can sign your family up in the Rafters – the deadline to sign up is Wednesday, October 13. We hope to see you there!

    Promotion Sunday/Youth & Family BBQ

    On Sunday, August 22, our incoming 6th graders will be joining us for the first time in youth group! This is always an exciting time in the life of our youth, as new faces come in, but it is also a time where new leaders are formed. After the second service that morning, the youth and their families are invited to join us in the courtyard for a BBQ, games, and a time to enjoy the end of summer, and also get familiar with the new faces of our group. You can sign up in the Rafters or shoot Kyle a message. We hope you will join us!

    Sarah Baker – THANK YOU!!!

    We are quickly approaching a bittersweet time that we all knew was coming. In just a few weeks, our Summer Intern, Sarah Baker, will be leaving to go back to Kirksville, MO and finish her undergrad. Sarah has faithfully served our youth as the Summer Intern for the last 3 years, and this year is unfortunately her last. We will miss having her over the summers, but we are so excited to see where God takes her in her ministry. We are so blessed to have had her building relationships and serving with our students. If you see her, please take time to thank her for all of her hard work she has given to this group of students!

    DNOW

    Thank you so much, Church, for your support of DNOW this past weekend! This weekend was not possible without your generosity, prayer, and support of our youth ministry. We had 30 students this weekend, 11 of which were friends brought by our students. They all learned together about how to live in the world without the filters that the world places on us, and instead how to live more like Jesus. I am so excited to see how God will use this weekend in the lives of our students moving forward!
