Weekly Update: October 22

Parents,

      I hope you've had a great start to the week. The weather has changed, which must mean Thanksgiving and Christmas are right around the corner!

High School escape
      Big change!! High school football season might not be over on November 14, so escape is now November 15-16 (Saturday afternoon to Sunday afternoon). Download the info sheet or pick one up on Sunday.
Sign-ups will begin this week!! (Sunday, October 26)

Parents' Meeting: November 9
      Mark it on your calendar! We will gather in the Worship Center after engage (about 7:00-7:30 PM) to discuss the upcoming calendar, a Youth Mission Trip '09 update and tidbits for parents.

Next Series @ engage
      Thanks for your support during our Storyline series! Coming up next month will be a three-week series. Coming up...

• Nov. 2: God's Politics
  With the election two days away, the whole world will be talking about the US Presidential Election. What does this political season mean for Christ followers? How do we respond to political candidates who stretch the truth in their ads?
• Nov. 9: the end?
  Every so often, somebody comes up with a brilliant theory about why the world is going to end. Remember Y2K? Jesus talked about when He will come back to Earth again. How should we respond to Jesus coming back?
• Nov. 16: think. pray. live.
  Tonight we take a step back and reflect on the Psalms. These ancient songs and prayers are jam-packed with great meaning. How do they speak to us today?

    Lastly, some slang and texting lingo for you to speak (or at least understand):

• M&M = Alright, a little above mediocre.
  "Do you like that youth pastor?" "Yea, he's M&M."
• Shero = A female hero.
  "Superwoman is such a shero."

Until next week...
