With June around the corner, summer is officially here.  We will begin our summer studies in a couple of weeks and just a reminder that summer doesn’t mean we take a break from God!!!  I know with school out and vacation plans being made, God still wants us to be faithful to Him. 
This week we will meet back in amphitheatre for our regular Wednesday night services.  We had a great time last week at the Backyard Service with about 42 in attendance.  Thanks for showing up and participating.

MOVIE NIGHT
Next Wednesday night, we will have a movie night in Tupelo and go see Narnia 2.  I want to encourage all of you students to wait before going to see this movie and go with us next week as a group.  You will need to bring your own money for your ticket and food.
 
SOAR 2008 Update
SOAR is just over a month away.  With everyone getting excited about going, there is still work to be done.  We have a couple of students who have their trip paid for, but there are several who are short.  This trip has SOLD OUT 2 hotels in the San Antonio area, and a record attendance has been set for this conference.  There are several area churches making this trip, so I ask for your prayers to continue for us and them.  We want the lives of our students to change for the GLORY OF GOD!

Bro. Trent and Ms. Rebecca

We will have our backyard service this Wednesday night at Bro. Trent’s house from 6:00 to 8:00.  There will be games, food, fellowship, giveaways, music, and God’s word.  If you need a ride, the church van will be leaving the church at 5:45.  If you plan on riding, please get there a little early.  Please remember that the van will leave at 5:45 sharp!!!

"Thanks"
I want to thank everyone for your cards, thoughts and prayers for me and my family during the last 2 weeks.  I want to especially thank the students for the plant and support.  It is never easy to lose someone you love.  It was especially difficult being an 11 hour plane ride away from my family.  Please continue to remember us in your prayers.  May God bless you for all you have done.  I love you all. Rebecca

Backyard Service - We will have our backyard service on May 21 at my house.  There will be games, food, fellowship, giveaways, music and God's Word. We will be saying so long to this school year and gettting ready for summer activities. We are inviting all 6th graders to attend that are moving up to The Main Event next semester. Directions to my house will be posted on the basement door May 21st.

Team Points - We had a lead change in the points race last Wednesday with the Red Team bumping Gold into 2nd place.  Stay tuned for the next couple of weeks to see this come down to the wire.

Reminder - T-shirt money is due now.  If you signed up for a Main Event T-shirt, please  bring me $12.00 so we can order these. Also 6th graders who will be moving up to The Main Event next school year can go ahead and order a t-shirt. Please see me, Ms. Rebecca or any one of the other youth workers to sign up.
