Encounter

Encounter is for youth in 6th-8th grade.  The definition of "encounter" is: to meet or come upon especially unexpectedly.  We want all of our Jr. High Youth to have that experience with each other and with Jesus.  we want them to encounter friendship, support, the joy of living a Christian life, the excitement of serving others; but most importantly we want them to have an Encounter with the living God, Jesus Christ, who saves us from our sins and brings us into a relationship with Himself.  How do we do this? -Through Bible study, service projects, retreats and fun events.  Encountering the real Jesus is the most exciting thing that can happen to our lives and our encounters with Him never end because as we grow in our faith we encounter more and more of God's awesome love and plan of salvation for us.  We pray that each youth in our Jr. High ministry Encounter Him!

Return to Bethlehem Live Nativity

Saturday December 12 & Sunday, December 13 6:30pm – 8:30pm

     This is our sixth year of putting on a live nativity for our community. Through the years we have seen people be truly touches by our simple presentation of our Saviors birth. We need people to help set up, taking down and  people to be in each scene.   Volunteers will need to be at the church at 5:30pm and stay till the end of the night.  We have had both individuals and whole families help.  If you have any questions please feel free to call the church office. 

 

Jr. High DYG March 6-7

     Life is full of noise! We have iPods, TV, facebook, and much more. “Live it loud” doesn’t mean we need to add to the multitude of distractions in our lives. Rather, we want to focus on making a joyful noise to the Lord. What is this “joy” all about and how do we let it out? During the DYG weekend we will learn how to get noisy… rejoicing and singing praise for the great things God has done and continues to do in our lives.  The Jr. High DYG is a yearly gathering of Middle School youth from all over the Pacific Southwest District.  Here is more information:

     When: March 6-7 2010

     Where: Orange County/Costa Mesa Hilton

     Speaker: DCE Dave Rueter

     Cost:$100

Registration forms will be mailed to your home soon.  If you are not sure you want to go I will put you in contact with students that have gone and they will tell you that you don't want to miss this trip
