Schools Back In

By this time you are all back in school. Wow! Did the summer fly by or what? We are getting things rolling again here at THE NET. We've missed you this summer and hope you will be back. There are a lot of things planned starting with our Back to School Wacky Olympics on September 3rd. There will be some, well, crazy olympic games, tons of prizes and give-a-ways. So get your team together (teams of 5 people). We are also working on a Kings Island trip.....I know we all ready did an amusement park trip but we did not get enough. There will be info passed out this Wednesday about this trip. Right around the corner in October we have a paintball adventure planned. (flyers available)
This Sunday Pastor Brian is going to be preaching in big church and he said it would be great to get as many teens there as possible. We are going to set up a information table with all kinds of youth stuff available for you and your parents to pick up: calendars, paintball flyers/permission forms, prayer partner slips, etc. Hey, hope to see you there!

SWIMMIMG PARTY

Don't Forget this WEDNESDAY! Aug 6th

Swimming Party at the Lewtons.

Bring your trunks, a towel, and a snack to share. Call Pastor Brian
if you have any questions. And yes the van will be running.

Never good bye

Well, you may have heard, Zack and Becca have moved away.

I know it's a bummer.

I know we have seen a lot of our sponsors over the last couple of years leave us...Katie, Chad, Mel, Andy, Jon, Julie, Amanda, Pastor Josh and Becca....its a long list. And we'll be going through it again in another year when Josh and Suzie move away to become youth pastors at a new church.

We must think in the positive....it was great getting to know them, it was great hanging out with them. Each of them taught us something different. They all mean so much to us, it's really sad when they leave. I want you to know that each of them left not because of us, they all loved us. They left because they felt that God had called them to do something different. Lets pray for them, and enjoy the time we all had together. Who knows we may get lucky and get them back sometime.

Just like the game of tag we played Wednesday night, there will be more come link up with us to walk with us on this youth group adventure, it will be fun. Just you wait and see.

Back from Camp

Greetings!

What a crazy couple of weeks in good ole Fairmont Campgrounds. First was Jr. High camp, where we took 12 students and 4 adults. It was a great time! We learned a ton about God and how to live for Him. There was one powerful service that focused on confession. After the "confession" time, we had another few minutes of worship that was really hard to end. It was cool.

The guys who went with us to camp were those who were always "getting into trouble". It’s kinda funny because Pastor Brian is the Jr. High camp director and he was always hearing about what was going on in dorms...and it turned out that the trouble was the dorm that our guys stayed in. There was also an "incident" with super glue being spread out on all the toilet seats. The camp caretaker was all over Pastor Brian about that one, too. Turns out that it wasn't super glue but, rather, Karo Syrup. And, guess what? One of our guys did it. :) Pastor Brian got a confession phone call about that one. We asked him what he thought about it...He got a pretty good laugh from it.

Sr. High camp was really good this year, too. The speaker was a guy who used to be one of our own district youth pastors--Jeff Eckart. He did a good job and the music was good, too. The coolest afternoon game time was the "Wild Cat" games, which turned into a giant mud fight. Everyone was covered with mud. Good times.

Let us know your camp stories from this year. It was great to hear what God did for you when you spoke at last Sunday’s service. Do it again but, this time, post it.
