Church guide

A fun evening at the Corn Maze!

2018 Silverwood Trip

For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh. For I have the desire to do what is right, but not the ability to carry it out. For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I keep on doing. Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me. Romans 7:18‭-‬20 ESV If we start with bad ingredients, we can try to dress them up but it will still taste bad. Thankfully we have a God who made it possible to become a new creation in Christ.

Tonight we will begin a new series called Busting Free which is about helping youth discover their identity in Christ. Come discover how God makes Beautiful Things including Christ living in and through you!

Fitting words following our high school retreat this past weekend: "However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace." Acts 20:24

It was a super Super Bowl party!

Somethings come between us and God and they get very heavy when we carry them.

Friday Night Vibe is this Friday 6-8pm.

We are going to be going through Mark 5 tonight. Some pretty serious stuff including freedom from bondage and being ostracized for being "different." Tonight will be a great night to ask your teen what did you talk about in youth group tonight.

Quest and the Capital!

2017 Quest - Part 2

Quest Middle School event at Black Lake Bible Camp.

Plan on attending this fun event. There will be no youth group on this date due to the Carnival. Come have some fun with us!

Just a couple of late night photos including a great one with a moon beam.

Another fun day. Church at Island Church on Bainbridge Island followed by relaxation time and time at the beach roasting hot dogs and making smores.

It has been a fun evening. Kids made dinner under Gail's supervision as she was nursing a sprained foot in a bucket of ice water. Everyone chipped in and Allie took it upon herself to wash the dishes. I love watching kids volunteering and working hard. We followed up dinner with a friendly game of Mexican Dominos.

Day 1 of the Seattle trip. Underground Seattle, Columbia Center, Pike Place Market and ferry ride to Bainbridge Island.

Our accommodations for the High School group next weekend are ready. Are you ready to register this Wednesday? $50 for Undergoing Seattle, Columbia Center view from the 73rd floor, Pike Place Market, ferry ride and more. Leave Saturday morning at 8 and arrive back around 1pm. Contact Derek if you have questions.

Water balloon relay races and foosball. :-)

A great place to have church!

When team building activities go horribly horribly wrong. #middleschoolretreat
