Hey Guys!
Thanks to everyone who was a part of the Monster Lock-In this past weekend! We had around 75 students who came so thanks for inviting your friends and making this our biggest event! But don't forget to invite your friends to Acquire the Fire too. It's coming up fast so make sure to grab a permission slip and get it into Dave ASAP. This is an awesome way to help your friends meet Christ and for you to grow in your relationship with Him as well. So don't miss out!

Lock-In Deadline Extended
As of Monday there are 51 students signed up for the Lock-In. Please don’t miss out, there is till room for you and your friends.* We need all applications here at Messiah by the end of this Wednesday’s Youthnite. By the way, this week is Small Group night, so we’ll be having Pizza (suggested donation of $2 per person.)
Note to Parents and Leaders:
We are still in need of five adults who are willing to spend the night as either Security or chaperones. We especially need female leaders. We also need at least three more to help serve breakfast and do clean-up in the morning. (*Without these additional numbers we will need to cap total registrants at 60 in order to guarantee a safe event for all students.) Please get back to me by Wednesday.

January Youth Update
To the Messiah's Youth Community:
Parents, Students and Leaders
Happy New Year to you all! I trust the Christmas season gave you all time together with your families. Our Christmas break is coming to a close and we are ramping up for a wonderful winter season of Youth Ministry here at Messiah Episcopal Church. Our Youth Team just finished a prayer and planning retreat and the excitement was palpable. This Sunday Sunday School is back and this Wednesday, Jan. 9th, sees another Youth & Family Potluck. Youthnites follow, with this month’s theme of "Reaching Your Peers," some practical teaching on friendship evangelism. Look for some of our large, fun and life-changing events as well, with our Monster Lock-In on Jan. 25th and Acquire the Fire on Feb. 15th-16th. Because we were able to purchase a bulk of tickets for Acquire the Fire lat year, we can make this very special announcement: students who pay their fees for the Monster Lock-In in January earn a $25 discount toward Acquire the Fire in February.
Two future notes:
First, our Youthnite theme for February is "Know the Truth," helping families learn about, prevent and overcome chemical dependency. Look for more info soon.
Second, a new Confirmation Class begins in Lent. Our current class concludes its classroom work at the end of January and moves into ministry internships. There will be an info meeting for interested parents and students, mature 8th graders and up, Sunday, Jan. 27th.
Also, look for exciting Summer Ministries info in our February e-mail.
With every blessing for 2008. And, please bookmark our new blog, faithfully updated by Dwight Reynolds and Kevin Hendricks.

Happy New Year!
Hey Messiah's Youth,
Hope you all had an awesome Christmas and our excited for the new year after celebrating the birth of Jesus. At the start of the new year it is important that, aside from our new year's resolutions, that we committ ourselves to growing closer to Christ in 2008. It may be something like committing more time to prayer and scripture reading or perhaps simply seeking to develop more godly qualities such as patience and humility. It may be difficult, but we cannot stand still in following God, we must always seek to become more like Christ and the beginning of the new year is a great time to look for more ways to do this. My prayer is that we can encourage each other to do this at church, at school, at home, and everywhere we go so we can show the glory of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to those around us. So Happy New Year to all of you and I hope to see you at the potluck on Wednesday!
