This will, as always, be a first come, first serve basis.

More information will be given the day you sign up.
You ARE NOT allowed to get in line until after Sunday's church service is COMPLETELY over. If you are caught lining up before then you will be place last on the waiting list.
3:00 till 4:30 we will have the first screening of the FRIDAY NIGHT LIVE video. We will begin the video at 3:00 sharp so make plans to get there early.

FANTASY LAKE-We will meet at 8:00 at Sandhurst and return around 6:00. The cost is $20.00 plus money for food at the lake, or you can bring a packed lunch and your own drink (cost difference is to off set gas cost and leader expenses) I will have a big cooler and water available. Please let me know ASAP if you plan to attend so I can make transportation arrangements. You can check it all out online at http://www.fantasylakewaterpark.com/ .
Can't wait!

Back from Belize
Hey Crew,
I'm back from Belize! I had an awesome time and I can't wait to tell you all about it! I'm glad to be back here though so I can hang out with you. Robert and Jennifer were with me in Belize and if you have not met them you are in for a treat. They love Jesus and love to share Him and life with you!
We have a ton of stuff lined up for the rest of the summer to do together and it's going to be a blast!
See you Sunday, if not before!

Goodbye Jcrew and Hello Belize
Hey Jr. high,
The past couple of weeks have been amazing! It has been such a blast getting to know you! I'm looking forward to hanging out when I get back from Belize. Pray for us as we share Christ with the people there.
Do me a favor, keep in mind what we talked about Wednesday night. Here's a couple a questions to think about. Do you believe that the Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead really lives in you? If so, how has your life changed since the moment you excepted Christ? We have only begun our journey together and I can't wait to see what Jesus is going to do in us and through us!
Two more things:
1-Be nice to Adam while I'm gone! That cat loves you guys and you'll love this time of him teaching.
2-Cyp is handling all the Bible Alive stuff so get with her if you want to serve or have questions.
I'm looking forward to my mission trip, but I can't wait to get back to blow the rest of the summer out with you!
Peace out!

Carowinds Fun
Hey Y'all!!!
On Thursday I got to hang out with a good many of you for the first time, and I can already tell that y'all are amazing and fun and that I am going to want to get to know each one of you so much more! The way that you made fun of my laugh while waiting to get on the borg (or the Nighthawk as it is now called) tells me that this is going to be one fun summer. I hope that I can love you like Jesus does, and that I can help you adventure with Him! He wants each one of you to live with passion for Him! Anyways, thanks y'all for the fun new memories and Chase thanks for the song!
Cyprian :)

Stop by often

Movin' on Up!!
What it is Hommies!?
It's hard to believe it's already time for y'all to move up to high school! I cherish each one of our friendships and am so thankful for the many memories we already share. It's very exciting to see you each grow in your walk with Jesus. I am so proud of so many of you. Following Christ is definitely not always the easiest thing to do, but it is also one of the most exciting things to do! Falling in love with our Creator is an incredible adventure and one of the most romantic things you can experience. One/two of the things I hope you've taken away from these past couple years is to love Jesus with everything you've got and truly care and love others around you.
I'm pumped about the future memories we get to make together! Y'all are awesome. I love you each loads. Let me know if there is ever anything you need.

Time flies and the journey continues
Wow! Time flies when your having fun! I can't believe it's been a year since you seventh graders moved up and two years for the eight graders. My prayer for us all is that we are closer to Jesus now than we were a year ago. Ashton's word's last night about how Jesus has used our church and youth group over the last couple of years to change her heart and mind about Christ, really spoke to me. She said that because of experience she feel she knows Him on a deeper level. I hope you all feel you are connected to a community at Sandhurst that loves you! You ARE and FOREVER will be a special part of me! I look forward to seeing Christ continuing to work in your lives. Your love for Him is best seen by the way you love each other. We are on an amazing journey together that has only just begun. We get to continue the party forever and ever together!
You matter to me and I love You!

Sin #2 Good fruit, Bad fruit
Hey friends,
Its tough to discuss some of the issues we have over the past few weeks. I guess that's how it goes when you are talking about Satan and sin. One of his favorite tricks in our culture is deceiving us into thinking just being good is good enough. His attacks in other cultures are blatant and visible. He works in a totally different way in our culture. He would rather us think we have enough or to much Jesus in our lives and he (Satan) isn't real. I asked that you go back to the point in your life when you accepted Jesus into you heart and examine what's happen in your heart from that point until today. Has your life begun to bear good fruit? Do you find that you are beginning to love others more than yourself? Is Jesus what you can't get enough of? Is patience, hope, love being produced more and more, or has not much changed since that day? If you don't see your life producing the fruits of the Spirit, ask yourself why? Don't let our enemy pull you to the place where your just o.k. with getting by. We all need to run to Christ and seek Him in His word, and talk to Him each day in prayer. I pray for you! I pray for our youth group! We need to begin with simply loving each other!
Sin #1 Build Wise
Hey Jr. high,
Your response to last nights talk on sin and the middle has been unbelievable! It seems that a lot of you want to take your spiritual maturity personally and start growing. If our enemy is like a lion, how long could a human infant make it in the jungle? Answer: NOT LONG! Its time for you to grow and run spiritually. I hope that you heard my heart as I was telling you of my "christian" experience. I do not want you to mistake your church attendance or activity as a real, living, intimate, relationship with Jesus. Don't get me wrong we need each other for many reasons teaching, community, accountability, etc, but we have to know Him personally. Remember Matthew 7:21-27. Remember that my mistake was building my house on sand which were all "good things" church, Bible clubs and studies, youth group, etc. Remember what happen to me when all of that fell apart! I didn't know how to answer Jesus when He asked "who do you say that I am" (Mark 8:29)? I knew what others were saying, but I didn't know Him personally. Satan loves for us to think everything is just alright. He does not want you to grow spiritually, and will slowly distract you using anything, even good things. He is subtle and sneaky. The zebra in the clip took a long time to die. Please contact me or any leader if you have any questions about Jesus and your relationship with Him.
Lions, The Middle and Sin oh my!!!
Hey Crew,
Wow, I really am excited about what God is doing in my heart! We have been studying for a while now about what life with Christ looks like. We have talked about the ups and downs, left and right, but I haven't said to much about the middle. We will being looking at Satan and sin for several Wednesday nights. The Bible describes our enemy as a lion waiting to devour and kill. What can we learn about Satan by looking at the life of lions. Are we in danger? Who is safe?
We often feel like the safest place to be is in the middle. We don't want to "offend" anyone with Jesus on hand, but we don't want to be associated with the crowd that rejects Him either. That leave us SAFE and COMFORTABLE in the middle! Satan's greatest weapon in our culture seems to ever so slightly nudge us to the middle. We will take a long honest look at sin and the value we place on Jesus Christ!
Peace,
Tommy
