ACTION CORPS MPLS

June 13 t0 20

$150

Join us this summer as we serve at the Marie Sandvik Center!

This center operates out of Minneapolis, MN, and offers countless services to anyone who has a need. Those services include distributing donated clothing items and children's shoes, summer lunch club for children, Vacation Bible School, women's homeless shelter, adult bible studies, prison ministries, and much, much more! Everything is offered free of charge to those in need.

We will be helping with some of those operations as needed, specifically with the children's lunch club.

Lodging will be at North Central University, as well as meals.

There will be opportunities to get out and have fun seeing the attractions in the area. (Twins game, anyone?)

Of course, we will also have a lot of fun making memories together, while serving the Lord!!

Grab a registration form at the Momentum Bulletin Board at church, or download a form from the Momentum Webpage.

Tomorrow Night...

Hey Momentum -

I hope you are ready for the most extreme fall kickoff known to man, because in just over 24 hours, we will be startin' up a party that is going to rock your face off. It all begins at 6:00pm in the church parking lot, and this is your reminder not to miss out. There will be a 20 foot rock climbing wall, as well as full size inflatable boxing ring and jousting platforms. And that alone is a great reason to bring a friend, because then you can own them with a pugil stick! Inside, we will have full screen games set up with guitar hero, dance dance revolution, and wii sports. There will be free food and drinks, and absolutely no excuse not to have fun! PLUS - we have a brand new iPod Touch to giveaway to one lucky person. Everyone can enter the drawing, but you will get an extra entry for every person you bring who has not been to a service at Momentum before. So pack the car out and get them here!

We are so pumped for this event, and you do not want to miss out, so make sure you are here tomorrow night (Wednesday, Sept. 23) at 6:00pm when the fun begins! Also don't forget that tomorrow is See You at the Pole, so make sure you head to school early for prayer at the flagpole. Oh, and while you're there...grab a ton a friends and bring them to the kickoff! See you then!

It's Coming...

Counting it down...

sniff, sniff...I miss Momentum!

We know it's been a long, hard summer...but you can wipe those tears from your face because MOMENTUM's BACK! We are so excited to be getting back to the fall schedule beginning this week! Here's a few things you need to know about...

- This sunday is national "Back to Church Sunday" Make sure you make it a priority to attend the service. If you and your family haven't been to church in awhile, we'd love to have you come this sunday! Our sunday classes begin at 9:00am and the worship service is at 10:30am. See you there!

- Our ManTime and TeaTime Groups will be starting back up later this month, but for this coming Sunday night (Sept. 13) the guys and the girls will be meeting together at Pastor Ryan and Liz's house from 6-8. If you need more info or directions, please contact Pastor Ryan at 218-343-7179.

- This coming Wednesday night, September 16th our fall programs kick back off. The buses will be running and we are excited to see everyone back at Momentum. We will be having a "welcome back" night, a chance for us to get to know our new students and for you to meet your leaders for this year. Also, it will be my (Pastor Ryan's) last chance to speak to you on a Wednesday night, and I believe I have something special to share with you. Hope to see you there...6:30-8:00pm.

- The following Wednesday night (Sept. 23rd) is going to be so big and incredible that I can't even begin to describe it to you...we will be kicking off the fall with a MASSIVE parking lot party. We'll have a rock climbing wall, an inflatable boxing ring and joust platforms, food, and some full-screen video games. ALSO, we will be giving away an iPod touch to one lucky person. Start inviting your friends NOW...you will not want to miss this. This is a great way to introduce your friends to our youth ministry and get them excited for the fall!

NEEDS for Falll Kickoff Event...

We’re working on planning a big fall kickoff event this year, and I am looking to borrow a couple of things for that evening. Please let me know if you have any of the following that you’d be willing to lend us for our event.
Thanks!

- Dance Dance Revolution (any system) with 2 floor mats. If possible, we’d need to borrow the gaming system as well unless it is for Microsoft reg. xbox
- Nintendo Wii with some interactive group games, inc. controllers.

You are not going to want to miss this event…mark your calendars now for Wednesday, September 23rd, 6:00pm in the parking lot at church.

Fall Kickoff Ideas

So...we're planning a big kickoff event for September, and I want YOUR input as to what you want to see there! You might recall a couple years ago we had a mobile skatepark setup and a band play afterward. What kind of things would you want us to try and bring in to setup in the parking lot? Leave a comment on this post or send an email to info@momentumym.org

August Stuff

Hey Momentum!

A couple things to remind you of! We’re meeting for night 3 of 4 at Bridgemans tonight at 6:30pm. We’ve been having a great time going through the book of Philippians together. Even if you haven’t made it to one yet, we’d love to see you tonight.

ALSO – we’re hosting a bonfire this Sunday evening. There will be lots of fun and food to go around, and it’s a great chance to reconnect with some of the friends that you haven’t gotten to see over the summer. We’ll all meet together at the church and ride together. The event is FREE. We’ll be leaving church at 6:30pm and returning by 10:00pm.

And guys….I need you to get your registrations in if you’re planning on going on the ManTime Wilderness Adventure. Registrations need to be in no later than this Wednesday (Aug.26) so that we can make the appropriate reservations. You are not going to want to miss this weekend…camping and canoeing at Taylor Falls. Register online or grab a form from the website and hand it in to me by Wednesday.

I’m also looking for input/ideas on what we should have as a part of our big fall kickoff event this year. If you have ideas, leave a comment on our Facebook page or website, or just email it back to me!

Thanks! I’m getting excited for things to kick back off in a few weeks with our regular service. Mark your calendars…Wednesday September 16th the fun begins again!
