I Dare You!  

July 11 to 17, 2010 - Ages 9 - 14

Whether you are an adrenaline seeker that strives to follow through on every dare, or you are the one who usually shares the truth in a game of Truth or Dare, we ahve to face it - we are all placed in situations that take us far beyond our comfort levels. Are we meant to live life on the wild side? Throughout the week we will explore the truths that the Bible dares us to live our lives by and the excitment that it can bring when we follow through in accepting those truths.

Believe it or Not...                                           

July 17 to 24, 2010 - Ages 7 - 12

Are Do you always believe the stories that your friends tell you about their summer adventures. Are the things you see on TV fake or really beleiveable? With the advancements in technology, almost everything that we see in this day and age appears to be real. But do we really have to see something to beleive that it is true? The Bible is pretty old and has some really outrageous stories in it that are sometimes hard to beleive. This week - it’s up to you to decide whether you believe it or not...

We Will Rock You!

To Be or Not To Be...   

August 2 to 7, 2010 - Ages 9 - 14

HShakespeare may not alwys make sense, but when we read the famous line To be or not to be..., it might just get us wondering about how that applies to us in the world today.  What is the real meaning of life? Are we able to face the world on our own, or is there an easier and more reliable way to get through life? We need to take action and be the person that we are called to be in Jesus Christ. Making the decision - To be or not to be may be the most important thing you ever do. Join us and find out...

The JAMES Bond              

August 8 to 14, 2010 - Ages 14 - 17

Ever Do you wish you could own a car like James Bond? Do you ever want to solve all of the mysteries that the world has to offer? Starring as an undercover spy, you will be able to discover the truths  that the disciple James presents in the Bible in order for you to find the bond that Jesus offers to you and everyone else. This week you will have the opportunity to be a front line agent with the reward of something that is even better than Bond’s car... Come ready for a week that will let you know how to live a life where Tomorrow Never Dies!
