DEFY 12:2
EMBRACE Christ COMMIT to Christ REACH the world through Christ

Romans 12:2 Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what Gods will is - his good, pleasing, and perfect will.

See You After the Pole Rally Sept. 28th, 2011 6:30-9pm A time to celebrate what took place at the ags around the schools in Wichita. We join other youth groups and teens across Wichita at Central Christian Church and have an awesome time of worship & celebration. This is a great event to invite those friends that might have asked what you were doing at the ag so early in the morning.

Re-Visioning Workshop
7am @ your Flag Pole See You at the Pole is all about coming together with other Christian students 1 day of the year to pray for your school, your classmates, our nation!! This years theme is awesome, its all about coming together for 1 purpose. There is something powerful about see teenagers gathered around your ag pole. There are several things that I love about this event. 1. You are taking a stand for what you believe in. 2. It opens doors for those who dont know Christ to ask questions. 3. You nd other people in your school who believe the same thing you do. 4. Prayer Works!! Students praying for their school will change their school! Be willing to make this difference for Christ in your schools!
Mark Your Calendar

Over the next 6 weeks during our evening service times we are going to be going through a re-visioning workshop, starting Sept. 11. I want to encourage you, especially those of you who are older, to attend during these times. While it might not sound like the most exciting thing in the world, it is very important to the future of our church. We will be going through different stages to help our church see where God wants us to be and who God wants us to be as a church. I have always felt that our students are a vital part of our church, you are a part of this church and are the future of the church. I think it could a great learning opportunity to see the real purpose of church, which then translates into the purpose of our student ministry. Personally I think us having a presence there at this workshop would be very beneficial to our church as a whole. Your thoughts do count and I know that we would love to have you there to represent the younger generations voice. We are going to be discussing the future of where God is going to take us. YOU are and important piece in Gods master plan for us as they body of Christ!!
