High School Updates for this week at PFB...

Hi Parents,
I just wanted to give you an update on things going on this week at PFB for your high schoolers.  Here's the list:

1).  RUSH, Wednesday at 6pm.  This is our weekly high school meeting for just high school students to be high school students before going over to FLOOD.  It has been a huge success so far.  The first week we saw about 30 high schoolers show up.  Last week was down just a bit.  I want to encourage you to get your high school student there.  If your high schooler is complaining about not knowing anyone, RUSH IS THE REMEDY TO THAT PROBLEM!!! If you have any questions, go ahead and get in touch with Ashley Copenhaver about it (e: acope88@gmail.com; c: 909-938-4737).

2).  FLOOD, Wednesday at 7pm in the worship center.  This Wednesday night is our Thanksgiving Eve service.  I really want to encourage you to make this a yearly family tradition, to join us as we get very intentional about giving thanks to God for all that he does.  If you have any specific questions, let us know at the church (e: calli@pfblive.tv; 909-629-5277, ext. 3044).

3).  After FLOOD on this Wednesday night, we are watching "TO SAVE A LIFE" in the B-building.  Snacks and drinks will be provided.  The movie will start around 8:45 or 9 and end around 10:15 or 10:30.  Here's the trailer.



 It's a great movie geared at teens about the pressures of being a teen but the difference that Jesus does make in a life.  This is a great opportunity for your high schooler to bring a friend who does not know Jesus.

4).  On Friday, we are playing FLAG FOOTBALL.  Click here for all of the information on this event. I know that some of you may be shopping.  Good luck.  :)

I pray that your Thanksgiving is amazing.  Thank you again for allowing us at FLOOD HIGH SCHOOL to partner with you as you raise your high schoolers to love Jesus.

Update from FLOOD...

Hi there,
I just wanted to give you a quick update about what happened on Wednesday night.  IT WAS AWESOME!!! We started a new series called, "PUNCTUATION" (click here to see what it's about).  But here's the thing: God changed things up on me.  Last Friday, while I was sitting in the airport waiting for my flight, I was reading Mark 4-5.  JESUS ROCKED MY WORLD!!! As I read through it I knew that I had to preach for the next few weeks what Jesus had just shown me.  However, this didn't fit with my new series.  And that's when it hit me: When God wants to change things up, he gets the final say, not my series plans.  So, we went with it.  The result: two young ladies stood up to surrender to Jesus.  And the truth: THAT NEVER GETS OLD!!!


God is on the move.  Thank you for praying.  Thank you for allowing us at FLOOD Next Gen to partner with you as you raise your kids to love Jesus.  We consider it a great honor that we do not take lightly.

What a ride,
Brian

Update from The Past Couple Wednesdays at FLOOD

UPDATE: FLOOD on 9/29/2010

Here is the video of the message that Brian's cousin, Megan Fate, gave at FLOOD a week ago yesterday.  I warn you: you may have to change things in your life after watching it.



UPDATE: FLOOD on 10/6/2010

Did you hear heaven celebrating? If not, PAY ATTENTION!!!! :)  Last night I spoke from John 8, the woman caught in the act of adultery.  We looked at how Christ showed compassion to the woman while then challenging and calling her to stop sinning.  It was a message to bring people to a surrendered life to Christ, whether for the first time or for Christians to live as citizens of heaven rather than as citizens of hell.

As I called people to surrender to Christ for the first time, two young ladies stood up.  The place went CRAZY!!! The thing that excited me most (after the fact that they now belong to Jesus) was that they were both brought by other people committed to Flood.  They put into practice the Oikos principle – striving to impact the 8-15 people that God has put into their sphere of influence to encourage them to follow Christ.

On top of the two people surrendering to Christ, four people professed their faith in and love for Jesus by being baptized.  Three were planned and one decided that night as she watched the example of her parents who were both baptized (and by the way, our next baptism service is Wednesday night, November 3rd).

Last night was explosive.  I met a good chunk of people who had come for the first time last night and are excited to make Flood a part of their lives.  I LOVE IT!!! Keep on praying. God is moving.  It’s a stinking blast to be part of it.
