BIG NEWS! retreats, easter, chicago, vols, etc.


1.  High School "Back To The Line" Retreat is April 27-29.  The deadline for registering and paying is Sunday, April 15.  The cost is $150.  The retreat is dealing with relationships, sex, purity and forgiveness.

2.  Don't go to church this Easter Sunday!  I mean it.  Instead, we are asking that all of the bsm families go to the activities at VR on Saturday, April 7.  Then students will HELP LEAD THE CHILDREN'S MINISTRY during the 5pm Saturday Worship time.  We will then plan something fun for students afterward.  By participating in this you will be not only inspiring younger ones to follow Jesus with you, but you will be freeing up space for visitors on Sunday.

3.  Chicago Team Meeting on Sunday, April 22 from noon to 2pm.  We will go over some details about the trip and learn how to write some fund-raising letters.  This meeting is mandatory!

4.  Volunteer Dinner on Saturday, April 14.  If you are currently serving students with the bsm, or would like to serve, we would like to buy you dinner.  We will meet from 6 to 8pm at the VR Campus.  Childcare will be provided, but please RSVP by Monday, April 9.

5.  Earn Money For Summer Events.  There are two events that you can work at and earn money for bsm Summer Events.  Both are at the FB Campus:  April 8 and 21st.  Contact Tim Scott (tscott@thebranch.org) for details.

6.  There are still spots open for our Chicago Mission Team.  Contact Ryan right away if interested.
