It's been a busy month here at Cook's. Between a BIG Super Bowl Sunday, church wide meetings about values, mission and vision, Ash Wednesday services, and more, we haven't been able to get our monthly blog update out until today! What a blessing! With over 100 in attendance for our Super Bowl party, and heavy youth involvement in our church's planning for future years, we're extremely excited and blessed to be so busy.
Now, we want to look ahead at what's coming up the rest of this month and other large happenings coming up in the very near future.
With the arrival of Lent we've asked the youth, "what do you want to be like when Easter arrives?" Now is the time that we are challenging each youth to pursue that vision by following through with his/her commitment.
March 3rd, we'll be hosting a "Mini Gate" sponsored by The Gate Annual Youth Conference. This is a completely free event and it's open to individuals and groups from all across the Nashville area. The last time we hosted this event (August 2010), we had over 180 youth in attendance. We hope to have similar numbers this year.
Our guys & girls purity retreats are coming up soon and sign-ups are available now. The guys retreat will be April 5th-7th and the girls will be April 12th-14th. This event is for 8th-12th graders only and the cost is $75. We hope you can join us!
If you have any questions or need any other information, feel free to e-mail our youth director Jordan at jordan@cooksumc.org or call the church office during regular business hours at 615-449-2573.
Be the Change! Jordan
