This Summer @ SWAT Youth Ministries

Now that summer-time has arrived, the excitement is building at SWAT Youth Ministries, and with so many events coming up this summer you won't want to miss out!

Here's a little about what we have going on...

 As a fundraiser for our youth ministry, we will be running two TNT Fireworks stands in Murfreesboro, TN. This fundraiser should generate enough money for our ministry to make it through the rest of the year, including three large events (summer camp, The Gate, and Fall Retreat). We need EVERYONE'S help in running these stands, so please click here to sign up!

 As reward for those students who participate in working the fireworks tents, we will be going to Holiday World on Saturday August 6th, and those who work at least two shifts each will be able to attend free of charge.

July 11th - 15th will be our Summer Camp at Beersheba Springs. This year's theme is Extreme Days and will include access to several extreme sports and activities for those in attendance.

Our Sr. High students will have the opportunity to go to The Gate in Dayton Ohio, from July 28th-31st. You can learn more information about this event by clicking here.

OUR MID-WEEK SCHEDULE HAS CHANGED! We now meet from 6:00-8:00 Wednesday evenings. Please be sure to come and see what's happening here on Wednesday nights and be sure to bring a brown-bag meal each Wednesday in July.

August 6th & 7th will be our kickoff weekend, beginning with the Saturday trip to Holiday World (you can attend Holiday World with us on Saturday even if you don't work the fireworks tents, however you will be required to pay your own way) and concluded on Sunday evening with a concert by KNAPSACKHEROES!. This will be an awesome weekend so plan to come and bring a friend!

Come and see what's happening at SWAT Youth Ministries!

April Fools- Cook's Youth Updates

March was such an exciting month! From worshiping with and getting to meet the Titans punter, Brett Kern, to having two weeks off of school and spending one of those weeks in Atlanta for our Spring Break Mission Trip, the month was full of exciting new experiences. Here are a few pictures from the experience in Atlanta.

This month at SWAT Youth Ministries promises to be a full and exciting month as well. Here's what we have coming up:

Our Wednesday night discipleship study this month focuses on the Life of Jesus but the method is quite different. We are learning through story telling which allows each youth to better insert themselves into Jesus' story. Very exciting!

Sunday April 10th @ 6pm- Mini Gate at Providence UMC

Sunday April 17th @ 4:30pm- Soul Surfer at Providence Theater

Sunday April 24th- Easter  NO YOUTH

Hello March... Hello Spring Break

It's here! March is here, and with it comes one of the biggest trips of the year... our SPRING BREAK MISSION TRIP TO ATLANTA!

March 13-19, 2011

This trip promises to be full of new experiences and opportunities to serve and love God's people. While in Atlanta, we will be serving at two Salvation Army locations, doing such things as feeding the hungry and connecting with and caring for His children. 

We will also have a fun-day during the trip which will include a tour of the Atlanta Braves stadium, a visit to the World of Coca Cola, a tour of the CNN Studios, and more. Please keep us in your prayers throughout the week.

Also this month, we had an awesome worship experience led by the Perfect Peace Band with Tennessee Titans punter, Brett Kern, as the guest speaker.

Get excited because we're doing some exciting things this year at SWAT Youth Ministries.

SWAT YOUTH: February Updates

What an awesome start to the new year! In January, we kicked off the new year right with our "Launch" mid-week series and normal Sunday programming, but capped off the month with our annual trip to WARMTH IN WINTER! Seventeen youth from Cooks went to the event with us, and many came away saying that it was the best ever.

This month we're going deeper. Our mid-week series focuses on Love.

We kicked this series off with some great discussion this Wednesday night, exploring our ideas about love, and discussing the idea of unconditional love. 

So here's what is coming up over the next few weeks.

Feb. 6th @ 4:30- Cox Home

Feb. 13th- Visiting Cook's Shut-Ins

Feb. 20th- Worship with Joe Combs

Feb. 25th- Girls Night

Come and See!
