April Update

A new month is upon us and with it comes a new set of events for Teen Impact. This has been a whirlwind year in my mind thus far! We are 3 months through and I feel like things might finally be settling down to normalcy... whatever that looks like. Thank you to those that prayed for us while we were away in Florida. We had a fantastic time. Be praying Pastor Mike and his family as it is their turn to get some much needed vacation in the Sunshine State.

- Visitation
We will have visitation on April 3rd and 17th. I'd encourage parent and teen alike to come out to visitation. This is a great time to visit those that have visited MHBC and to visit those that might need some encouragement in our own congregation.

- SNAC
We have a SNAC this month coming up this Sunday, April 6th. The SNAC will not be at the church this month, but will be hosted by the Howard family. We will pass along directions as we get them and would love it if some parents would possibly be willing to help us transport teens from the church to the Howard's and vice versa as is necessary. Also, the time for the SNAC will be a little different this month. It will run from 7:00-8:30.

- Youth Group Activity
It seems like forever since we had an activity. This one should be pretty fun. We are looking to play a game of Human Clue. You've probably played the board game version of it, so we will try to bring the game to life for the teens. We don't need anything from the parents except to drop your kids off at 6 and pick them up at 8 at night. The activity will be April 12th. If you though do want to help out at the activity, let me know and we can figure something out.

- Prayer Breakfast
We haven't had one of these in awhile either. These are special times for our teens and this prayer breakfast will be at our apartment, 20 North Star Circle, on April 26th.  We will have some yummy breakfast food, spend some great time in prayer, and go over a chapter in the book of Hebrews together.

If you have any questions about Teen Impact or would like to help us out in any way, shape, or form, let me know. You can reach me at (870) 706-7086 or e-mail me at nicholasfox521@gmail.com. Continue to pray for the teens to grow. We are seeing many of them taking steps towards being more God-focused teenagers. They need the encouragement from mom and dad as well. We love your kids and have enjoyed ministering to them and you.

I'd also encourage you to lift me up in prayer if you think of it. I'll be preaching the evening service this Sunday on John 11 and the raising of Lazarus from the dead. I'm nervous, excited, and anticipated God to do great things and I would love to see you come out.
