V BEETS I

MSM SUMMER 2012 Daniel 1:1-8

WELCOME

a call to be strange

I can only imagine what is was like for Daniel to be brought in to captivity, pressured to participate in sinful behaviors, and asked by God to do things that made him look “strange” to those around him.

This summer we are going to dig deep in to what it means to be set apart for God’s purpose and possess a willingness to do whatever God asks (for Daniel that was eating vegetables). We have some awesome events planned that are designed to help us dig deep into community, dig deep into God’s word, and dig deep into what it means to be a middle school student that is “strange” to the world around them.

Take a moment to check out the exciting opportunities we have for middle school students this summer and be sure to mark those calendars. You’ll find ministry opportunities for both 5th/6th and 7th/8th, so be sure to mark those as well. If you find that you have additional questions, don’t hesitate to contact our Student Ministries Office (calvarystudents@calvarygr.org) at ext. 5181. We look forward to all God has in store for us this summer as we HEART BEETS.

the pieces that I just want to quickly throw it all back in the box. The other thing I think of is the holy, infinite, all powerful God of the universe who wants to connect with us. This Summer guys are invited to join us Wednesday mornings as we build relationships, laugh together, and study how God desperately wanted to connect with the Israelites through Moses and how that relates to us today. Bring your Bible and note paper as we dig deeper in friendships and God’s Word. You won’t want to miss it!
