It’s a sad day - no club this coming Tuesday the 7th.  I’m gone for the week in Chicago - but that doesn’t mean that you still can’t get together with your friends - so call them up and have a good time without me.

July 18th-19th are looking like 2 great days this summer.  We’re headed out to camp Patmos on Kelleys Island for two days to spend time exploring the island, tubing, water-skiing, and general tom-foolery (that means having fun).

ReDirect is all about learning what it means to really follow Jesus with our lives.  Unlike some other times when it’s mostly me talking this will be a chance for a lot of discussion and conversation - it’s really a lot of fun.  You should be getting a flyer in the mail but you’re more than welcome to print one out here and send it on in.  The trip is limited to 25 students so make sure you sign up early.  Also make sure your parents know that they won’t be able to sign up online (we’re working on that) so they can either turn form in to Caitie at the office, or send them in through the mail.

I’m pumped - it’s gonna be a great trip.

Hey - This Coming Tuesday (June 16th) We’re going to be having Club JV at Solon Park (map here).  We’re going to hang out, play some volleyball, grill up some food.  It’ll be sweet. So come hungry (bring $5 for food) and bring your friends.  Have a great week and I’ll see you soon.

Hey the Pastors Conference is this week - soooo - Club JV has been changed up a little.  We won’t be meeting in the same way that we usually do but we would love to have you come to the conference Tuesday night.  A man named John Lennox from England will be teaching Tuesday night at 7:00.  So. . .  come, bring your parents, find someone to sit with, and have a great time.

Next week we’ll be back to normal at the Warehouse.

See you soon,

Jon

Put the parkas and uggs (or whatever you kids wear these days) away.  Summer is almost here - aaaaaaaand - that means a new calader with new events.  So here it is, the long awaited may-august calendar, which means that school is almost over, the pool will be open soon and i’m gonna go dig out my arm floaties and sunscreen. . . can you say cannonball.

Have a great time at small groups this week.

Make sure to wait 30 minutes after eating before getting in the pool - otherwise you’ll get cramps, or the seagulls will get you - i forget which one.

Jon

Enjoy your weekend.

And By Musketeers I mean Marty, Frank And Chris (Mustaches = awesome).  Curious as to how much fun things can be when the trifecta takes over? . . . I would be.   I’ll be out of town this week and that’s why these three fellows have kindly offered to run things Tuesday night.  So prepare for a fun time - bring yourselves and a friend it looks like it’s going to be a great time.  Chris brings the fun, Frank spins the records, and Marty opens The Word. I’m bummed I’m going to miss it - but I’ll see you all soon.  

Have A Great Week!

Jon

Well T.C.T. is over - Egypt just made it - that was INCREDIBLY close.   Well congrats to Egypt and all their hard work.  I hope that you guys had as much fun as I did and took advantage of an opportunity to bring your friends and hang out.  Well just because March is over doesn’t mean the fun is over.  Don’t forget that this coming week we have powerhouse (those are our smallgroups).  And after that we’ll be back at the warehouse for Club JV again.  You can also check out pictures from T.C.T. week 4  (HERE).

P.S.   Want one of those sweet t-shirts?   Bring $10 to the next Club JV and you can have your very own.

See you guys Sunday

Jon
