SSM Weekly Update - October 16

New Wednesday Night Series

  We will be kicking off a new series this Wednesday called Not a Fan.  The series is inspired by Kyle Idleman's book in which he challenges readers to determine whether or not they are a fan or follower of Jesus.  Many of our students began the Not a Fan journey a couple of weeks ago as part of RAD Groups.  Every student in the SSM will now have an opportunity to be challenged and encouraged over the next several weeks on Wednesday nights. 
  Remember, the Core opens at 5pm and worship starts at 6:45pm! 


Trunk or Treat
  There are still spots available for students who would like to work the concession stand during Trunk or Treat on October 27th from 1:00pm -6:30pm in order to raise money towards mission trips.  There is also a need for adults who are willing to work/supervise during the time and make money toward a student's mission trip.  If you or your child is interested then send Wes an email and mention the name and hours available for the event.  Opportunities are limited so do not wait. Wes will send out the work schedule a few days prior to the 27th.

SOUL'D OUT
  On Sunday, October 28th, we will be focusing on collecting hundreds of new pairs of shoes to give to Shoes for Orphan Souls.  Not only will we be collecting shoes, the student ministry will be going SHOELESS for the entire day as a way a better understanding the importance and need for shoes.  Students will begin hearing more about this on Wednesday night.  We are challenging every family to bring a pair of new shoes with them to the morning worship service on the 28th.

MEN of all GENERATIONS
  On Saturday, November 3rd, men of all ages will join together in an event of competition and food.  Competitions will include tomahawk throwing, horseshoes, bb gun challenge, and gunslingers.  Each team will consist of 2 men 60 or older, 2 men 25-59, and 2 men 14-24.  If your child would like to participate but does not have a team then let the SSM office know ASAP.  We are encouraging as many man as possible to come out for the four hour event.  Cost is $10 per participant and sign-up ends October 28th.  You or your child can sign up individually or as a team in the Connections or by contacting the SFBC office at 972.226.7105.
