Feb. 20th The Big Picture:

New Testament Overview
This week, we’ll look at what happened in
history between the Old Testament and the Feb. 27th Outreach Night
New Testament, plus we’ll see how the
New Testament came to be, and why we March 5th How to Study the Bible
think it’s accurate and reliable.
March 12th No DV8—Spring Retreat
Wednesday Night, 7:00 to 8:30

Your Help May Be the Key

Next Wednesday night, we’re not having DV8. Instead, we’re changing things up a bit from
the normal format. The aim for this is for our students to invite friends that do not go to
church anywhere to come with them. It will be at the same time as DV8, from 7:00 to 8:30,
but we will not do Small Groups on that night. We will worship with music, have some other
activities, and I will give a clear presentation of the gospel.

You can help by 1) making sure your teen is there that night; 2) encouraging them to bring
friends, and 3) by offering to go pick them up and take them home. Our goal is to reach stu-
dents that need to know Christ, so please do whatever is possible to help them get there next
Wednesday night.

What’s Coming Up No One Has A Release Form

Feb. 27 Outreach Night at DV8
Since we update the release forms each
year, the ones from 2007 are no good (in
Mar. 10-12 Spring Retreat
fact, I’ve already shredded them). So, in-
stead of the last-minute rush to get it done,
Mar. 16 Palm Sunday
and then trying to find a notary, why not do
it now? It will be good for anything we do in
Mar. 23 Easter Sunday 2008, so you only have to do it once. You
can pick one up at the Information Desk.
