Happy Thursday and Levi Strauss Day!  Yes, we really have a day set aside to honor a pair of jeans.  It's where we are I suppose.  Anyway, here are a few things we'd love for you to be aware of today, as you honor your own favorite pair of jeans!

Coming Up

Just a few things we've got coming up quickly and one thing to go ahead and put on your radar as we approach summer.  It will definitely be here before we know it.

• DNOW - March 13th, 9a-5p:   DNOW looks a bit different this year but we will definitely have the opportunity to get together for this huge event.   Details can be found HERE, along with the registration link.
• DNOW HELP - Typically we would need host homes for DNOW.  With this year being a bit different, we now stand in need of other things.
  1. FOOD TRUCK type vehicle - We are hoping to set up a space outside to serve lunch.  We will be having snow cones as a treat but need another food truck type vehicle to serve lunch from.  If you have something like this or an idea of how we can pull this off, get with Chris or Andrew. 
  2. Volunteers - We'll definitely have many of our leaders helping with this event but could always use more.  If you're interested in serving food, holding a door, watching the halls or simply just "being here,"  let us know.
  3. Sign ups - WE DESPERATELY NEED STUDENTS TO SIGN UP IF THEY PLAN TO COME.  While the lack of having host homes may ease this burden, we still need to have a good idea of the number of students attending. 

• FREE Summer Camp - I know what you're thinking but no, camp is not free.  Free is our theme word this year thus, FREE CAMP.   We are meeting as leaders in the next few weeks to begin discussing our summer camp.  We WILL have camp on June 28th-July 2nd.  Our question is what will this camp look like and where will it be.  We ask that you pray for us as we meet and that you begin now to reserve that week for Free Camp, in whatever capacity that ends up being.

Last Night

We were able to finish up our time in Hebrews last night.  Our hope was simple, simply say what the Bible says.  Hebrews is a great book, though hard at times to follow.  It's a book that helps us see the greatness of Jesus and his impact in this world.  What is so great about Jesus?  What a question!   But a question that is answered all throughout Scripture, including Hebrews.   In a simple explanation, Hebrews teaches us that Jesus is Greater!   He's greater than all the "good" things of the Old Testament.  He fulfills or completes a work God began in the beginning, through different means.  Now this work finds it's home in the complete, finished work of Jesus.  That's great news.  That's Hebrews.

Last night we concentrated on understanding our response to this Jesus.  In light of all we've heard about how Jesus is greater, what now?  What is the right response to this?   Hebrews 11-13 help with this.  Below is both the sermon notes and video.  I pray you'll watch, read and apply as we partner together to lead students to know and follow Christ.
