WAVE Update 8/30

 
WAVE UPDATE
"Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life.  No one comes to the Father except through me." 
John 14:6
 
Here is your update for the week! 
 
1.  Sunday Dinner Dates still needed.  Attached to this email is the updated dinner schedule for Sunday WAVE this Fall.  We are still in need for these dates below.  If you are available to help out, please email me the date you would like to help out with.  You can also "tag team" with another parent for a date that has already been filled if you would like. 
 
September 8
November 10
 
2.  If your student will be in town this weekend for Labor Day, don't forget that our next Movie and Game Night: Part 7 is tomorrow night from 5:00-11:00pm!  Free food, games, movie watching, and more!  Invite friends!  We hope to see you there.  WAVE will NOT meet on Sunday, September 1st due to Labor Day weekend. 
 
3.  On Sunday, September 8, WAVE will be switching over to its new time:  5:00-7:30pm.  We are growing and the kids are eager to play games longer, worship more, and study the Bible together!  This is exciting!  We have almost run out of food the past 4 times we have had Sunday WAVE! 
 
4.  Leadership Team Applications for the 2013-2014 school year will be available on Sunday, September 15.  They will be due on Sunday, September 29 by the time WAVE is over.  Leadership Team is a great opportunity for students in grades 10-12.  The main focus is to develop servant hearts and student initiative for WAVE events, fundraisers, and trips.  Students on the LT also have separate Bible studies, get cool LT gear, and take a Leadership Team retreat in the Fall and in the Spring.  Please encourage your student to think about applying!  If you have any other questions, please let me know. 
 
5.  Lastly, Youth Sunday will be on Sunday, September 22 this year.  Students will run both the early and late services.  More details will be coming out next week, but be sure to start putting the buzz in their ears about how fun this is.  Last year the students had a blast!  A signup sheet will be available next Wednesday night.  We will have practice on Wednesday, September 18 from 6:30-8:00pm in the Chapel. 
 
Hope you all have a great long weekend!  See you on Sunday.

WAVE Update 8/16

WAVE UPDATE
Here is your update for the week! 
 
1.  This Sunday night is TRIVIA NIGHT!  Can your student handle the goody bag of surprises?  Trivia night is a lot of fun with review questions from this past semester to see how well your student was listening.  Two teams are formed and after a team gets 5 questions right, each team member gets to get a prize out of the mystery bag.  You never know what could be inside!  We hope to see your student there this Sunday night. 
 
2.  Secondly, our next WAVE Parent's Meeting is next Sunday, August 25 from 4:00-5:00pm in the Media Room.  We will be discussing all plans for the fall and future trips.  Please plan on attending!  This is also Rally Day. 
 
3.  Thirdly, Wednesday WAVE Bible Study starts back next week!  I hope your students are excited!  We will be looking at the Parables of Jesus all semester long!  Ask your student this question to see if they are ready for our Bible Study:  "What is a parable?"  6:00-7:00pm for Jr. High and 7:00-8:00pm for Sr. High. 
 
4.  Fourthly, the new Sunday School curriculum will begin on Sunday, September 8.  We will be going through the book of Ecclesiastes and asking the question, "What are you living for?"  This is one of the main themes in the book and definitely relates to our students.  Please encourage them to attend Sunday School!  9:15-10:15am every Sunday morning.   
 
5.  Lastly, a reminder of the WAVE dress policy for the Fall semester regarding our female students:  I know that wearing t-shirts or tank-tops with the big sides cut out on them are in session, allowing people to see sports bras on the sides and a lot of skin underneath, but I ask that this attire not be worn to Wednesday nights, Sunday nights, or any WAVE function.  If your student is coming to WAVE from a sporting event, please have a t-shirt that they can change into.  I will remind all of our female students of this policy this Sunday night.  We do want to encourage modesty at WAVE and at Grace Chapel.  If female students cannot meet these suggestions, I will provide them with a WAVE t-shirt to wear that night.  If you have any questions about this, please don't hesitate to talk to me!  We need to be focusing on the Word and not have wandering eyes all throughout lesson times. 
 
Hope you all have a great weekend and I look forward to spending time with your student this Sunday!

WAVE Update 8/9

WAVE UPDATE
"Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.  Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality." 
Romans 12:12-13
 
Here is your update for the week! 
 
1.  Don't forget that tomorrow we are going on a day trip to the Okatoma River!  Meet at the church at 9:00am.  Please look over the postcard that was sent out in the mail for all trip details.  Students will need money for breakfast and dinner.  Also, there has been a high demand for kayaks.  If your student would like to kayak, it is $10 a student.  Please provide this $10 upfront to me when they arrive tomorrow morning.  Secondly, kayak rental is limited, so not everyone is guaranteed a kayak.  It depends on how many the rental place has available.  We will be back at the church around 6 or 7pm! 
 
2.  This Sunday, August 11, we will be having Sr. Night at WAVE honoring Sidney D'Amico!  Be sure to attend this special event as we celebrate the time we have had with Sidney and pray for her as she begins her next chapter in life at Ole Miss! 
 
3.  Wednesday WAVE Bible Study returns on Wednesday, August 21.  This semester we will be looking at the Parables of Jesus. 
 
4.  Lastly, our next WAVE Parents Meeting is on Sunday, August 25 from 4:00-5:00pm.  Please plan on attending as we discuss the Fall Calendar, curriculum plans, trip plans, and more.  Also be gathering some feedback from your students that you could report at the meeting for ways WAVE can improve! 
 
Hope you all have a great weekend and hopefully I will see your student tomorrow!

WAVE Update 8/2

WAVE UPDATE
Here is your update for the week! 
 
1.  It is hard to believe that summer is already over for our students next week!  Where did the time go?  In order to celebrate "getting back into the swing of things," WAVE will be going down the Okatoma River on Saturday, August 10 in Seminary, MS from 9:00am-6:00pm.  Meet at the church at 9:00am.  Students will need money for breakfast and dinner.  They will also need to pack a lunch and make sure that it is water-proofed.  This is just in case their canoe or kayak flips over!  Definitely don't want to have a soggy lunch!  They will also need a change of clothes, towels, and sunscreen, and preferably water shoes.  Bring all supplies in a back-pack to put in their canoe.  This is a great trip!  Don't miss out!  Pick up at 6:00pm. 
 
2.  Wednesday WAVE Bible Study will start back on Wednesday, August 21st!  This semester we will be looking at the Parables of Jesus!  Don't miss out!  Jr. High meets from 6:00-7:00pm and Sr. High meets from 7:00-8:00pm. 
 
3.  Lastly, a reminder that our next WAVE Parents Meeting is on Sunday, August 25 from 4:00-5:00pm in the Media Room.  Please plan on attending as we discuss our plans for the Fall!  Also be thinking of any comments or feedback from you as the parents and from your students that you might want to share in order to make WAVE even better for your student as we serve the Lord together this Fall! 
 
Hope you all have a great weekend!
