Crosswise Fall Retreat

Our Fall Retreat is being finalized! It will be a wonderful time to renew ourselves in continuing our spiritual formation through the study and exhortation of Scripture at a cabin in Donnelly, Idaho. We will leave here Friday the 7th of November around 6pm and return Sunday the 9th around 2 in the afternoon, giving plenty of time for you to complete homework and catch up on household duties, not to mention you have all of friday off from school! We'll be bringing the projector for worship in the cabin as well as for a late night movie on Saturday. We hope to go to the Gold Fork Hot Springs on Saturday afternoon before dinner and relax in the naturally heated water. Steve Gross has also offered to lead a very short hike to a "Lord of the Rings" like grove close to their cabin for whoever would like to take part in that as well. We will spend a lot of time in fellowship with one another, playing crazy games and enjoying the presence of God as we seek to know what this passage of Scripture means: "Whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do everything for the glory of God." (1st Corinthians 10:31). I hope you can join us.

The cost is $60/Student and it includes everything (including an awesome T-Shirt to remember the event). We need to know who is going 2 weeks prior so that we can order t-shirts based on size and prepare for the retreat! It's going to be awesome!!!

Two Fall Programming Notes

This Fall, Xwise will be implementing two new programs to strengthen the faith of the students’ and to encourage fellowship.

The first will be a girls small group which will happen every Wednesday night from 5:30 to 6:30 (before youth group, during GPS dinner) where they will be discussing a book together and sharing life. This place will be a time for deepening their lives as disciples of our Lord and Savior, as well as spending time sharing prayer requests, concerns, and strengthening their relationships in fellowship.

The second program will be another weekly event, Sunday Morning Bible Study, taking place every Sunday morning at 9:30am. This will be a time for those who are desiring a slower and deeper walkthrough in scripture. We will provide donuts and orange juice and it is our hope that the students who come will sit with us during the contemporary service after.

Both of these programs fulfill our desire to nurture and develop disciples which is our overarching goal in the youth ministry. We would appreciate your continued prayer support that these new programs might be to the glory of God and the nourishment of His people.
