So in the last couple of weeks we split the Student Ministry into Fuel (Middle School) and Fusion (High School). The biggest complaint I have heard is from a middle schooler saying they wanted to be fed during the middle of the week too! (Btw that is awesome) I love it when students want more Jesus! In my time here at BridgePointe I have never had a student say I wish we had more games, its always we want more worship, more praying, more Bible Stuff! These are complaints I will gladly deal with.
In the last couple of weeks we have had an outpouring of the Holy Spirit at our times together. Things are happening, lives are being changed and the presence of God is being felt in the room with us. God is honoring the longing of our hearts to see God move and to feel Him with us is. I am blown away at the way God is meeting us. I am always thinking about how can we come up with the next cool thing and then I realized I don't have to. Nothing can compete with the presence of God. No Xbox, no TV show, no sport, nothing can compete when God decides to show off.
So please join me in praying that God would continue to show Himself at Fuel and Fusion because something is happening here and I want to be apart of it and I think you do as well.

Here it is the new look of Student Life! It kinda looks like a carbon chain and its supposed to. Carbon is the building block of life, just like I believe participation in Student Life is the building block for you Spiritual Life. All of the main ministry aspects of Student Life are represented in the logo, Student Life, Fusion, Fuel, Elements, Depth, and Leap. Check out the our website to see what each hexagon means!

ReBranding, ReLaunching, ReTooling
Latter this week we will be launching all the new logos and even a completely new ministry in Student Life at BridgePointe. Its pretty exciting actually and nerve racking. Questions come up like: How will parents receive the changes, will students show up? Does anyone care that we spent hours racking our brains about what all this will look like for this school year? Will it work? Will the Kingdom of God grow because of these efforts? Just because something looks good doesn't mean it wont be a colossal failure. But its important that we go to the effort of this Relaunch. The new logos are meant to give everything the same feel and look, to make our ministry seem more purposeful instead of a collection of things to do.
Here is the point I am working on this morning. ReBranding is an important part of life. We reinvent who we are all the time. Especially at this time of year with students getting ready to go back to school or moving from Middle School to High School. This is an opportunity to rebrand yourself. You dont have to be the person you were last year. Most of the dumb stuff you did has been forgotten, the bad haircut you got has grown out, and you got contacts instead of glasses.
This year you can rebrand yourself, get better friends, try a sport or quit a sport, actually do your homework this year. Start praying for the strength to be the person God wants you to be. Go for it. Sure you might fail but safe is boring.

Motion is Coming
Today we have been working on Motion. Motion is a conference experience that is put on by Church of the Highlands in Birmingham, AL, the fastest growing church in America. It will be an amazing weekend for our students, with artists like Starfield and Leeland leading the worship experiences. I can't wait to see God move in our students at this event. Motion will be July 28-30 and cost $155 per person. Sign up by July 10. We have intentionally stepped down our summer programming to make it easier to afford this experience. Instead of spending $20 here and there we want to focus the resources on an event that will have the most return on the investment. That is how much we believe in Motion. It is easy to sign up your student at the Motion Signup Form. Feel free to contact Jarad with any questions. Medical forms are available at www.bridgepointesudents.com
*Michelle Troche will be in the Lobby to take sign ups this weekend as well as you can use bridgepointe giving to pay the registration PAY HERE
