WORD OF LIFE STUDENT MINISTRY comes to Claim the Name Youth Group in Muscatine, Iowa

This Wednesday Night we are going to be FINALLY starting the new Word of Life Program. The picture on the left is what the booklet will look like. Hopefully each of you gave the paper to your parents so they are aware of what we will be doing and what the cost is for the notebook. Everyone will need one in order to participate and earn rewards from the program. Yes, that's right! I said rewards. What are they? You will have to come on Wednesday and see for yourself. The booklets cost $21.99 each, but it will last you the whole year! So this Wednesday be ready to hear all about the program and have some fun too! The sooner you purchase your notebook the better! If you and your parents need help paying for the booklet's please see Pastor Jake. Thanks y'all! Seeya Wednesday!

SEE YOU AT THE POLE PICTURES!

SEE YOU AT THE POLE WENT GREAT TODAY!!!

There was a great turnout this morning at the Muscatine High School flagpole! We sang some worship songs, prayed as a large group, and prayed in small groups. Special thanks to the S.O.A.P. group at the high school for running the event this morning. It was neat to see students from the high school step out in front of their peers and sing and pray. God blessed us with great weather too!

Daylan, Hillary, Alexis, Heather, Scott, PJ, and Loren were there this morning from our youth group to gather for prayer. Thanks for coming guys!

Tonight we will hear from the Boucher's how their's went in Aledo!

ALLEN'S HAYRACK RIDE AND BONFIRE PICS!

Thanks for coming, thanks to Thomas' praise band, thanks to the Allen's for an awesome night, and thanks to God for the great weather!!!

THE LAST 2 CHAPTERS :(

Yes, it's a sad day in the life of a Claim the Name youth group member. Our beloved book has come to the end. BUT WAIT!!!! THAT MEANS WE ARE PREPARED TO GET OUT THERE AND SHARE THE GOOD NEWS!!!!

Thank you Mark Cahill for allowing God to use you to write this amazing book on soul winning. It has changed a lot of the teens (and even leaders) mindsets toward the lost, and has made them more bold to get outside their comfort zone and share Jesus with their friends and family! Praise the Lord, glory be to His name!

SEE YOU AT THE POLE WEDNESDAY!!!

Hey everyone! This Wednesday at 7:00 a.m. is SEE YOU AT THE POLE! Pastor Jake and Loren will be there with our cool t-shirts on and we want YOU to join us and the other teens from the high school. Remind others to be there and make sure you wear your new t-shirts! See you there!(no pun intended)

HAYRACK RIDE AND BONFIRE THIS SATURDAY NIGHT!!!

Hey everyone! Hope you will be able to attend the hay rack ride and bonfire at the Allen's the Saturday Night! We will be leaving from the church at 5:00 PM. If you want to drive yourself (and your parents are o.k. with it) that would be fine. If you don't know how to get there you can follow PJ and Loren to their house. There will be; flag football, a gaga ball pit made out of hay bales, food, hayrides, bonfire, music from Thomas' praise team, and a quick salvation message! You won't want to miss it! This is an opportunity to invite your unsaved friends as well!

Any questions or if you need a ride let Pastor Jake know. Thanks!

This Wednesday - Chapters 11-12

4 chapters left in our book study. These 2 chapters (11-12) are great! Read them, highlight stuff, and be ready for some good discussion Wednesday night!

The times we have spent in discussion and prayer for the names on the WE ARE WITNESSES wall have been great! It's been awesome to see you guys sharing and looking for opportunities to witness to your friends/family. Take what you have learned and use it! James 1:22 says to BE DOERS of the word and not hearers only! We'll keep praying for you and your unsaved friends and family members!

BE BOLD, BE COURAGEOUS, AND BE NOT AFRAID!

Joshua 1:9 - "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go."
