2017 8th Grade Promotion

6/16/15 – Incoming Jr High

“Incoming” is an MPC youth tradition that’s been going on around here long before I ever walked onto campus. It happens the week after school gets out, so we get right to welcoming the incoming grade levels into our youth ministry program (6th grade into Jr High; 9th grade into High School). I liken it to tossing a water grenade into a crowd, screaming out a warning cry, “INCOMING!!!!!!!!” Yea, it’s kinda like that.

This year we had a pool party and BBQ. Men’s & Women’s Ministries were generous enough to supply the food and do the grillin’ for us (picture below: these people are incredible). We had many new incoming youth show up, some new leaders and of course the usual crazies. We played the alliteration name game too, which is always good for a few laughs and pretty much guarantees you’ll never forget someone’s name. It was a great night and we’re excited to hang out with all these new 6th graders! NEXT WEEK: High School Incoming.

UPCOMING EVENTS – Summer 2015 Is Upon Us

We mailed out our 2015 Incoming welcome letter to the Incoming 6th grade families for Jr High, and Incoming 9th grade families for High School. We’re excited for the new groups to move on up, which will be taking place June 16 & 23. If you’d like to read the letters, you can do so by clicking on the previous links (red text).

You should have already received our Summer calendar in the mail, but if not let us know and we’ll get one right out to you. If you need to update your address, click on the “Sign Up” tab at the top of the page, then click the “Youth Ministry Mailing List” link. You can also view the online calendar by clicking, uh, “Calendar.”

Hooray Summer.
