No Meeting this Wednesday or Next: Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

No meeting this Wednesday or next ... hopefully we'll see you at the Christmas Eve Service this Friday at 7:30 pm or at our Sunday services.  If not, see you on January 3rd for our first Wednesday meeting of the new year!

Winter Slam 2011: Meet the Band

Meet the Band: Relevant Worship isn’t about being hip, funny or famous. Which isn’t to say the 8-person group is without those traits. Singer Chris Lucas' hair can be seen two blocks away, so he's hard to forget. Fellow front man, Anthony Hoisington, is plotting a gig on Mars. Guitarist Matt Poulsen will tell you he looks cool in his wedding photos.

It's just that, if Relevant Worship was in the music business simply to be on posters & lunchboxes, they would probably be called "Relevant Rock" or something clever like "Jesus Jams". But it isn’t in it for those reasons.
The band is called Relevant Worship and, all kidding aside, each member is fully committed to Jesus' command in Matthew: Go. Preach. Teach.

This Wednesday: Christmas Party (What You Need to Bring)

This Wednesday, December 15th is going to be our final meeting of 2010 and we're going to be having a Christmas Party of sorts.  For the majority of the night we're going to be building and decorating Gingerbread Houses.  Sounds like fun doesn't it?!  But that's not all ...

On top of that we're going to be doing a White Elephant Christmas Gift Exchange.  If you would like to be a part of this exchange bring a wrapped gift that costs no more than $5.

So to sum up what you need to bring for this coming Wednesday night at 6:45 pm ... Here's your list:

• a bag of fun candy to share with the group for decorating the houses.
• a wrapped gift that costs no more than $5 for the gift exchange

If you have any questions, please contact us at youth@devonshirechurch.org
