MEET THE INTERNS!!!

My name is Becca Hill. I'm from Hermitage, TN, which is right outside of Nashville. I'm a junior a Middle Tennessee State University in Murfreesboro, TN where I'm currently studying Elementary Education. I attend a campus ministry called Raiders for Christ and it has been such a huge blessing in my life! I don't know where I would be without my family and friends. They're definitely a big part of my life. I am thrilled about being a youth intern here at Robinson Avenue this summer and I can't wait to see what all God has in store. I enjoy reading, scrapbooking, and doing outdoor activities like walking on the greenway, biking, and white water rafting. I got involved with the Inner City Ministry through RFC and I have enjoyed helping out with that. I love working with children of all ages. I was involved with the youth group at my home congregation, Lebanon Road Church of Christ, during my junior high and high school years and I have been involved with the college ministry at Kingwood Heights Church of Christ during my time at MTSU. I'm really looking forward to working with the Robinson Avenue youth group! 

My name is Adam Elrod from Murfreesboro, Tennessee.  My home congregation is outside the city in Lascassas where I’ve been most of my life.  I’m an Art Education major at Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU).  I’ll be starting my senior year when I return in the fall.  I’m an active member at the Raiders For Christ (RFC), which is the student ministry on the MTSU campus. In my spare time I’ve started learning photography and hope to become a professional.  My goal is to be an art teacher and a football coach.

            Along with my teaching career, I hope to become a youth minister for smaller congregations and through this internship I hope to learn more about the process and work that youth ministry involves.  I’d like to take what I learn here back to Tennessee and work with the churches there.  I’m very excited to work with Robinson Avenue Church of Christ.

NOTE:  BE SURE AND CHECK OUT THE SIGN UP SHEET ON MY DOOR TO HAVE THEM OVER TO HAVE DINNER AT YOUR HOUSE AND GET TO KNOW THEM!!

THIS SUNDAY: GUYS/GIRLS OUTINGS

Hello all, 

A little change to the calendar for this Sunday!  With the point of CRAVE being to bring a bunch of people to, and with this being a holiday weekend, we're OFFICIALLY GOING TO POSTPONE CRAVE UNTIL NEXT SUNDAY NIGHT.

INSTEAD...

All of the people that are still in town will be able to do something special with the NEW INTERNS after evening church services that night..

GIRLS' NIGHT:

The ladies will be going out to eat and coming back to the church building to BAKE COOKIES and do girly things..They will need a few bucks to buy dinner.  MOMS WELCOME!!!

GUYS' NIGHT:

The guys will be going bowling.  They'll need money to bowl (about $8) and get a burger (cost depends on how much they eat, of course). DADS WELCOME!! 

BOTH OF THESE WILL BE FROM RIGHT AFTER CHURCH UNTIL ABOUT 9!  This is a great way for us to welcome and support our interns!!

YOU'RE INVITED TO HEAR JERAMY TONIGHT

Hello all, 

I just wanted to invite any of you that would like to to come to the teen room tonight.  Jeramy Jones is going to be sharing his story of survival and God's power to bring us through the impossible.  I would really like to encourage him with as many faces in the crowd as possible.  So come on out!

HONORING OUR SENIORS

The time has come to honor our graduating seniors, believe it or not folks.  As in years past, we will be doing that on two occasions..

SENIOR ROAST
This will be May 12, in the Family Center at 6:30 in the evening.  The cost will be $7 per person, excluding the Seniors of course, and I can assure you there's a great meal in store for you, along with some fantastic festivities.  Scott Ware and Jimmy Allen will be your emcee's for the evening, so hilarity will inevitably ensue.  Mrs. Passmore and her crew are working very hard to make this a memorable night for everybody!

SENIOR SUNDAY
We will also have a special portion of our Sunday morning service on May 22 dedicated to honoring our Seniors.  We will be presenting them with a special, new bible, and the elders will have a special prayer time for these amazing teens and their families and future plans.

Everyone is of course invited to come and help us honor this amazing bunch of teens!
