DYE WARS IS BACK!

Once again, Riptide will be joining churches from across the county to participate in one of the craziest and biggest water wars of the year. The students will be divided into three teams representing three different colors. The color represents the color of water that will be provided for that team to fill their super soaker with.

There will be pizza, a speaker, and the greatest water fight of all time. $10 includes dinner and a t-shirt.
Sign ups began this Sunday. Pick up a Permission Slip in the back or fill out online form here. To assure there will be enough food and t-shirts, I need to know how many people are signing up by this Sunday.

Ride Details: We will leave the Journey Parking Lot @ 4:30pm. Students will need to be picked up at College Avenue Baptist Church @ 7pm.
(Warning: students will be wet.)

(This event is for incoming 7th, 8th, and 9th graders only.)

Current Sunday Morning Series:

Can you imagine what it would be like to have a face-to-face encounter with God? Some people in the Bible got an extreme up-close encounter of an extreme God, and their lives were forever changed. Just because these stories happened thousands of years ago, doesn’t mean they have nothing to do with our lives, or that moments like these can't happen today. We are going to look at six stories of people that had a significant meeting with God. We will look at God through the lens of these people and explore deeper meanings of their encounters and how it all relates to our lives. Are you ready to see God Up Close?

July 3- Jacob: Wrestling with Pride (Genesis 32:1-32)

July 10- Daniel: God works miracles before his very eyes (Daniel 6:1-18)

July 17- The Blind Man: Difference between light and darkness (John 9:1-41)

July 24- Paul: Us vs. Them (Acts 9:1-22)

July 31- Bezalel: God is with Us! (Exodus 31:1-11)

August 7- Elijah: God speaks in a whisper (1 Kings 18:16-19:18)

RIPTIDE SUMMER EVENTS

Current Sunday Morning Series:

Nothing shapes our culture quite like the movies. They're a place to ask hard questions, tell stories, think about our past and learn about our hopes. This Sunday, Riptide will join the rest of the ministries at Journey Community Church by kicking off a new series, "God at the Movies."

Below is the schedule of movies we will be teaching from. We are so excited about the next four weeks and looking forward to spotting God in some unlikely places.

Week #1 Soul Surfer
Week #2 Despicable Me
Week #3 Karate Kid
Week #4 Toy Story3

Church Wide Baptism Coming up!

If your middle schooler is interested in getting baptized, there will be a brief baptism orientation in the Middle School room this Sunday, June 5th, at 10:30am.

We will be going over the Middle School Baptism Booklet that can be found here. Feel free to download it and go over with your middle schooler.

If you do not have anyone in your family that is getting baptized, this is still a great opportunity to come hang out while supporting those who are taking this exciting step in their Christian walk. There will be hamburgers, hotdogs, and drinks. All you have to do is come and bring a side dish or dessert to share.

This is definitely a day your family will not want to miss!
