ACTS: What Does It Mean ?

In the future, you will be hearing about ACTS. We are not trying to be "sacrilegious" but we will be using it (ACTS) as an acronym to describe a philosophy of ministry. We recognize that each student is at a different spot in their Christian walk and we want to gear ministry to each one of them. Here is a brief summary:

Attract

We want to attract students to Christ and to the ministry of Christ The Savior.

Connect

We want to connect students to God to to fellow students already connected to Christ The Savior.

Transform

We want students lives to transform into the likeness of Jesus Christ our Savior.

Send

We want to send students out to be the hands and feet of Christ so we can influence our community and impact our world.

Hay Ride and Cornmaze

Roots Annual Bon Fire, Hayride and Corn Maze!

Just a reminder that we will have our annual Roots Bon Fire, Hayride and Corn Maze THIS Friday, October 8th at Russell Farms in Noblesville.

Check-in will begin at 6:45pm in the parking lot at Russell Farms. Cost is $7 plus an empty shoebox to be used for Operation Christmas Child. Friends are welcome!

EVERYONE must have a current CTS Medical Consent form on file in order to participate. We don’t have very many on file yet this year. If you aren’t sure if you have completed one for your student this year, please complete the attached form and bring it with you Friday. Friends must also complete the Medical Consent form. Students will need to be picked up at 9:00pm.

As it stands today, we will most likely not be able to have a bon fire due to the Hamilton County fire ban. We will still be able take our hayride and enjoy the corn maze. Students should bring a flashlight with them for the maze.

Parent chaperons are still needed, so if you are free for the evening and would like to join us, please let me know.

Roots WILL meet Thursday October 7th.

And a final reminder that we will be collecting donation items for Operation Christmas Child beginning this Thursday and will be assembling boxes on Thursday October 28th. Parent volunteers are needed to assist on the 28th. Suggested donation items are…school supplies, small toys, hygiene items, hard candy and lollipops (please double bag all candy), mints, gum, t-shirts, socks, ball caps, sunglasses, hair clips, toy jewelry, watches, flashlights.
