Even after the new ones were posted, I think that this one is definitely still one of my favorites:

Just wanted to remind you all that this Tuesday (Feb. 26th) we won’t be meeting as a big group.

Your small group leaders have something special planned for your groups that they’ve talked with you about.

If you don’t remember where your group’s meeting, or have questions about your group, email Scott.

Breakaway – Feb. 19th

Hey everybody!

Just wanted to take a minute to welcome you all to the MSM site.

We’ll be making a lot of updates and adding new stuff all the time, so be sure to check back often and stay updated on what’s going on! Also, I’d love to see a bunch of you leaving comments on the different posts and letting us know what you think about everything.

Hey Parents!

Are you interested in volunteering in the Middle School Ministry of Pacific Coast Church? If you’d like to serve in any sort of capacity (small group leader, driver for events, open your house for pool party, work in our Breakaway Snack Bar, and more), please send me an e-mail or give me a call at 940-2600.  I’d love to hear from you so we can talk and see what area might be the best fit for you to serve in.

Our ministry to students is extremely relational, and relies on high quality adult leaders who are willing and ready to be used by God in a number of ways.

Sometimes I wake up in the morning with a sore throat, not enough sleep from the night before, and a brand new zit on the middle of my face.

I get to work late, have way too much on my to-do list, and have hardly enough time to even begin to think about doing the first item on the list.

My day can continue to get worse and worse, but all it takes for that terrible day to turn around is a simple view of this picture:

Awesomeness…

About once every six weeks we try to put on some type of event outside of church. Our goal for these events is that they would be times when you’d have a lot of fun and would want to bring a few friends with.

Some of the stuff we’ve done: bonfires, bowling night, ice skating, Christmas/Costume parties, air soft, dodgeball, and many more.

What are some events that you would be stoked about coming to and bringing some friends with? Maybe it’s stuff we’ve already done, maybe it’s something brand new.  What would you be excited to come to? Leave some comments, or email Scott with your responses.

HEY!!! Do you guys have any pictures from MSM events that you want to see on this website? What about music…what do you want to hear on here?

Go to our flickr site to see all of the pictures we’ve uploaded.

We really want to make this page as awesome as it can be, so if there’s anything you have that you want us to put up here, e-mail it to Scott.

Also, be sure to leave comments and feedback you have on this site (click on an entry and go to the section that says “Leave a Reply”.

Here are some of my favorite pictures:

Do polar bears have snowball fights?

I sure hope so…

This next Monday (Feb. 18th) we’re going to the Ice Palace in Aliso Viejo. We’ll do some ice skating and hang out for a couple hours.

All of our local schools have the day off, so we’re looking forward to hanging out with you and spending the holiday together.

Get dropped off at the Ice Palace @ 2 and picked up by 4:30. It’s only $10 for admission and skate rentals.

See you there!!!
