Secondly, this week at Refuge we continue our student focused version of Life of a Jesus Follower! The things that our church is teaching is life changing, freeing, and applicable for every student! I encourage to be sure that you or your student is a part of this series. Refuge starts at 6pm on Sunday. Don’t miss it!

Have a great day! If you have any questions, please email Scott

This week at Refuge, we continue our series “FOLLOWER”! We will be talking about what it means for students to abide in Christ. Super solid stuff! Make sure you don’t miss it!

Because of Mother’s Day, there is no refuge this week. We want to give our students the opportunity to spend time with their moms and families on Sunday so, every year, we take the night off!

Happy Mother’s Day Moms!

At Hope, we are in the middle of what is probably the most significant teaching series we do. “Life of a Jesus Follower” has been, for many, unbelievably freeing and revolutionary in their relationship with Jesus. We absolutely believe the same can and will be true for our students!

This is why starting this week at Refuge, we will diving into a student focused study of the life of a Jesus follower in a series we’re simply calling:FOLLOWER.

I am so excited to see how God uses this series in the life of our student ministry as well as in individual students’ hearts. As the apostle Paul wrote in 2 Corinthians 11:3, “…I am afraid that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds will be led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ.” Even as teenagers, the life of a Christ follower has been added to and distorted to something it was never meant to be.

Over the next 4 weeks, we will encourage, challenge, and point students to the goal: A relationship with Jesus! Make sure your student doesn’t miss this series!

THIS SUNDAY IS 5TH SUNDAY AT HOPE!I’m so excited for our students to join together with their church and have a night of worship and the Lord’s supper. Here’s how it will work:

Refuge will begin at 6pm (as usual) in the Refuge room.After some announcements and the usual pre-service awesomeness, we will all walk over to the worship center together and join our church. The students will have VIP seating in the front few rows! I’m so excited for our church to see our student ministry engage in worship alongside them so make sure you DON’T MISS IT!!!

Share this on your FB wall, tweet it, do whatever you got to do to make sure your friends are here on Sunday at 6pm.

This week at Refuge, TAKE THE LAND WEEK 4!

For the last 3 weeks at Refuge, we’ve looked at the life of Joshua and the BIG promises that God gave him and the children of Israel as they journeyed to take the land that God had promised them. This week week we continue to see how those promises are still true for us today! Don’t miss the final week of TAKE THE LAND!

This week at Refuge, we’re talking about VIOLENCE! We believe from the Bible that in order to take all the land that God has given us in our lives, it takes a violent attack on the sin in our lives.

When Joshua was called to lead God’s people, he had to be violent in killing the kings that stood in his way. In our lives, taking the land requires the same from us, only the obstacle in our path is the sin in our lives. We’re called to be violent in killing our sin and killing our flesh.

Make sure you (if you’re student) or your student (if you’re a parent) doesn’t miss this week’s Refuge!

HERE’S THE WHAT TO BRING LIST FOR EXPOSURE!

EXPOSURE IS JUST 13 DAYS AWAY! Here’s the info you and your parents need to know!

- For the night of April 2, students will be staying in approved host homes with their small groups! On Tuesday April 3, all students and leaders will be staying the night at Hope’s Boulder City campus! There the students will have separate sleeping places and showers available! There will be AT LEAST 10-15 adults supervising at all times!

-The service activities include serving the homeless in various ways in downtown Las Vegas (Apr. 18) and meeting many needs of the community of Boulder City (Apr. 19).

- All driving will be done by Refuge leaders who are at least 18 and have been background checked!

- Breakfast will be served all three mornings and lunch and dinner will be provided on April 2-3.

- DRESS CODE: Because of our interaction with the homeless community of Vegas, students need to adhere to CCSD dress code for Exposure. For safety and comfort, flip-flops are not a good idea (we will be walking quite a bit).

- Since this is an overnight experience, students should all bring sleeping bags, pillows, and personal hygiene items!

**This is the 5th year of Exposure and over the past 4 years, God’s done INCREDIBLE things! This is a safe, exciting, world-rocking, amazing event that you DO NOT want to miss!

Seriously. If you live in LasVegas & you’re not at 850 Cactus Ave. tonight, you’re CRAZY! (Taken with Instagram at Hope Church - South Valley Campus)

THIS SATURDAY, REFUGE IS ABOUT TO FLOOD THE NEIGHBORHOOD!

As we begin the move into our new neighborhood on Cactus Ave, we want our students to be involved in intentionally wrapping their arms around the surrounding community. So this Saturday February 25, from 9am-12pm, we will be prayer walking, handing out invite cards, having conversations, and asking God to greatly use our new campus as a place of life change!

We will meet in the parking lot of the campus (850 Cactus Ave.) and students will be picked up from CiCi’s Pizza (about 1 mile down the road).

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to call your student’s small group leader or Pastor Scott at the church, (702) 896-5924.

This week, we will not be having Refuge due to our church’s Shepherd’s Rally!

Next week, we will post the Refuge plan for the new campus!

One Life

Tonight at Refuge, students picked their “one life”. Someone they live life w/ who doesn’t know Jesus who they will pray for & pour their life into. I’m so excited to see what God does in and through our students!
