NO CROSSFIRE THIS FRIDAY NIGHT

Thu, 23 Feb 2012 00:21:00 -0500

Unfortunately there is no Crossfire this Friday night (sigh). Our young adults are going away on The Big Weekend and the majority of the Crossfire leadership team will be away on that weekend sitting under the teaching of Shane Dirks, the new Young Adults Pastor.

While we’re really sad that there’s no Crossfire this week, this is an awesome opportunity for you guys to do some of your own ministry with your friends. So if you have a house, you can have Crossfire. Invite your friends who don’t come to church, buy some snacks, rent a movie, go wander around the street, have a massive dance party. If you’re really keen and you have the space, play King Caractacus. Then you can let your neighbours know who really stole his thinking hat

Also Here are some important dates that you need to put into your diary/iPhone/Macbook/Android/calender

24th February- NO CROSSFIRE AT CHURCH, but that shouldn’t stop you from having Crossfire at your house/your friends house/ the park. Get creative!

2nd March - Crossfire is BACK at church!!

9th March- DOUBLE UP NIGHT. Everyone needs to bring a friend to Crossfire AND you need to dress the same as them!! Like twins! Why twins dress the same is anyone’s guess. It’s hard enough as it is.

16th March- CROSSFIRE CARNIVAL!! The Circus will be in town at Crossfire Youth!! Prepare yourself for games, prizes, acrobatics, fire breathing and maybe a human cannonball. It’s a carnival, who knows what will happen..

Schools out, summer has started (sort of) and what better way to celebrate all this awesomeness than by coming to the last night of Crossfire for the year! We wanna see you guys dressed up in your best Christmas outfits with lots of green, red and white to celebrate the coming Christmas season. We’ve got some awesome stuff planned for the final Crossfire of 2011 and you definitely don’t want to miss out.

Don’t forget there’s the St Pauls Castle Hill Christmas Eve Services at 5pm, 9pm and 11pm, as well as the Christmas Day Services at 7:30am and 9:30am. For more information head to the church website. Bring yo friends! Bring yo family! And come celebrate the birth of our Saviour, Jesus Christ!

See you tomorrow night. // Crossfire.

Isaiah 39 Day Challenge

Sun, 04 Dec 2011 23:39:00 -0500

Hey guys,

So if you’re still keen to start reading Isaiah before ImpaKCt but didn’t start the 66 day challenge soon enough, don’t fret! We’ve got a special catch up plan for you. You can START TODAY by reading Chapters 1 to 12, then jump ahead to Chapter 40 and keep going all the way up to Chapter 66. By reading 39 Chapters in 39 days you’ll still get to read all the highlights of Isaiah and be done just in time for ImpaCKt 2012! How awesome is that?

Remember, this camp is all about growing closer to God and reading Isaiah is a perfect way to start getting ready for what will be an amazing week learning about our awesome God. Stay tuned for more ImpaKCt goodness!

Wed, 30 Nov 2011 23:20:00 -0500

Happy December Everyone!

We’ve been busy planning some awesome stuff for you guys on camp next year, and let’s just say…IT’S GONNA BE DA BEST WEEK EVA! We’ve had so many registrations come in already, and are so excited by the number of you who are keen to come on camp to soak up some sun, dance like crazy and learn about our awesome God. Remember if you haven’t registered yet, you now only have one month left to do so! Registrations will close on the 31st December, so make sure you don’t miss out. If you’re still not convinced, check out the video below:

It’s also been super encouraging to see the number of you who have taken up the 66 days of Isaiah challenge and to hear what you’ve been learning. If you feel like you didn’t start soon enough though and can’t catch up now, stayed tuned for another way for you to read through Isaiah and prepare your heart for what Tim will be teaching us on camp.

And lastly, if you’re interested in being a part of the ImpaKCt 2012 Prayer Team click here! So keep reading! Keep inviting your friends! And get ready…

ImpaKCt 2012 Update.

Mon, 07 Nov 2011 23:19:00 -0500

Hello out there. This is Crossfire bringing you an ImpaKCt 2012 update. We have had a HUGE amount of registrations already, but we want more! If you haven’t registered yet, do it. If you have, invite your friends. Remember, registrations close on the 31st of December this year. If you get to 2012 and think to yourself, “I’d really like to come on ImpaKCt”…IT’LL BE TOO LATE! So register now by clicking HERE. It’s seriously gonna be the best week ever.

Now today is important, because it’s officially 66 days until ImpaKCt! You might be wondering why we’re excited that it’s 66 days away. Well on ImpaKCt next year, Tim Hawkins will be taking us through the book of Isaiah and we want to set you a challenge. The book of Isaiah has 66 chapters, and we want to challenge our ministry to read one chapter a day to prepare our hearts and minds for what God is going to teach us on camp. This will be a great way for us to grow as a community and be sharing together all the way up to camp.

We’re super excited about what’s in store for Crossfire over these next couple of months and hope you are too! Keep checking back here for more updates.

66 days // Crossfire.

Monthly Youth & Mission Prayer Sesh.

Wed, 02 Nov 2011 23:30:00 -0400

Welcome to November!

This Sunday is the first of the month, meaning we’ll be gathering as a Crossfire community to come before God and pray. This is a time for us to bring our entire youth ministry and global missions before God, and to remember that this ministry is not about us - it is about HIM - and without Him, we can do nothing! We will be meeting in the CEC from 6:30pm-8pm after church this Sunday. We want a ministry centered around God and would love to see you all there. Get ready to pray, pray, PRAY!

See you this Sunday // Crossfire.

SERVANT SQUAD

Fri, 14 Oct 2011 19:58:00 -0400

Hey Year 12!

You guys get to experience a different kind of ImpaKCt next year. With Servant Squad you guys get to work hard for a week helping out the Port Hacking staff team with various projects, as well as serving the rest of the camp community

Now why would you bother paying money to go away on camp and work for a week??

Well, the point of Servant Squad is to train and equip you guys for leadership post-school, as you’re the next generation of leaders coming through. It’s a hard and demanding week, but it shapes and builds your leadership character and refines the skills you already have so that you’re ready to lead in ministry at St Paul’s Castle Hill.

So, if you’re considering moving into youth/kids ministry, Servant Squad is an invaluable week of learning and of character building that will greatly assist in your future as leaders in this church and abroad.

So if you want to register CLICK HERE

TAKE NOTE: SERVANT SQUAD IS ONLY OPEN FOR STUDENTS IN YEAR 12 THIS YEAR. OTHER STUDENTS, ONLINE REGISTRATIONS OPEN ON THE 21ST OF OCTOBER. KEEP WATCHING THIS SPACE FOR MORE DETAILS
