Turn OFF the TV Book Studies

Oasis: Lake Orion Summer 2010

Ok, let’s be honest. Middle school students don’t usually have full time summer jobs. Middle school students also don’t usually have a sport or something else that takes up every afternoon of their summer. Middle school students DO usually get BORED in the summer. How about taking a month and turning off the tv so that you can grow in your relationship with Christ, grow in relationships and do something absolutely crazy… read a book! Come join our little rebellion against watching tv all the time and get inspired to live differently… to for for the Savior instead of the self! Hope to see you there!

When: Wednesday Nights, July 21st through August 25th

What: A summer book study for guys & girls. The girls will be going through the book A Young Lady in Waiting by Jackie Kendall. The boys will be going through Alex and Brett Harris’s book Do Hard Things.

How Much: $15 (per study, book included).

6th Grade Families Mini-Conference

Starting something new is exciting and scary all at the same time. And starting middle school is a major milestone in life as you move from being treated like a child to being treated more and more like an adult. More freedoms, physical changes, demands and responsibilities. Oasis wants to help both parents and students get ready for this exciting stage of life. That’s what this multi-site conference is all about!

When: August 20^th from 7-10pm and August 21^st from 8a-12:30p

What: This is an all new family mini-conference for new 6^th grade students and their parents. Entering middle school is a major life milestone and we want to make sure that our families are as prepared as possible. This mini-conference will include (1) relational building activities, (2) separate breakouts for parents and students both to learn and discuss the challenges and opportunities that come with this unique age group and (3) a campus-specific overview of the middle school ministry of Woodside so your family can take full advantage of partnering with our church to inspire the next generation to live for Jesus Christ. Give us a call, send us a message or pick up a Jump Start postcard at the Oasis information table if you have any questions.
