The lipThe lipThe lipThe lip FFFF 10.1010.1010.1010.10 We are in an incredible season of ministry at SWITCH! God’s hand appears to be over our ministry as

we are seeing more new faces each week and having more students develop a desire to go deeper in

their relationship with Christ. We’ve had great success with events like Mud Bowl and Blow It Up, the

launch of our mid-week SWITCH Service, the launch of our redesigned 10:30 AM Service, and the move

to go to one Connect Group hour for students. We have experienced quite a bit of change and have

seen God’s guidance every step of the way. It is such an honor to be part of God’s movement within

our ministry!

We are quickly approaching our main event for the fall: DNOW 2010, November 5-7, with speaker Ed

Newton and worship leader Jeff Maxwell. The theme for this year’s DNOW is INCARNATE. The defini-

tion of incarnate is “to embody in flesh; invest with a bodily, esp. a human, form.” Jesus was God in-

carnate and He lived in a way that mirrored His Father’s will and character. We want our students to

consider how they are to relate to others as Jesus incarnate.

As you know, relationships are absolutely vital in the life of any teenager. However, in a Facebook

world, students are often connected to a great deal of information but disconnected relationally. Stu-

dents struggle relationally because they don’t know how to do relationships away from a text message

or computer screen. We want our students to form community and accountability that has more

depth and meaning than just clicking a button and posting an update online. Incarnate is designed is

to help our students connect with God Incarnate and mirror Him in their relationships in an organic,

life on life, face to face, and Biblical way. Students will walk away with a greater understanding of how

God relates to them and how they are to relate to their friends, dates, and even you (their parents).

WE NEED YOUR HELP!

Pulling off a DNOW requires a great deal of volunteers of caring adults and parents. We need host

homes, drivers, and food preparers for this weekend. If you would be willing to host a group of 5-8

students, transport students to and from the church, or make some lunches, we need you! We’ll be

recruiting over the next few weeks, but it’s so helpful for our ministry if you don’t wait for our call and

just sign up! Seriously, if you would like to serve our ministry in this capacity, please call Tracey in the

student ministry office at 901.333.3368.

REGISTER YOUR STUDENT!

The deadline to register is October 31st

and the cost is $50 (includes program, meals, and a hoodie.)

You can register through our website at www.switchmemphis.com/#/events. If you have any ques-

tions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Honored to Serve,

Jason

Switch Serve

The fall is a great time for our students to be involved in

missions and service projects. We are inviting our

students to join us for Trick or Treat So Others Can Eat

on Wed. October 6th from 6PM-7:30PM. Students will

divide up, travel to neighborhoods, and ask for canned

goods and non-perishable food items to help stock the

pantry at the TN Baptist Children’s Home and Boys

Ranch. Students are also encouraged to serve at our

annual Fall Festival on Sunday October 24th!

TRENDING TOPICS

Life Book Saturation Week: October 11-15

We are partnering with several local churches in the Life

Book Project. This is a 5 day event where our high school

students hand out God’s Word on the campuses of

Bartlett, Bolton, and Arlington High Schools. We are

challenging every high school student that attends a

Bartlett-area school to hand out 25 copies of the Life

Book to friends that may not know Christ or be

connected to a church. The Life Books are designed for

teenagers and can be used as a conversation piece in

sharing how to have a personal relationship with Christ.

Be in prayer for our high school students as they begin

to pray and pass out the message of God’s Word to a

hurting generation. We will join in a community launch

event at Faith Baptist on Sun. night October 10 at 6pm.
