Kim has invited senior high ladies over to the Sublett house this Friday night (Jan 23) at 7 pm for a movie/fun/girls' night. Please send her an email if you'd like to come! She's pretty excited, don't you know.

Have I told you how excited I am to be a youth pastor lately? :)

Wing Night Outreach

The first annual Wing Fest will be held at the AOG church on January
14th - 7pm. We'll have Big Wednesday at Calvary first and then head to
AOG - or you can meet us there at 7pm. Every person in attendance will
receive 1 lb of free wings (to eat or wear??). PLEASE NOTE THE GOAL!!!
This is a night to be intentional about inviting your non-churched
friends - it will be a blast and they will also have the opportunity to
hear a gospel presentation! Don't waste a perfect opportunity to help
your friends meet Jesus! Let's have Wing Night make an eternal
difference in the lives of as many Centre County students as we
possibly can!!! The plan is to prepare 5000 wings - let's not keep them to
ourselves!

You'll need to fill out this permission form and bring it with you on Wednesday.

Online Etch-A-Sketch
This is great! You've got to try it.

No XStream this week
With Leadership Advance taking place this week, we are out of a place to meet. But there are some MAJOR EVENTS coming our way...

Next Week (Jan 14) is a huge outreach at the AOG. Every student will get a pound of wings (you can't go wrong with chicken!), plus the opportunity to hear the gospel. I know, you're thinking, "I already know the gospel." That's right, you do. But do your friends? How about that friend you've wanted to invite to church, but it's never happened? This is a great opportunity. We are planning this so that you will have a vehicle for sharing your faith with your friends. Please be praying, and invite your friends to come share some wings...Tommy likee wingies...WING NIGHT, BABY!

Senior High House Party
Here's a change from what you may have read in the latest Pulse: There is a Super Bowl Party for the whole church, February 1. We were planning on launching our senior high ministry (which we're calling House Party) that night. We don't want to compete with the church's superbowl party, so we're moving the start date to February 8th. Goofy me, I thought the Stooper Bowl was in January. Isn't it supposed to be in January? Anyway, House Party begins February 8th, at Harvest Fields.

Thanks for being flexible!

Pirates of the Caribbean, Apple Juice, and a Dream
Check out this new band...you might see a familiar face or two! Wahoo!

Cool...I just saw Adam Sandler on The Cosby Show. Good show, them Cosby kids...

Happy New Year XStreamers!
We started the year off right, with friends hanging at the house. How was your New Year's Eve? Did you count it down with Dick Clark? I got smooches from all my girls (and Levi!)--how about you?

We are praying for God's blessing in your lives this year. We believe that God is on the move, and that he wants you to join him where he is at work around you. More than ever, we want to see a great year of KNOWing (developing deep relationships with God and other students), GROWing (going deeper in your faith), FLOWing (investing your life to bless and serve others), and GOing (sharing the love of Jesus with your friends.

We are excited about the possibilities of a new year. We think that this is YOUR year.
