That’s a lot of acronyms… I know.
FCA = Fellowship of Christian Athletes
H.O.P.E. = Helping Others Pursue Excellence
FCA H.O.P.E. = a weekly gathering of students from all backgrounds, schools, and color that gets together each Tuesday morning at the Central High School’s theater to worship God and pray for our generation.
“When?” 6:50 AM in the morning. “That’s early!” I know. “Why?” Because it’s powerful when God’s people gather together for one cause… to worship and pray, right on campus grounds.
“Anyone can come?” Yes. Any high school student. Regardless if your from Stevens High School, Central, or home schooled. It doesn’t matter. All are encouraged to attend.
If you haven’t made it yet you’re missing out! The first and third Tuesday of every month have a “service format” (with worship and a message) while the second and fourth Tuesdays have a focus on intercession and prayer.
So… one more time. Tuesdays @ the Central High School Theater from 6:50 AM to 7:20 AM. See you there!
Bethel Assembly of God and several other area churches are partnering together to host this community-wide, student, evangelistic event which will feature live music with hip hop artist, Michael Fugitt and more, several inflatables, food, and special guest, Mark Entzminger — all for FREE to students of our community/region.
Where: Bethel Assembly of God, 1202 N. Maple Ave
When: Gates open at 5:30 pm; event starts at 5:45 pm; event is over at 8:15 pm
Cost: Free (including hot dogs and inflatables)
For more information, contact Pastor Gerad at gerad@northpointsm.com or at the Bethel Offices: (605) 342-5415.
All student pastors in the area are encouraged to challenge students to be a part of the national See You @ the Pole event on Wednesday, September 23rd.

Also, plan on bringing three-to-four student leaders with you to a Tuesday night, September 22nd, one-hour gathering at Destiny Foursquare Church, 927 E. Philadelphia Street, @ 7:00 pm. Our rally speaker, Mark Entzminger, will be challenging and equipping students to help them better prepare for the following day.
Here’s local footage from students participating in the 2007 See You at the Pole event…
I just received word from a friend that another Rapid City student — this one in the 9th grade academy — took their own life. Another friend, upon hearing the news, commented, “there’s still much to be done in Rapid City…” It made me think of this song by Bluetree…
Please pray.

I decided that it was time for a change… a welcome change I hope. Changing the rapidcityyouth.com web site to blog format should encourage and welcome community in the form of comments and web 2.0 love. Feel free to forward the link to all and let them know that this is the place for youth workers in the Black Hills area to connect.
To make the first post more interesting, here’s the community-wide See You @ the Pole video from last year’s event…
