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. For Rapid City area schools, we are promoting a 7:30 AM “meet-at-the-pole” time for students (all schools). Visit the official site here for resources and more information: syatp.com.
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…
Looking for a student event that’s about more than flash and hype? I’m excited to introduce you to the EXIST, a different kind of event hosted in Denver, CO, this winter season. As described on the web site…
For some it will be a time of learning how to press in and hear God through and in worship, through the Word, and with each other. For others it may be a venue for expressions of love to or from God through song, the gift of poetry, art or… Exist is about you sharing God with others.
The three things we want you to take home from Exist: learn how to enter His presence, practice being in His presence and teach others what you have learned.

Big props to Clay for hosting a fabulous and successful New Year’s Eve event! From what I understand, the numbers had tripled from last year. That’s so good to hear as we all love Clay and his passion for Jesus and reaching out to students. Here’s some highlights that our group brought back from the evening (although we didn’t catch much footage of Remedy Drive)…
Ever been to Youth Specialties’ One Day events? They have locations all over the nation. Anyone up for a road trip to the Saturday, April 4th event in Sioux Falls?
Download the PDF flyer by clicking the graphic above or visit the event web site here. Here’s some great videos YS put together promoting the event (good for a few laughs):
I don’t generally do personal posts on the Network site, but I just got back from what I feel is the cream-of-the-crop of youth worker training options, the National Youth Workers Convention in Nashville. Deanna and I had such an amazing time! If you are interested, head over to our student ministry blog at elevatingageneration.org and check out my thoughts, pics, and — eventually — video from the weekend. I was priveledged to be a live-blogger at this year’s event, so my thoughts and real-time updates were also posted the whole weekend over at the live-blog, wich is still archived here.
Seriously, if you have never gone, you need to set these dates aside for next year and start planning to attend at one of these following locations now:
Los Angeles – September 24 – 28
Cincinnati – October 29 – November 2
Atlanta – November 19 -23
“Seriously Ridiculous” was the theme this year and this post over at Youth Specialtie’s blog kind of captures the idea behind the weekend; so good: check it out!
Join us @ 11:30 am on every first Thursday of the month at the Alternative Fuel Coffee House on 620 Main Street in Rapid City. Come early and grab your meal; we’d love to meet you there!
The first half hour of our gatherings are focused on youth worker fellowship and prayer and, starting at around 12-noon, we shift to a training / discussion time. All are welcome.
