Summer Tuesday Nights
This summer at Compass College Ministry we are taking a break from studying the Book of John. Instead we will be talking about different issues and topics that we all face and have questions about. Most importantly, we will turn to the Scripture to explore what God has to say about these things.
Last week, we talked about The Gospel, rehearsing it's truth and reminding ourselves of our need to continually focus on The Gospel. The Gospel is not only for our salvation, but also our sanctification.
Tonight, we will be talking about Heaven. Where, and when, is it? Who, and what, will be there? What is so important about Resurrection? These things are important to understand, as it gives us hope for our future and a glimpse of God's eternal plan.
Feel free to come, bringing questions! And if you have a topic that you would like discussed this summer, let me or Scott know!

Annual College Road Trip!!!
Well the road trip is upon us, so I guess it's time we planned something!
This year, we have decided to visit Washington DC and New York City! Here's all, or at least some, of the info:
When: May 25-31
Where: Washington DC and New York City
How: We will take the church van(s). We will stay at least 2 nights while in DC with Herb and Marilyn Owen (Jonathan's parents) and at least 1 night in NYC in a TBD hotel or apartment.
How Much: $200 will get your transportation and lodging, possibly less. You'll need to pay for meals, any recreation, and shopping. Keep in mind that just about anything you'll want to do in DC is FREE! Plan a little money to pay for subways in both cities. And, as always, if your cash-strapped, you can make payments through the summer to pay us back for the trip.
What: RSVP to the Facebook Event soon to reserve your spot!
College Ministry Summer Missions 2009
Here's some info on the first-ever college ministry summer missions trip!
Camp Monty in Montenegro
Where?· Montenegro lies across the Adriatic Sea east of Italy
· Part of the former Yugoslavia Republic
· Croatia and Bosnia are the closest neighbors
· Niksic is the city that Camp Monty is held in, located in a mountainous region of the country
When?
· Camp Monty runs July 27-31
· Depart Birmingham July 23, return August 3
· The weekend before camp starts will be spent recruiting kids for camp and making contact with the local church
· The weekend after camp will be spent sightseeing around the region and/or in Dubrovnik, Croatia, a popular resort town on the Adriatic Sea
How?
· We are asking everyone to raise $2,000 for airfare, lodging, meals and ground transportation
· This also includes money for supplies we will need to take with us
· Bring extra money for shopping, extra snacks/meals, etc. Bring this in US Dollars or a Visa card. We can exchange for Euros when we arrive in Montenegro.
· We will fly into Dublin, Ireland, and then fly Air Lingus to Dubrovnik, Croatia. We will then rent buses/vans to drive into Niksic, Montenegro.
· We will be planning fundraisers this spring to help get you started, but get working on your support letters as soon as possible. We can help you put together a packet too.
· We will stay in a hotel in Niksic called Hotel Onogost for the duration of the trip, except for time in Dubrovnik. Accommodations in Dubrovnik are TBD.
Why?· To reach the children and teens of Montenegro for Christ
· Day Camp using basketball and soccer, English classes, art classes and evening rallies
· There are only 3 evangelical churches in the entire country, with approximately 125 believers
· This small country is the newest country in the world, having gained independence in 2006, but it is one of the most un-reached in Eastern Europe
· Eric and Lynn Murphy are the local missionaries that we will be assisting. Eric has done camp in Montenegro for the last 2 years and greatly needs the assistance of short-term teams. Eric was just at SMIC in February for our Missions Conference and that is how we learned of this need. The Murphy's have been long-time friends of Scott and his family! Eric and Lynn live in Hungary, but minister all over Eastern Europe. Check out his website at http://www.lifeimpactforeternity.org/
What?
· Basketball and soccer clinics in the mornings of each day of camp
· English "classes"/conversational instruction after lunch 2-4 PM
· Art/craft classes are around 4:15 PM
· Dinner at 6 PM with optional evening rally following
· All meals will be at the hotel, prices included in your trip fee
· We possibly will be participating in the evening rallies with music, but that also is TBD
NOW What?
· Pray about going and talk it over with parents/mentors
· Fill out Missions Application. You can pick that up from Rachel in Scott's office or have her email it to you
· Talk to Scott and/or Ann Marie if you want more details on the trip. We are so excited for this opportunity and to lead our first college ministry missions trip. We want everyone to consider coming!
