The time has come again for High School students to check out BBC for a weekend. It’s always a great rally with amazing music, speakers, and surprises! AJ Thomas is speaking this year, so the teens and leaders are in for an awesome weekend! Check the Encounter schedule here. We’re staying in Sussex at the Fairway Inn. Meals are provided for breakfast, lunch, and supper on Saturday. Teens should be prepared to purchase their own supper on Friday.

$60 is due before we leave on Friday, November 6 at 4pm. We will return to Crosspoint by 10pm Saturday, November 7.

We’ve been having a great time this fall at the Shakedown each Thursday! There has been a lot of variety and we’ve had several awesome guests for music and speaking. Our aim is to run the youth night from 6:30pm to 8:30pm, with only a rare exception to run over. With the colder weather students may arrive at 6pm, but please make sure your students have a ride home by 8:45pm. Thanks!

This fall is going to rock at Crosspoint and we’re about to get things started with two awesome nights!
