Impact
Held every January, Impact is a conference for hundreds of students and leaders in Iowa as a mid-year spiritual boost. This year we will be in Coralville, IA with Christopher Hilken (from Challenge 2018) as the speaker and Andy Johnson (our very own!) as the worship leader. This year’s theme is Upside Down about how following Jesus is often upside down to our natural instincts.
Early bird registration November 20-December 4: $180
Full price registration December 5-15: $210
One Night
This is a great time for your student to invite their OneLife or non-Christian friends as the night is geared towards teens who don’t regularly attend church. Please encourage your teen to invite their friends!
Parent Connect
This is a special program to provide a shared experience for 6th-12th grade students and their parents. The morning is specifically designed knowing that students will be in attendance with their parents. This is NOT a parent meeting. It is a time to grow closer as a family and learn how to follow Jesus in your home every day.
Night To Shine
Night to Shine is an unforgettable prom night experience, centered on God’s love, for guests who have special needs or disabilities. This is a great opportunity to show God’s love through service! Time and location will vary depending on service role.
Senior Getaway
Dan and Mackenzie are taking the class of 2020 to Hidden Acres with their Student Life Group leaders to talk about the transition from high school to their next stage of life. It’s going to be a time of celebration and reflection! We will eat dinner together Friday night so no need to have your teen eat before they come.
Squad Night
We will not meet at church on March 8-instead, we’ll be in various homes with our SLGs! Locations coming soon.
Film Festival
Dress in your red carpet attire! This is a night to watch the films every SLG has worked on creating and hand out awards.
Graduation Sunday
HSM has designed a special service to celebrate our high school graduates. This service will be held Sunday morning, May 17th from 9:30-10:45 a.m. in the Student Ministries Room. All graduates, along with their parents and families, are welcome. If you have a graduating senior, please submit the following four photos no later than April 29th:
Please scan and e-mail high resolution, quality photos to pamr@valley.church.
Challenge
Challenge is the Evangelical Free Church of America’s national gathering for 6,000 teenagers to gather together every other summer. It’s more than a conference: it has proven to be a catalytic environment challenging students to live on mission with Jesus every day, everywhere and with everyone. This is going to be an amazing week you won’t want to miss!
