Family Beach Day Saturday
We invite all of our families and youth to join us for a day at the beach this Saturday. We will head over to St. Pete Beach for the day to enjoy some fun in the sun. We will meet at the Magnolia Building at 10 a.m. to ride over in the buses and will be returning at 3 p.m. Please bring a sack lunch, towels, sunscreen, beach chairs, etc. with you. If youth are coming without a parent, they need to make sure they have a medical form on file with us.

News + Events
High School Bible Study
Join us Tuesday Nights from 6-8 p.m. for our summer Bible Study in Curtis Hixon Park (near the river close to the Children's Museum.) Haley Hansen, a high school senior, is our leader and our topic is "Worship." Students need to bring their Bible, a sack dinner, a blanket and friends. We hope to see you next Tuesday!
Sundays
Sunday Morning
We believe the best way to create "sticky faith" is by having youth involved in congregational worship and serving in church. We encourage our students to attend worship or serve in various ways during the hour they are on campus. If you would like to get your student plugged into serving around campus with Children's Ministries, Open Arms, the Tech Team, ushering or greeting, please contact Emily.
Merge, 6-8 p.m. 
This Sunday we begin our Summer Series on Bridges. We will discuss how our choices affect and help us maintain our relationship with God. Come for dinner at 5:30 p.m. in the Harnish Activities Center (Cost $5).
Wednesdays
Middle School Bible Study, 6:30 p.m.
Come learn the whole truth through the comparison of some common Christian sayings with the wisdom of Scripture. Tonight we will be discussing the phrase 'God Won't Give You More Than You Can Handle' on the 2nd floor of the Magnolia Building. We all use these phrases. They sound Christian like they're from the Bible,but while they tell some element of the truth, are they really capturing the important points?

For those who are unable to be physically present, you can try out our new Skype. Just get Skype on your phone or computer, send us a request at Hyde Park Merge, and then Skype in at 6:30 p.m. tonight.
