Ignite Large Groups Move to Sundays

Ignite Student Ministries' large group gatherings for students will be held on Sunday nights this school year. X-Factor for junior high will meet from 6:15 - 7:45 p.m. and 7 for senior high will meet from 7 - 8:30 p.m. Both groups will be held in the multipurpose room/gym at Pine City Elementary School. Our first meeting for the school year will be Sunday, September 14.

One of the challenges of not having our own building is working around the schedules of the facilities you are using. We were not able to secure the use of the school consistently on Wednesday nights, nor were we able to resolve the scheduling challenges of having only one room to use.
This requires us to move our large groups to Sunday nights - which may work out for the best in the long run. It has opened up Wednesday nights for special events (like Fall Kick-Off, on September 17) as well as our CONNECT small group ministry. We'll also have additional time to set up for youth groups which we would not have on Wednesdays.

We will be doing some tweaking of our schedule for our groups, experimenting with a new format. Junior high X-Factor will begin at 6:15 with game time until 6:45. At 6:45 the senior high students will begin arriving for 7 with our worship and challenge time beginning at 7 p.m. for both groups. Junior high will be dismissed at 7:45 and senior high will enjoy their game time until 8:30. The benefit of this format is that we will be able to have both junior and senior high together for worship, with a student worship team drawing from both groups of students. (Because of safety and security precautions, we ask that senior high students not enter the building before 6:45 p.m. They may enter any time between 6:45 and 7:00.)

As always our large groups will have great food, fun, giveaways, worship, and challenges from God's Word. All students are invited to attend (and bring your friends!)
