Hey, First Student Families!
We're excited to kickoff the new school year with your student tomorrow! We know these transition Sundays can be exciting but also a little confusing so take a moment to read through what's happening tomorrow and feel free to reply if you have any questions and someone from the First Students team will answer as soon as possible!
Starting on Sunday, August 8, students are officially recognized at FBCO for their new grade for the 21-22 school year. This means that students will move up to a new grade and meet their new Life Group leader.
For our 6th & 7th graders (21-22 school year), you will now begin meeting in the Gym instead of the KidsLife Area.
For those who graduated high school in 2021, there are two Young Adult Life Groups that meets at 9:40 in Rooms A351 and A364.
There will be free donuts, milk, orange juice and coffee for breakfast, as well as some fun ice breaker games and a Chick-fil-A gift card giveaway!
New First Student apparel will be available for sale tomorrow morning in the Main Entrance Lobby from 9:15-9:45am, 10:45-11:05am, and 11:50am-12:15pm. Apparel will also be available for sale before/after Youth Night!
Cash, card or check is accepted. Sizes are limited.
We are so excited that starting Sunday, August 8, our Youth Night will be at 7pm! That's right – JHM is moving from 5pm to 7pm! Students will continue to meet separate (High School in Worship Center, JHM in Gym) but will be one drop off, one pick up for families.
We are asking that ALL students check-in in the Main Entrance Lobby tomorrow night and that students arrive at 6:45pm in order to help get them through check-in and start on time.
This Youth Night will include worship, message, games and a Nintendo Switch giveaway! Invite a friend, you won't want to miss it!
Youth Wars is a one-day event where students come to be recharged and challenged spiritually as the new school year begins. The day is packed with team games (dress in your team colors!), dynamic worship, and guest speaker, Gerald Fadayomi.
There is no cost, but we ask that you RSVP online by Wednesday, September 8 to help us prepare teams & food.
Underground Wknd Registration Opens August 8!
Underground Wknd is our annual fall retreat and is often student’s favorite weekend of the year! The weekend is for 6th-12th graders and will be packed with community, games, worship, Bible study and spiritual renewal.
This year, we are taking our Jr. High (6th-8th grade) and High School (9th-12th grade) to separate locations – but the same weekend! Please see the Underground Parent Packet for additional details about location, schedule, packing list, etc.
Please check our website for the parent packet, registration link, HelpGo Scholarship and Time Away information.
Attached is a calendar of First Student Events for the 21-22 school year.
