This Is How She Feels...

Ya know, there are some great things that continue to take place at Overflo! One of which I am really excited about is 727! 727 Small Groups have been awesome in 2009. Every week, students have been coming out on Saturdays at 727. We have been averaging 35-40 students. I am stoked at students digging deeper into the scriptures.

Another that excites me is, 727 has, on average, 8 adult volunteers who lead their groups every week. They rock. But even more importantly, they love to serve the students. Just last week, one of the female volunteers emailed me as soon as she got home from a 727. This is how she feels.... "Thanks for the opportunity to work with the girls, I love meeting with them on Saturday night. I just hope and pray they are getting as much out of our time together as I am."

With all that said, if you are not in a 727 group, you need to come on out this Saturday night for our final session on "Best Sex Ever from God's Perspective."

Well, I hope you have a great week. I look forward to seeing you at Overflo Student Night on Thursday! I'll be concluding our BSE series. Plus, I will be giving out the brochure for Youth Alive 2009!

I Was Tired....

Okay, I have to admit it to you. I slept in today. Now I feel better after being upfront and honest with you. Now how about you? You sleep in today on your day off from school? Well, I hope you enjoy your day. Relax, chill out, eat, be lazy! But clean up your sorry looking room!

You got Overflo Student Night on your schedule this week? This Thursday night is gonna be fun. Here's why.... First, we cannot meet in the auditorium because they are installing all new lighting. So we are gonna be creative. Our plans are actually to do an outdoor thing in the parking lot, but now it looks as if mother nature may interfere with that idea. Now bring some warm clothing because if the rain and wind hold off, we 'll enjoy Overflo outside. Don't worry, you won't be cold 'cause we'll serve hot chocolate. If we have to move indoors, we're gonna get creative.

So with all this said, come on out and enjoy Overflo Student Night this Thursday, February 19 at 6:45pm. We'll be diving into week #3 of the "Best Sex Ever" series. This week's topic is "How Far Can I Go." Don't forget about 727 this Saturday too. We'll continue on in "BSE2" week #3 there too.

Well, I hope to see you this week. Thanks to everyone who came out last Thursday as well as the 727 Best Ever Valentine Party on Saturday.

Oh yeah, one final thing....this Thursday, I'll be announcing about the summer trip to Youth Alive! You won't want to miss hearing about it!

Oh yeah, and another thing....I need all students to help at the Fireproof movie night this Friday, February 20. Be here at 6:30pm and you'll be helping raise money to offset the cost of the bus transportation to YA. Some of you will help in childcare and others, in serving refreshments. Now don't come if you are going to NOT help out! I need hard workers! You can sign up this Thursday night.

Adios my friends,
Pastor Barry

94...38...Hut, Hut, Hick

Ok, this is not a football play. It is what's happening around the Overflo right now! To say I am stoked is an understatement! I am thrilled at all God continues to do amongst our students and volunteers,

This past week, we had a high at Overflo Student Night with 94 students in attendance. It excites me to know that students are inviting other students. Now if you missed it, you missed out on a lot. We began our new series "Best Sex Ever" as we dug into what God says about sex. The whole evening was great. The drama team rocked! Their skit started the series off great. Then the band...wow...probably the best I ever heard them! They have stepped it up and done awesome. I think they are working on a brand new song to do either this week or next. Now don't miss this upcoming Thursday night. A new drama and a look at God's word on sex.

And how about 727? We started a 4 week series of small groups to go along with the BSE series. 38 students were in attendance! That's what stokes me! 38 students wanting to dig deeper into what God says on sex! If you missed it, come out this Saturday at 727. You can jump right in!

Well, hope you have a great week! I look forward to hanging out with you. Got some cool things to tell you about what's coming to Overflo soon!

Stoked to being a daddy in 27 days,

Best Week Ever...Best Sex Ever

It has been talked about (in hallways all across Palm Coast). It has been prayed about (amongst students, leaders, and parents). It has been given to us (through the creation of God). It will be taught (from God's perspective).

Please come and be a part of Overflo for the next 4 weeks! You won't want to miss it. Whether you're in a relationship, want out of a relationship, or hate the thought of relationships, you'll want to be here. This series is for everyone in grades 6-12!

Overflo will also be hosting a special 727 for the next few weeks in conjunction to the "Best Sex Ever" series...


At "Best Sex Ever 2", you will meet in your 727 small groups to discuss the sex and dating topic.

No need to sign up for 727. Just be there at 727 on Saturday. And bring $5 to help offset the cost of the materials.

Well, I hope to see you this Thursday! It is gonna be a great night. The drama team as well as the Overflo band will be part too!

Have the best week ever,
Pastor Barry
