Middle School Game Night!
Friday night Sept 17th Exit our middle school group will be having an epic game night here at Shoreline. Every game night we top the last and the games get crazier! This is a must for all 6th to 8th graders as it’s one of the biggest events of the year. So if your ready to chug clam juice, smash eggs with fish, spin to you fall, and win great prizes then this is your night. Come to play or just to watch but either way bring a friend for an amazing evening. In the Shoreline youth room at 6pm on Sept 17th.
Parents we are always looking for more volunteers so why not come hangout for the night to see how you might get involved with the middle school team. One way to help would be to provide snacks such as chips, popcorn, or finger foods for our events. Contact Pastor Andrew for more information.

This week we are looking at the habit of accountability. Sunday morning several of the middle school leaders shared about times when accountability has played a large role in their life and how they stay accountable on a regular basis. From these stories Danny went into scripture to teach through accountability as we find it in scripture. At Exit we strive to teach the students that you can’t make it through life alone and being held accountable my bothers in part of our community.
Below is a short outline to help continue the conversation at home. Please contact Pastor Andrew with any questions or leave a comment on this post to share your thoughts with other readers.
ACCOUNTABILITY ADDS UP…
Accountability adds INSIGHT to your decisions Result: direction
Fools think they need no advice, but the wise listen to others. Proverbs 12:15
Accountability adds TRUTH to your perception Result: perspective
Wounds from a friend are better than many kisses from an enemy. Proverbs 27:6
Accountability adds HOPE when you’re hurting Result: healing
Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed.
The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and wonderful results.
James 5:16
Accountability adds FAITH to your journey Result: spiritual growth
As iron sharpens iron, a friend sharpens a friend. Proverbs 27:17
Deeper friends=Better Life=Greater impact=People meet Jesus=Lives are changed
MOVING FROM FRIENDSHIP TO ACCOUNTABILITY
- Meet FAITHFULLY
- Speak TRUTHFULLY
- Admit STRUGGLES
- Encourage STRENGTHS
- Challenge SPIRITUALLY
One last thought: Developing this habit will change your FRIENDSHIPS & your LIFE.

This week we are looking at the habit of spending time with God. Sunday morning Pastor Andrew began this series by sharing about why it’s important to hang out with God. We spent time talking about why do we choose to spend time with the people we spend time with and how do they influence our lives. From there we spent time talking about how as christians we should be on a constant journey to be more like christ so that means we must spend time with him.

Hanging out with God…
Dearest friends, you were always so careful to follow my instructions when I was with you. And now that I am away you must be even more careful to put into action God’s saving work in your lives, obeying God with deep reverence and fear. For God is working in you, giving you the desire to obey him and the power to do what pleases him. Philippians 2:12-13
- Your relationship with God is meant TO GROW
- Spiritual growth is a life-long JOURNEY
- Developing spiritual habits will help you grow ON YOUR OWN
When you spend time with God…
He changes your HEART
Don’t keep looking at my sins. Remove the stain of my guilt. Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a right spirit within me.
Psalm 51:9-10
He gives you DIRECTION for living
Your commandments give me understanding; no wonder I hate every false way of life. Your word is a lamp for my feet and a light for my path. Psalm 119:104-105
But when the Father sends the Counselor as my representative– and by the Counselor I mean the Holy Spirit– he will teach you everything and will remind you of everything I myself have told you. John 14:26
He’s there during your PROBLEMS
He [God] comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When others are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us. 2 Corinthians 1: 4
Hanging out with God…
1. Make time with God a PRIORITY
2. Take the time REGULARLY
3. Hang out with comfort rather than GUILT
