The name E.N.D.L.E.S.S. began as an acrostic, with each letter representing an attribute of God (E for "eternal," L for "loving," etc.).  However, as we began to talk about it, we realized that we couldn't limit those characteristics to only seven, as God's attributes are as endless as He is.

So what does that have to do with our youth group, and why did we choose to call ourselves that?

In Isaiah 40 the prophet says, "Do you not know?  Have you not heard?  The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth."  Because of God's endless qualities, we can put our hope and trust in Him alone, and when we do, the prophet goes on to say, "...but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength.  They will soar on wings like eagles..."

When we find ourselves in the midst of God's infinite glory, and hope in Him instead of ourselves, that's when He can grow us, change us and use us!

On Halloween three teams of students knocked on doors, not to beg for candy, but to ask for canned food to fill the Yavapai Food Bank.

Teams spent about an hour going door to door and after an hour they had collected a total of 172 cans of food!  Check out the mountain of food!

Camp is a long way off, but we feel it's never too soon to start planning for it.  Here are some of the details we know so far:

• We will be returning to Glorieta, NM for Fuge Camps next year.
• We will be attending the week of July 9-14, 2012
• Sammy Nuckolls is the Camp Pastor that week
• The band leading worship that week is Sidewalk Prophets
• Students will have the choice of Centrifugeor M-Fugefor camp this year

Of course, as we get closer to the camp dates, more information will be available.

On the fourth Sunday of each month, join us for "Sullivan Sundays" as we meet off-campus for a night of fun, fellowship, worship and sharing.

Matt and Tracy Sullivan are parents of two of our Middle School students and have graciously opened their home to us each month.

So, I hope you can make it on March 25th from 5-7:30 pm, it's going to be a blast!

Throughout the year, we will have activities that require a permission slip, usually when we travel anywhere in a church vehicle.  We also understand that sometimes those permission slips don't get all the way home to you when they're passed out to the students.  We'd like to provide a digital alternative for those cases.  Simply click on the link below and download the .pdf file.
