TWIN DAY
DRESS LIKE YOUR BEST FRIEND, YOUR YOUTH PASTOR, OR YOUR HERO!
Here's an overview of Rusty's message for tonight:
“The Treasure Worth Seeking” Matthew 13:44-46
Big Idea - This message will remind students that Jesus calls us to surrender everything to follow Him. Seeking Jesus as our treasure will cause us to leave the things of the world behind as we pursue Him.
Feel free to use the following discussion questions during your church group share time tonight after worship:
1. What is your most prized possession? What do you treasure more than anything else in this world?
2. What does it look like to “sell everything” in order to seek Jesus? What do we give up?
3. Read Matthew 6:19-34. When we seek Jesus, what does He promise to give us? (Vs. 33 “all these things).
Tonight we will have the Raft Draft and Boat Race! We will meet up in the Tabernacle at 10:00. From there, we will have the Raft Draft, and then we will all head to the pool shortly after. Please make sure that 4 students from your color group are prepared to enter the pool and try and float across (dress accordingly). Color groups will enter the pool area when it is your turn.
We have merch! If you or your students want some Launch branded items, including custom colors for your color group, check out our merch table in the foyer of the Tabernacle.
Each day your color group will go to the same location for break out bible study.
Those locations are as follows:
Blue/Green - Tabernacle
Red/Yellow - Cedar Meeting Space
Purple/Orange - Lodge
Breakout Topics/Teachers:
John Denby - “Seek The Lord”
Jeff Loftin - “Search The Word”
Jimmie Neel - “Search Me and Know Me”

Camp Champ and Foot Washer Award
We love to recognize students who go above and beyond. Every morning we announce a "Camp Champ". This is a student who demonstrates lots of spirit, excitement, sportsmanship, and leadership on and off the rec field. If you see a student who exemplifies this (can be one of your students or from another group) please text us their name and color group and a brief reason why you want to nominate them. We will also recognize one student during the Campy Awards on Thursday night with our "Foot Washer" Award. This is a student who served behind the scenes and stood out for their servant hearted attitude. Please text us any nominations for this award also.

Mission Offering
Josh and Devon Fults have been a part of the Launch family for many years. Josh previously has served as a youth pastor in the SNBA, he has spoken at multiple Launch events, and he and Devon have both lead breakout sessions for our Launch conferences. He now serves as the pastor of First Baptist Church in Orange, Texas. For the last few years, they have been in a fierce battle with an autoimmune disease that their 2 daughters Hadley and Hollyn both fight. Last month, it was discovered that Devon had a brain tumor. Like every other obstacle this family has faced, they met this challenge with faith and they pressed on. Devon is currently recovering from this massive surgery, their daughters are still facing treatments, and their are multiple doctor appointments and variables along the way. In the midst of all of this, their faith has not wavered and their mantra has been steady: We will trust, He will provide.
We have an opportunity to play a role in God’s provision for this amazing family this week as we designate the love offering Thursday night during our worship service to help go towards the expenses that they are facing. We encourage you to let your students know about this ahead of time. If you would like to write a check, please make it out to the Sabine Neches Baptist Area.
You can follow the Fults family’s journey (and you’re sure to be encouraged and inspired in doing so) by clicking the button below.
Tuesday-Thursday Free Time (2:30-5:30) activities will feature: ropes course, pool, canoes, rifle range, archery, dodgeball, basketball, ping pong, 9 square, snack shack, and ETBE Store.
We want camp to be a launching point in your students faith. Our committee has written a 21 day devotional on the book of John to help your campers continue seeking Jesus after camp. Share the link with them, or print it at your church and distribute it to your crew!
Worship doesn’t have to end after Friday. Share the songs that Brandon led all week with your students!
