180's Summer Calendar
That's right...you heard us say that magical word: "Summer!" We're glad that Summer is finally here and can't wait for all the good times together, having fun and growing in the Lord.
Make sure you are in the know and grab your copy of the 180 Summer calendar in the Youth Center or by downloading it right here.
Grad Parties
This is one of those bittersweet times of the year; It's sweet that you're graduating (!!!!) and bitter because you're moving on from mid school or high school. Well you don't want to miss the celebration! We've got a party in store for our grads this week: Seniors at Fuel (6/10) and 8th graders at the Danger Zone (6/11) from 7-8:30. Come for some great treats, a look back on their years in 180 and a chance to give them some kudos as they move on.
Check out last year's parties:High School Summer Missions
We have some great news here at 180! We are heading to Camp Harlow (www.campharlow.com) in Eugene, OR for a week of camp counseling. Camp Harlow has been a great place for Summer Camps for the last 60 years and this year we get to join with them in serving, sharing God's Word and love, with local children.
If you are a current 8th grader through Senior in High School, download the application packet, pray about it, and contact Pastor Aaron with any questions.

2. SOMETHING FOR YOUR HEART
First Word
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning." (John 1:1-2)
In the first chapter of his book about Jesus, John packs some huge ideas about Jesus into just a few simple sentences. That's good writing. Even those of us who take God's Word as just that don't often give it credit for being well written. God took great care to make sure the words used to communicate His Word were not just meaningful, but also delivered with excellence.
It's no accident, then, that John's first big idea is to call Jesus "the Word." You've probably heard that the original greek word for "word" is logos. That word was known both to Greek philosophy and Jewish theology. It was a perfect word to introduce the idea of Jesus to everyone in John's audience -- on the way to introducing us to the reality of Jesus as the Son of God.
The first thing we learn about this logos is that it's more than just a connection between God and the material world; it is a He. The logos is a person -- a person who has been around since the beginning, a person who has been with God, a person who is God.
Thinking: Have you ever wondered why John called Jesus "the Word" and not "the Picture"? Why do you think God puts such value on words? Why not reveal His truth in video instead of text?
Pray: Ask God to help you get to know Him better by better understanding His Word and all the words in it.
Do: Think about memorizing John 1:1-14 this week.

99% of the people who read the aforementioned statistic will attempt to lick their elbow to see if they are one of that 99%.
