THIS Sunday, July 25 will be our last regular Impact of the summer and we’re having an ICE CREAM SUNDAE PARTY!!!  We’ll meet @ Impact @ 7:00 pm and we’ll pig out on ice cream and play games until 8:30!  There are some new things around the Student Center, so come and check it all out…and bring a friend to make it an even better night!

That’s why Impact is going to enjoy a weekend in the sun! 

First of all, join us on Friday (July 16) afternoon from 1:00-5:00 pm for a day @ Raging Rivers!  Last time we went it was a little chilly, but it’s going to be sunny and in the 90′s on Friday – a great day to be in the water!  Cost is $13 – call Barry @ 471-7582 if you need a ride.

Then on Sunday, Gateway will be having our Family Sunday @ the Park and we’re going BIG with this one!  We’re renting a GIANT 18′ inflatable slide and we’ll have an obstacle course that you can set your best time on – it’s going to be a blast!  It all starts @ 10:00 am on Sunday morning @ Optimist Park!  A great time, PLUS we’ll feed you!

No regularly scheduled Impact Sunday night, so that we can play ourselves out on Sunday afternoon!

Make your plans to join us for these two days and invite a friend!

See how sad I am?  Why, you ask?  Well, because I haven’t gotten to see any of you in such a long time!  So don’t give me anymore sadfaces and give me a happy one by coming to Impact this Sunday night, July 11 @ 7:00 pm.  We’re going to have a great night and it can only be better if you’re there!

Btw, yes I am the biggest dork in the world!  Hope to see ya Sunday!

We WILL NOT have Impact on the 4th of July, but I hope you and your family will join Gateway and several other churches around town for: 

 The Gathering is a community-wide worship service on Sunday, July 4th @ 9:00 am @ the soccer fields right next to the Mandan Rodeo Grounds.  Basically right behind Bill Barth Ford.  This is going to be a great service and an awesome opportunity for the Body of Christ to worship Jesus Christ together in unity!  Talk to your family about going! 

Impact will be back Sunday, July 11th when we’ll be chasing gnomes around town….seriously….those little guys are crazy!  Stay tuned for more details next week!

Pastor Barry & Jess will be out of town this Sunday, so enjoy your Father’s Day with your family!  Here’s a few thoughts that you could do to make this day especially good for your dad:

Wash his car – mow the lawn – pick him up some hot wings – tell him how much you love him and appreciate what he does for you!

Have a great weekend and we’ll see you next Sunday for a fun night – details will be coming next week!

BRING YOUR OWN GAMEPIECE LIKE A TEDDY BEAR, OLD SHOE, HAT, TOY CAR, SOCCER BALL, LIVE ANIMAL….WAIT, NO LIVE ANIMALS!!! - AND YOU’LL GET AN EXTRA $1,000,000 TO START THE GAME!

WE’LL BE PLAYING MONOPOLY AND LEARNING ABOUT GOD’S RICHES ALL NIGHT LONG!  BE THERE RIGHT AWAY @ 7:00 SO YOU DON’T MISS A TURN!

Secondly – Impact’s summer hours start June 6.  Impact will be open on Sunday nights from 7:00-8:30 pm.  We’re going to be doing some crazy cool stuff all summer long, so don’t miss a week!

Lastly – remember what I said about the “crazy cool stuff”?  Well that starts right away on Sunday, June 6th!  We are turning the Impact Student Center into a GIANT game of Monopoly so that we can play and learn about God’s riches.  YOU WILL NOT WANT TO MISS THIS!!!

See if you can name the places that go with all of these pictures.
