Who We Are

de•fined Ministries is the youth ministry of Calvary Chapel Bend.

We are focused on providing an environment where our youth can learn about Jesus Christ, develop an intimate walk with Him, and take this Gospel of hope and salvation into their schools, homes, and throughout the world (Acts 1:8). This is done by focusing on the teaching of God's Word, time in prayer and communion, and fellowship (Acts 2:42). We also want to be those who seek to fulfill the Great Commission (Matt. 28:19,20) by doing outreach in our community and abroad.

For more information about getting involved, contact Ben Bronson at 541.383.5097 or email at definedministries@gmail.com

FnL - Installment #2

Okay, so as Julia mentioned in her comment on the last post, it's time to think about who you're inviting to the next Friday Nite Live. I figured I'd better give you guys some info regarding the next installment of FnL, since it will be a little different than the first week.

First of all, it will not be on the first Friday of January. I know, I know, we just got started and we're already breaking tradition, but I think you guys will be glad to wait a week. Why? Well, that brings me to the second point.

On top of the Wii, xBox, ping-pong, foosball, apple game of Julia's, chess, and so forth, we're also going to be having some special music. When I say "special," I mean good. Who is it thats going to be playing this music for us? ME!!!












No, not really. That wouldn't be good or fun. It might be "special" though. But not good special. Special in a short-bus kind of way. Did I really just say that? Oops. So who is it really? It's a band called esterlyn. If you haven't heard of them yet, you will soon. They will be spending the better part of '08 touring with Kutless and Stellar Kart. Before they go on tour, though, they are stopping in Bend and will be playing for us. We will still be having all the games, activities, and prizes, but we figured a concert would go along nicely with the evening. If you want to check out their music, you can look at their myspace. Click here to check them out.

So now you have one more reason to invite your friends out.

Friday, Jan. 11th. More details to follow...

Friday Nite Live - It's On!

Well, we made it through our first FnL. Hope everyone had a great time. Thanks for your participation, and I'm already looking forward to January.

Just a quick recap for those not in attendance (or those with memory loss).

•We had about 30 students show up, which was awesome for our first FnL.
•Ashlee won the icebreaker game with 8 clothespins, and the Webb's couldn't seem to hang on to their clothespins, try as they might.
•Rian learned how to tell the difference between odd and even numbers, and Bean spit his gum at Zach during our relay. The even team won. Yea!
•The hang-out time was great, and we decided to nix the last group game so we could spend more time playing the board games and video games. We also found out that Terry is an amazing bowler on the Wii.
•Terry shared his story with us about how the Lord got ahold of his life, and how he had a hole filled that nothing else could fill.
•Vanessa won the door prize.




Let's remember to continue praying for our friends that came, and that the Lord would bring even more friends in January.
