May 20th - Last ZOE of School Year

Hey Everyone! We hope you aren't so terribly upset that the school year is coming to an end. We know it breaks your heart to think you will have to go a little while without learning your favorite topics like: trigonometry, physics, geography, science, language arts, and child development.
We hate to tell you more bad news, but the end of school also means the end of the ZOE year as well. This Wednesday, May 20th will be our last Chapters for the school year. We will be back near the end of June, but this will be it for awhile. So, we hope you come and join us.

Toms Shoes Come to ZOE on April 22nd

On top of the fact that this week is going to be an awesome week at ZOE, we are hosting staff of Tom's Shoes. If you haven't seen the commercials yet, or heard the hype of these trendy new shoes you have got to check them out (www.tomsshoes.com).
Not only will you be able to get a discount if you buy them at ZOE, but you will send some kid in Argentina a pair of shoes as well. CHECK OUT THE VIDEO. Make sure you let your parents know as well. They will have adult sizes and children sizes. You can find shoes and prices on their website listed above. Tom's Shoes will be at Middle School and High School ZOE.

Mpower Seminar - April 13th

ZOE is thrilled to partner with Mercy Ministries to host a MPOWER Seminar on Monday, April 13th from 7:00pm-8:30pm at the ZOE House. This seminar will focus on the issues of eating disorders and self-harm and is all about equipping local teachers, churches, and parents to be able to help the desperate young people find freedom from serious, life-controlling issues.

We know that the situation is serious. We believe that by equipping the local community to be in a position on the front-lines of this fight, we are able to reach many before they spiral out of control. We hope that in attending this seminar you will walk away with a better understanding of these issues that grip so many of our young people, and how to address these issues head-on.

This seminar is free and open to the public. Please invite any parent or school administrator/teacher you know. Seating is limited. You must register to attend! Go to www.mpowerseminars.com and fill out the form. We hope that you will be able to join both ZOE and Mercy Ministries reach hurting young people.

Cost is free - Must Register
Monday, April 13th
7:00 - 8:30pm

New Series - Knowing the Word

It always seems like I am a broken record. When it comes to the Christian life and being successful at standing for the Lord in all the battles we face... there is only one answer. You have to KNOW THE WORD. If someone was going to ask me how do I get in shape. I really wish I could say... all you have to do is watch this video... or just hang out with people that are really fit. But it doesn't work that way... you have to exercise if you want to be in shape. The same goes with my walk in Christ. I have to know the Word. It is 100% truth.
This new year more than anything I want to know the Lord more than anything else. We are going to be starting a new series at ZOE called Knowing the Word. What does the Bible say about God's Love, Worrying, Gossip, Witnessing, Pluralism, Addictions, etc. We hope you will come and be a part of the following weeks. We also encourage you to commit to spend more time in the Word this year than you ever have before.

ZOE Begins Wednesday, January 14th!

Hey Everybody. Hope you had a great Christmas break. Sorry that it had to end! We do have some exciting news. ZOE will be starting back up next week on Wednesday, January 14th. We will be back to our regular schedule. Hope to see you there and bring your friends.
