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.

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.

ZOE 2009 BEGINS ON WEDNESDAY
Hey Everybody! It is almost been a month since we last had a ZOE. We are so excited to be back in the swing of things this Wednesday, January 14th. Back at our normal times, we hope to see you there.
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.

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.
NOE ZOE ON CHRISTMAS EVE
We figured it would go without saying that we wouldn't have ZOE on Christmas Eve. However, we have had several people ask if we were having ZOE this week. So here it is... it is official, no ZOE this week. If you and your family are looking for a cool way to celebrate Christmas Eve, we will be up at the West County Community Church Christmas Eve Service. It is from 5:00 - 6:00pm. Get there a little early, because the seats fill up quickly. Merry Christmas!
SPECIAL TIME - WEDNESDAY 6:30 - 8:00PM
Hey Everybody. We are having ZOE Wednesday night, December 17th. Due to Finals, we are only having one ZOE chapter for both middle school and high school. It will be a great study break for everyone.
Afterwards, the ZOE house will remain open for all you high schoolers. The Coffee house will be open and you are welcome to stay and study. We might even have a few scholars there in science and math if you are having questions on certain formulas or theories. Invite your friends and we hope to see you there.

Hello First Teamer,
As you think about Christmas and all of its immediate benefits - - vacation from school and gifts, we encourage you to read the Christmas story from Matthew 1-2 and Luke 1-2 and list all the benefits of the Christmas story you have every day of your life! As an example, the phrase, “Do not be afraid” appears often. Because of Jesus Christ in our lives, God graces us to be ruled by faith instead of fear. Always remember: fear focuses on the situation. Faith focuses on the Savior!
• Start each day on your knees humble before the Lord, dependent on Him to empower you with His presence to obey and share Him.
• Meditate on God’s Word and stay focused on Him.
• Stay on the offense - tell your friends about Jesus & invite them to ZOE. Your friends are depending on you to show them Christ’s love!
You are more important to God and others than you will ever understand! God loves you so much that He gave His Son, Jesus! God cares so much about you that He sent His Holy Spirit to live in you! Every day is a new day!
Review Romans 12:1-2, 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, Acts 4:13, 2 Timothy 1:7, Matthew 6:33, Hebrews 12:2, 1 Peter 3:15, James 1:22, Galatians 6:9, Hebrews 12:1, John 13:35 and Mark 4:20. Memorize this week one of our favorite verses from the Christmas story, Luke 1:38: "I am the Lord's servant," Mary answered. "May it be to me as you have said." Then the angel left her.”
See you at ZOE this Wednesday, 5:30 -7:00 p.m. for Middle School & 7:30-9:15 p.m. for High School.
We love you and are praying for you!
Phillip, Ashley, & Pastor Phil

ZOE - November 19
Wednesday night was pretty cool. In Middle School we had the largest crowd we have had in a long time. We counted 65 middle schoolers! Despite several technical difficulties the night was a lot of fun. In high school our numbers were a little down but we had several new people. The worship was amazing and Matt brought the Word. He spoke from James and challenged everyone to not "be just hearers of the word, but doers." A lot of us think that inspiration can carry us through our life, but we need to know first hand who the Lord is and what our identity in Christ is. The only way to do that is to study the Word for our self and put into practice what we are learning. Also, we got to hear Mark Dungan share his testimony of how knowing Jesus has given him purpose in life. It was a great night!
