Take It Further/Resources/Links/Music
We’re expanding the Sunday experience digitally! We invite you to dive in both during and after Sunday’s event. Most weeks you’ll find features like these:
> Exact scripture references and reminders.
> Space to take notes or save thoughts.
> Links to videos or other media used.
> Social networking links [like Facebook and Twitter]
> Prayer request links.
> Listing of all the music and media we used, in case you want to look for it elsewhere. (to work with the “what was the name of that song? oh, and who sings it?”)
> Links to the Take It Further writing done by the TIF team.
Check out this new web resource at warehouse242.org/live, or go directly to youversion.com

> We are a community that prays.

When here on Sunday, you’ll find people who would love to pray for you in the prayer room after each service. Or, you can fill out a prayer card and drop it in one of the yellow boxes. But during the week, you can still reach someone for prayer. Just e-mail our prayer team at prayer@warehouse242.org

> Studio 242 / Third Tuesday / July 20

> Bishop Spaugh / Year-End Report

Last Tuesday, June 8th, Marc dropped off 300 frozen burgers, along with scores of buns and condiments at Bishop Spaugh for Wednesday’s 8th Grade Block Party–a year-end celebration for the 180 students who are moving on to high school. Put another way, these are 180 students who are not dropping out. What an accomplishment.

Overall, consider the progress our neighborhood middle school made this year:
• End of Grade (EOG) scores leaped 10% points from last year.
• They fulfilled their federal No Child Left Behind Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) goals.
• They are no longer the lowest performing middle school in the district.

Warehouse has reason to celebrate. Our community:
-Prayer walked the campus grounds
-Supplied backpacks filled with school supplies for every student
-Mentored the most at-risk students
-Proctored the EOG test
-Collected Box Tops for their benefit
-Linked our Harris Teeter VIC cards for “Together in Education”
-Contributed to a 400% increase in donations from Target by using our Red Cards when we bought toothpaste, tank tops, and Tostitos.
