Fusion End of the Year Party!
Posted by Tony Smyth on Monday, May 03, 2010
Just a reminder that this week we will meet at the White Bear Campus for our End of the School Year Party on Wednesday night, May 5th from 7:00 - 8:30. We will play some of your favorite games. We will have some snacks and refreshments. We will watch a video of the year’s activities and hear from several of the leaders. This party is FREE! There will be a bus available from the Roseville Campus at 6:30 pm and will return there at about 8:45 pm. Also, I encourage every student to think of a way to say thanks to our J-Hi leaders for a great year of ministry. Write your leader a note, bring a card, bake some cookies, or buy gift certificate to Caribou. Try to think of a special and possibly creative way you can express your thanks to the Fusion leader who faithfully loved and served you this year.

The Gospel Journey
Posted by Tony Smyth on Thursday, March 05, 2009
Well Fusion students, we finished our nine week series “The Gospel Journey”. It was really fun to talk through some of the biggest questions of life together. I hope that you enjoyed it as much as I did! For a lot of you, talking through these big questions made you want to do some more research about what evidence there is for Christianity and I think that’s awesome!! Here are a couple of resources for you if you want to know more about the evidence for Jesus, God and faith. Check these out, they’re great books 
Also, if you have more questions, I would love to talk with you about those!! Feel free to email or call me any time.
