Welcome to The Wave, our student newsletter! It consists of many different things from events, to new sermon series, to verses and thoughts of the month, to music. We really hope this newsletter will be an awesome way to keep everyone connected and informed!
Current Teaching Series
Palm Sunday - "It's Not All About Me"
The focus for Palm Sunday's message is on God's unending plan for humanity. Which can actually be summed up in this verse; "For my own sake, for my own sake, I do it, for how should my name be profaned? My glory I will not give to another (Isaiah 48:11)." The reason God does anything, is that it pleases Him and that it gives Him ALL the glory!
Easter Sunday - "Sovereign Joy"
"When all is said and done, only God can create joy in God. This is why the old saints not only pursued joy but prayed for it: Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us (Ps. 90:15). To be satisfied by the beauty of God does not come naturally to sinful people. By nature we get more pleasure from God's gifts than from himself (John Piper)." This Easter Sunday we are going to get deep into the concept that joy is only from God (a gift from God) and that rejoicing or delighting in God is a duty that is given to us in the Bible.
Guest Speakers
This teaching series is going to be presented to us from some of our volunteers within the ministry. They are going to be teaching on a unified topic from the heart. We are always very excited to hear what the Lord is putting on the hearts of our treasured volunteers!

Devo'Zine of the Month
NOTE: You can also pick up your own hard copy
of this month's Devo'Zine in the Student Office today!
Center Stage
Brooke Nan Stevens, 16 ~ Osborne Park H.S.
I attend Osborne Park and I am in the marching band (on the drum-line). Next year I hope to be drum captain. I am also in the biotechnology program at OP and I can't wait to go off to college to fulfill my major dream of becoming an Orthopedic Surgeon. Every week I look forward to Sundays for the sole reason of coming to church. I am one of the leaders of Females Committed to Christ (one of the Sr. High Girls Groups) which meets every Tuesday; this is my second favorite day of the week.

What is an interesting fact about you?
My favorite thing to do when I am upset is to sit in my car and drive with the Christian music cranked up and my car shaking from how loud it is.
What time period would you travel back to? When Jesus was teaching and preaching. Why? I would love to hear His words and His message from, HIS mouth!
If you could be any animal, which one would you be? Sheep, I love sheep. They are amazing and warm and fuzzy. They remind me of Christ, the Sacrificial Lamb.
If you could appear on a TV show, which would it be? Gray's Anatomy. Why? Because, that is what I want to be…a surgeon
What college are you hoping to attend after high school? Right now, we'll say James Madison. I want to study chemistry.
Next Month We'll Check Out: Jessica Purdy
Fighter Verse of the Month
We want to share our conviction with you guys on scripture memorization. We actually have four convictions that we hope you will share with us on this subject: The life of faith is a fight of faith, and we must all be well-armed for this fight. The Word of God is an indispensable weapon for those (you all who have proclaimed Christ as your savior) engaged in this battle. The "battle" is becoming increasingly fierce while many Christians are unskilled in using this weapon effectively. Committing the Word of God to memory makes this powerful weapon readily available and provides us with an ever-present counselor and protector from the enemy of our souls. Each month we give you a piece of scripture and we truly hope that you will start to take that month and meditate on this single piece of scripture and learn it, memorize it and place it deep with in you to sustain you in this battle. 2 Cor. 10:3-4, 1 Tim 1:18c, 1 Peter 3:15b, 2 Tim 3:16-17

Band of the Month
Check them out at their Myspace page: Relient K
Letter to the Editor
Each month we take questions to give answers to. Questions do not have to be simply about faith they can also be things such as; how tall is Pastor Glenn really?, who is older, Kevin or Stuart? no question is a bad one here. The biggest question for me right now is; "Who is going to be this year's American Idol?!?
Just submit your question to thirst@tsmst.org and we will respond with an appropriate answer in next month's edition of The Wave.
Next Month's Wave
- A JNS SECTION
- GUYS/GIRLS CORNER
We are always taking suggestions for new sections of The Wave. If you have a good idea for a section to The Wave, you can send those in to thirst@tsmst.org as well.
Have an awesome April and keep on Thirsting for the Lord!
