June 2023 Newsletter
Hello everyone,
We hope you had a great Memorial Day weekend and we are excited to update you on a few things happening with DSM!
For one, we are excited to announce that construction has begun on a few of our Next Gen spaces at both campuses! Renovations are nearing completion of the Garage at OBR and we are getting ready to kick off construction of our new gym space at GP very soon. We'll be providing updates on the construction projects over the summer on our social media accounts.
Second is that this Sunday is the start of what we are calling, "Small Group Summer"! Summer is such a beautiful time of the year, but it also results in a different pace of life than the school year. Therefore, we wanted to provide a summer DSM schedule that is more laid back and flexible, but also still meaningful for each student. That's why this summer at DSM Sunday Nights, each small group will be doing their own thing at our Orrs Bridge Road campus. On top of our three summer events, each group has chosen their own book, movie, or study to engage in together. We're excited that each group gets to take creative ownership over what they talk about and have some extended time to build relationships over the summer!
For more info on our summer schedule and events, check out the rest of this newsletter. Happy summer and we hope to see you and your student(s) soon!
Grace and Peace,
Kyle Abel
Pastor of Student Ministries
Hannah Britcher
Assistant Director of Student Ministries

Cowan's Gap Day Trip
For our first summer event, we are taking a day trip to Cowan's Gap! Cowan's Gap is a beautiful state park in Fulton County, Pennsylvania that offers swimming, hiking, boating, volleyball, and more! Students only need to bring minimal spending money for dinner at their concession stand or a fast food stop on the way back to Daybreak. You can now register for this day trip at registrations.db.church!

Pool Party
No matter what the summer holds with Daybreak Student Ministries, we always have at least one pool party. We're still locking-in a location, but make sure to save the date!

Yuck Night
Yuck Night is an old DSM tradition, full of the messiest games we can come up with! Yuck Night will mark the end of our summer calendar and we plan to go out with a blast.

Fall Kickoff
Fall Kickoff marks the beginning of the school year for DSM and it has become one of our biggest events of the year! With student-led worship, crazy games, big announcements and more, it's bound to be an exciting evening! This night also marks the beginning of your 6th grader(s) invitation to all DSM Sunday Nights and events. Fall Kickoff will be on September 10th from 5-8PM.
