YOUTH

This Week in the Youth Ministry:
The Youth Retreat was a smashing success. It was a BLAST. The Word was heard and fun was had. We'll be heading back to Camp Rapidan for Teen Summer Camp in July. See below for details. Thanks to everyone who made this Youth Retreat weekend possible.

Sunday Morning​s
WORSHIP & CONNECTION

Check out all the ways you and your family can join us in worship on Sundays!
​
Our small groups are called Connection Classes for students in grades 6-12 where we are challenged with what God has to say to us through scripture, prayer and each other!
Youth--please continue to sit together in the first three pews during the 9:00 AM worship service. It's okay to worship together, pray together and sing together.     
CONNECTION SMALL GROUP
Make sure to join us this Sunday for our Middle School (6th-8th grades) and High School (9th-12th grades) Small Group Bible Study. If you need help finding your classroom, just ask! Connection begins at 10:15 AM. Small group is a great way to connect with friends, have some fun and learn more about God together.
​
We look forward to seeing you at 10:15 in the Middle or High School rooms for a little fellowship, a few snacks and some great discussion!
This Sunday, we are beginning a new 4-week series from the book of Acts on evangelism. With social media, just about anyone can be an "influencer" with the right content, good timing and a little bit of luck. Invent a new dance, share a funny take, catch the right moment on camera, and you could get millions of views.  Some "influencers" mostly just use their platforms to get free stuff, but once in a while, you find someone who uses their platform to talk about things that actually matter.

Obviously they didn't have social media back in Jesus' day, but in the Bible, the book of Acts is filled with stories about "influencers" who had important things to say. In this 4-week series, we'll hear their stories, discover that our lives can pass on the good news, and learn how to pass on the good news to unexpected people, to our families, and with humility. We want to "Pass It On."

Week 1: We'll look at the story of Tabitha, who cared for the needs of others in her community and was raised from the dead by Peter. Key verses: Acts 9:36-42; Mark 13:9-11; Matthew 5:14-16.
Week 2: We'll see how Lydia shared the gospel with her family and how Lois and Eunice passed down their faith to Timothy. Key verses: Acts 16:9-15; 2 Timothy 1:3-5; 2 Corinthians 5:18-20; 1 Timothy 4:12.
Week 3: We'll explore why Peter was hesitant to eat with Christians who weren't Jewish and how God changed his mind. Key verses: Acts 10:9-11:18; Luke 7:36-50; 1 Peter 3:15.
Week 4: We'll explore how Paul and Silas shared the gospel before and after they were miraculously freed from prison. Key verses: Acts 16:16-34; 1 Corinthians 3:6-11, 9:16-23.

Blessings to you,
Sarah Powell
