Hello parents!
It is really an exciting time to be a part of youth ministry. You may not be able to tell from the front of the Farrell house, but there has been consistently 100 people showing up on Wednesday nights! Youth group really feels full and exciting right now!
Sermon Preview
In conclusion to our dating series we have a special guest, Jonny Ardavanis coming to preach this coming Wednesday. Jonny is the Dean of Campus Life at The Master’s University, a Camp Director at Hume Lake and hosts the podcast Dial In. He is a great friend (and for some, family) and we're so excited to have him join us. He will be showing the students how to look at the system of dating through a biblical lens.
Here are some questions to ask your student on the ride home:
How do you know if you are ready to date?
What does the world say about dating that is against scripture?
How has this series changed your relationships or your approach to future relationships?
Upcoming Sermon Series
Next week we will be starting a new sermon series titled, “Respectable Sins”. In this series we will focus on the issue of sins we see as “not that bad”. Anger, anxiety, and pride are just a few of the topics we will be covering. My prayer is that through the preaching of The Word students will come to understand that their sin, big or small, is what creates an infinite gap between them and God and that they desperately need a Savior, who is Jesus Christ.
9/25 - Saturdays are for the Boys/ Girls
This event is a beach day where the guys and girls of the ministry will be split up. They will go to different nearby beaches to fellowship, spend time with staff leaders and play games. After grabbing dinner at local restaurants, we will all meet back together in Oceanside for a bonfire.
Here is what you need to know:
Rides: Students have already signed up using a QR code we gave them at the past two Wednesday nights. If your student is signed up and is planning to go, their D group leader will be contacting them in regards to carpooling down together.
