Hi parents!
This Wednesday we welcome the incoming freshmen! So excited for a new group to join us, get plugged in, engage in discipleship and serve! It has been so awesome to hear upperclassmen plan to intentionally welcome in the new 9th graders. I pray they will be blessed by their years in high school ministry and come to know Christ and become more like Him!
PARENT MEETING THIS WEDNESDAY
I am sure that you have questions about the parent meeting this Wednesday. Look out for a separate email coming tomorrow with all that you need to know. Our staff can’t wait to meet/ catch up with you!
NEW WEDNESDAY NIGHT SERIES
This week we start a new sermon series titled, “Prepare to Die”. One of the most impactful chapters in the Bible on my life was Ecclesiastes 1, where Solomon talks about the brevity of this life. Teenagers are often stuck being nearsighted. However, if they begin to live in light of the reality of their imminent death they will see that there is so much more to life than pleasure, popularity or power. They were created to live for God’s glory, which is always our good. My prayer is that students who don’t know Christ would stop living for fleeting pleasures, turn from their sin and surrender to Christ and for the believer in Christ, that they would live radically with the short time remaining for Christ.
SUNDAY MORNINGS
Finally, I wanted to briefly update you on our Sunday morning high school ministry plans. We just wrapped up our time in the Hall of Faith, looking at different men of great faith in the Old Testament. We have a few topical messages leading up to summer camp and the plan to work through Dr. Chris Charles Mueller’s NEWEST books, Let The Men Be Men & Let The Women Be Women. Each week students will read the designated chapters and come back on Sunday to discuss. Thank you for making the commitment to have your student attend the main service each week and make it to youth group during 2nd service in addition.
So thankful for your faithful support and allowing us to team up with you in pointing your student to Christ! See you Wednesday!
