Kicking off!

As the summer winds down, we are getting ready for school to kick back off.  And with a new school year coming, I wanted to let you know of our plans for the youth.  

- On Sunday mornings when we gather for Sunday school, we will be going through the Gospel Project studying the theme "Bearing God's Image."  We will look at our identity in Christ and how God has created us to live and move in this world.
- On Sunday nights, we will be meeting with our Middle School students in the Family Ministries Center going through the book of Mark.  We will learn how to study the Bible, journal, and understand what is being said in each passage.
- On Tuesday nights, we will be meeting with our High School students at my house having dinner and going through an overview of the Old and New Testaments.  We will learn what each book in the Bible is about as well as how they fit into the meta-narrative of God's story.

There will also be different concerts and other activities that we will do throughout the months ahead.  And don't forget, it's not to early to be preparing for our summer trip in 2014 as we head back to Myrtle Beach for the Student Life conference.  David Platt will be our speaker again and the Passion Band featuring Kristian Stanfill will be our worship leaders while we are there.  The dates for this are June 16-20, 2014.

Thank you for all your prayers and support as we encourage these students to lay aside all that the world tries to ensnare them with and pursue Christ with reckless abandon.
