Student Ministries 411- Sept 22nd

“We are thrilled to announce that Jamie Banister has stepped into the Student Ministries Assistant role, formerly occupied by Elizabeth Huggins. Jamie steps into the role no stranger to our ministry area (and to many of you), having served with her husband Joel for years in a variety of ways with our teens and leaders. Along with her knowledge and passion for the ministry and the people within, she will be a significant help in the logistical and administrative happenings in Student Ministries. If you’d like to reach out to Jamie for things related to youth ministry, her work email is jlbanister@hbclynchburg.com. We are grateful to the Lord for Elizabeth Huggins, the handoff that has occurred, and for Jamie stepping into this position!

 

Jesus is a King

Tomorrow night we finish our Paradox series, a series where our expectations and intuitions of Jesus and the Kingdom of God are turned upside down. This week we look at John 1, and are surprised to see God take on flesh, the divine connecting with humanity in this way. We will consider as a group the implications of the incarnation, and I hope walk away with a much deeper appreciation and awe of Jesus not only as a result of this lesson looking at His human and divine natures, but an admiration too of Him as we consider the entirety of His series and this kingdom into which we have been graciously brought!
