Student Ministries 411- August 22

Tomorrow night, we are beginning a new series titled “Sweetness: Savoring Scripture in Everyday Life,” it is a worship night, and small groups begin for the year! 

The focus of tomorrow night’s lesson will be on Psalm 119, and we will look at why and how we savor Scripture in everyday life.  Our prayer is that as we dig into the Word together tomorrow night that our teens will truly WANT to read and savor Scripture.

Here are some questions to consider:

• What does Psalm 119 text tell me or remind me about God?
• What does this passage teach or remind me about myself?
• What does this passage tell me about how God uses the Bible in everyday life?
• What are the results, according to this passage, of meditating on and walking in the truths of Scripture? What could this look like this week?

One of our core values as a youth ministry is to help students develop their own faith by learning how to prioritize spiritual disciplines. Offering WOL Scholarship is one way that we seek to implement this value. WOL Scholarship provides a measurable way for parents and small group leaders to hold students accountable through tracking these spiritual disciplines throughout the year. The goal is accountability and growth in order to, Lord-willing, establish life-long habits. For a breakdown of each category required for WOL scholarship, please read our updated WOL Scholarship Informational Booklet.

If your student is interested in completing WOL Scholarship this year and would like to purchase a quiet time book, they can purchase it online and it will be available to be picked up at Parent Night Out!

Find out more information about the difference between the two quiet time books, see the cost of the books, and purchase your student’s quiet time book HERE!

Here is an overview of what was covered during Parent Night Out last Wednesday!

 

• Please read the WOL Scholarship Informational Booklet. This book was gone over in detail during Parent Night Out to help you all as parents understand the purpose behind WOL and the scholarship requirement if your student decide to pursue earning WOL Scholarship this year. Please read this and reach out to us if you have any questions at all!
• Our main ways of communicating with you all as parents is through our Weekly 411, our Instagram page, and our Facebook page. Our Student Webpage is also a helpful resource with info about WOL Scholarship, helpful links, and info about youth ministry. Make sure to stay up to date with youth ministry by reading these pages regularly throughout the year!
