7th-9th Small Groups

Hey, don’t forget to sign up to be in a Small Group! Being a part of a small group is awesome. It’s a great place to grow your relationship with Jesus, have fun hanging out with guys/girls your own age. A Small Group is made up of same gender and the same grade PLUS two incredible adults that want to hang out with you. 7th-9th Small Groups all meet in the Student Ministries Area this year. Yes you can be in a 7th grade small group and not be a part of Confirmation! If you haven’t signed up yet, you can do that on Sunday mornings or just come to the church on Sunday nights, 7th grade 4-5:30pm and 8TH and 9th grades will be 5-6:30pm starting September 20.

Freshman Small Groups- The Battle

Sex is a hot topic in the world, and as our students are growing they’re faced with making choices about sexual integrity everyday. Sure schools have sex ED and there are the infamous sex talks from parents, but we also believe there is no better place to learn and talk about it then at church where they can get the truth and understand what God says about it. So the fall semester the freshman small groups will be working through the Every Young Women’s/Men’s Battle books. Mark(with the boys) and Marsha(with the girls) will teach a 30 minute session and then they will break up in their groups to discuss. Therefore, 8th grade small groups will be from 5-6:30pm!! Parent please plan on attending the parent meeting September 20 5-6:30pm to learn your role in this teaching and our other Parent Meetings October 4, November 1, and December 6 from 5-6:30pm!

7th Grade Confirmation

ATTENTION 7th Gradeeeerrrrs!!! What is Confirmation you ask? Confirmation is learning about God, Jesus, the church and where you fit in, what it means to be a Christian, plus a whole bunch of other stuff that will help you decide whether or not you want to become a member of the United Methodist Church. In other words this is how you become a member of Asbury. Confirmation is a parent/student-based experience where parent(s) and their student(s) are encouraged to seek and share—–through adult led Sunday Night Small Groups for students and through parent led home discussions—–the critical truths about His plan for their lives. Parents- you have five mandatory meetings September 20, October 25, November 8 (Scavenger Hunt 4:30pm-6:30pm), January 17, and February 28, and April 4 from 4:30-6pm. If you want or need more information about Confirmation please call Marsha at 392-1157.
