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 beginning 5:30pm September 16.
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, 9th grade small groups will be from 5:30-7:30pm for fall only!! Parent please plan on attending the parent meeting September 16: 6-7pm to learn your role in this teaching.
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 16, October 14, November 11, January 6, and February 17, and April 2 from 5:30-7pm. If you want or need more information about Confirmation please call Marsha at 392-1157.
Get Connected – Are you looking for a way to get more connected? Are you looking for a place to grow in your walk with Jesus? Then being apart of a small group is where you need to be. If you are already in a small group, don’t forget to re-sign up for your group. Our small groups meet every Sunday night, times vary. Some of the groups meet in homes and others meet at the church. Call Todd @ 392-1154 or Amy @ 392-1156 to get more info.
