Students: Week of Dec. 5, 2022

It’s Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas!

I love advent season! We are so vividly reminded of God’s grace and love as we celebrate centuries of prophecies being fulfilled in the coming of God’s Son, JESUS, IMMANUEL!

As we continue to celebrate the Advent Season, we will dig even deeper into the Christmas story this Wednesday evening. Here are some discussion questions for our small group time:  

Matthew 1:18-25

  1. Why do you think God would have the Savior of the World be born to a young, unmarried virgin girl from a small town?
  2. What does this story tell us about Joseph?
  3. Have you ever had an encounter with an angel, or heard of someone who has? What does it mean that the angel came to Joseph in a dream?
  4. What was the role of the Holy Spirit in the Christmas Story?
  5. What does the name Jesus mean? What does it mean that he will save his people from their sins?
  6. What does Immanuel mean? Why is important to know Jesus as Immanuel?
  7. Why is it important that the birth of Jesus was foretold by a prophet? What prophet? When?
  8. When did the Wise Men show up to present gifts to Jesus?
  9. How do we help people experience Jesus as Immanuel?
  10. What gifts can we present to Jesus?

CHRISTMAS PARTY IS ON!

Ho Ho Hope you can make it for a really fun time for Middle and High School Students! Sunday evening, Dec. 18 at 5 p.m., we will gather at Oakwood! Pizza to be delivered. Please bring a dessert to share… and a $5 gift for a fun time of giving.    We will be receiving an offering that night for Advent Conspiracy, so be praying about the gift you will bring. And hey, bring a friend!

Here's a note from our Sunday volunteer coordinator, Chris Schmidt..
Hello Parents,
We are loving the Alpha Youth Video series and will continue it on Dec. 11. Here is a link to the user guide, which has information on all of the lessons. This week we will be going over the fifth lesson, "Why and How Do I Pray?" We will be continuing on this series into next year. Let me know if you have questions.
