This Sunday - The Kingdom of Heaven
This week we will resume our journey through Scripture with a look at the Kingdom of Heaven. Jesus told parables to describe how precious Heaven is, and how we should be willing to give up all else to gain it. We want our students to know that nothing else has more worth than God's Kingdom.
Take a look at the Daily Discipleship Guide and Family Connection Page.
Wednesday Night Community Resumes
Wednesday night THRIVE programming is back this week! We are kicking off a four-week series talking about what it means to have a biblical worldview. We will be discussing four major questions:
- Who am I?
- Why am I here?
- What's wrong with the world?
- How can what's wrong be made right?
We will be camping out in Colossians 1 for this series, discovering the answers to these questions and why they impact how we see everything on our world.
Nerf War!
Bring your Nerf guns and get ready to battle! We are hosting a Nerf War on Friday, Sept. 18, from 5:30 - 8:30 p.m. Pizza will be provided, so come hungry and invite your friends. No motorized Nerf guns will be used and eye protection will be provided.
High School Life Group
Our high school life group will begin on Oct. 11, from 6 - 8 p.m. We will again be meeting at the Low's house in Delafield. Bring a Bible and friends! Snacks will be provided. This is open to any students in 9th - 12th grade.
Districts 2027
I can't believe it's that time of year again, but Districts is coming up fast! If you're not familiar, Districts is a weekend conference put on by the EFCA Forest Lakes District for all of our youth. It's a powerful weekend of hearing God's Word, worshiping together, and growing in our faith. Check out their website for more information and keep an eye out for registration very soon!
Middle School Fall Retreat - Final Days to Register!
We are taking middle schoolers back to Lake Geneva Youth Camp for Fall Fest Oct. 2 - 4. The deadline to register is Sept. 20, so be sure to sign up your student(s) ASAP!
CIY 2027
CIY (Christ in Youth) hosts a week-long summer conference called MOVE during which students grow closer to God, build relationships with peers and leaders, and experience a week away from home. I am very excited to try and take a group of high school students July 12 - 16, 2027, but I need a verbal commitment this fall as this event sells out quickly. We are looking to attend the week-long camp event that's held at Wheaton University in Wheaton, IL, next July (dates TBD). If your student is seriously interested, please email me so I can reserve your student a spot.
