FLYTE: 5th and 6th grade
For the past 10 weeks, we’ve been journeying through FLYTE – a curriculum designed especially for preteen students. As disciplers, it is essential to understanding our students’ culture, struggles, and issues so that we can meet them where they are. In this study we’ve been developing biblical answers to tough circumstances and issues like eating disorders, puberty, sex, bullying, emotions, and most recently familial relationships. What does the bible say about divorce? What is God’s mandate for the family and what does it look like to follow it? This past week our 5th and 6th graders were learning the biblical principles of becoming more Christ-like brothers, sisters, sons, and daughters.

Small Group: 7th-12th grade
We are currently in a series titled “Difference Makers,” which walks students through different social issues, and how students can show God’s love in interactions or conversations about poverty, racism, and same sex marriages.  Last Sunday, our main question was Why should we help the poor?  We talked about how God wants to use us to meet help meet their physical needs and open doors to tell them about Christ.  We discussed how meeting their needs brings joy and is rewarding, but also that it is ministry and most importantly, it honors God.  Ask them about the different ways we talked about how God rewards us when we are obedient to his call to help the poor and serve others.  This question was one of the most rewarding parts of our lesson, and it was so neat to hear them talk about tangible ways they can meet the needs of those around them.

Wednesday Night
Over the past several weeks we have been leading students through a teaching series called, “Magnetic.” Tomorrow night is the last night of the series. We will continue to talk about how we can live a magnetic life attracting people to Jesus. The main passage of scripture we will be using is Act 2:42-47. In verse 47 we see the results of when people are transformed by Christ, “and each day the Lord added to their fellowship those who were being saved.” That is exactly what we want to happen within our church.
