Word Alive Youth: Parents Need a conversation starter? This Week In Youth...

About Us

In our small groups we are experiencing intimate times of fellowship, while discussing relevant topics for today’s contemporary teens. Our time together is not only impacting our small group but our teens and pre-teens are reaching the community, especially their peers within their sphere of influence. (We break into small groups by gender and grades.) We recently started teaching on the same message that's in our adult services, it has been awesome! If you are in this age group SPREAD THE WORD! This group of teen-agers and pre-teens is in full pursuit of the plans and purposes of God and we want everyone to experience life more abundantly while living in the grace and mercy our Great Creator, our heavenly Father, Almighty God, designed us to live and function in. See you there! SEARCH THE RIGHT SIDE OF THIS BLOG TO SEE WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE WEEKS TO COME FOR WEDNESDAYS AND SUNDAYS IN OUR STUDENT MINISTRY!

Parents Need a conversation starter? This Week In Youth...

Here is an overview of what we’re talking about. Listed below the summary is a “parent cue” to help you dialog with your child about the session.

Use this opportunity to find out what God is teaching your child, and allow your child to see what God is teaching you as well.

NEW FRIEND REQUEST:

Series Overview

We all want friends—even if we don’t want to admit it. We all want someone to hang out with, someone to talk to, someone who knows us. But friendship requires something from us. It’s not just what we get or what makes us feel comfortable or happy. There’s a smart way to do friendship, a way with intention, a way that will draw us closer to God’s heart—if we surround ourselves with the right people. That doesn’t mean our friends have to be clones of us—but it does mean that they at least help us move in the right direction.

Session One: Accept? (Sept 7th 2011)

Having friends is great. Whether you want one, or you already have one, there’s just something about having other people in your life who you can count on. For many, friendships just happen. A new friend is in the right place at the right time. And while friendships may start out randomly, there is an intentionality about who we allow close to us—and that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Because the people who are closest to you have influence on your life. They help shape who you are. So who are the friends closest to you . . . and how are they influencing you?
