The High School Ministry

Hey Parents,

   This is our new format for our weekly updates.  I hope that you have had a chance to get onto the website and look around.  There are some really cool features to this website and I am very excited about how easy it is to access and update information, pictures, videos, calendars and much, much more.

   This week I want to talk a little bit about the upcoming series and how you can help your student become more committed to reading God's Word!  The series we are beginning this week is entitled, "On The Lot".  If you click on the Sunday AM tab at the top of this page you can get a complete rundown of the series, including a week-by-week look at the Sunday topics.  I love this series because it gives us a practical look at why we should read the bible and how it applies to our everyday life.  We all know that God's Word is important but sometimes it feels like it really doesn't apply to us.  I sometimes read the bible and wonder if it could be any more confusing.  I've had to learn that I need to be committed to reading and re-reading until I understand, at the same time asking God for wisdom and discernment about what I'm reading to better grasp what God has in store for me.  I doubt that I'm alone in this.  Anyway, this will be a great series that I am excited to teach as well as learn from.  I also want to invite you to come into the Ridge at some point to check out the new stage design and props, they are awesome!  I would love your feedback on anything we are doing or have done, the more ideas the better I say!     

   As always please let me know if there is anything at all that you would like to talk to me about, I would love to hear from you!  There are few new events on the calendar so make sure you check it out so you are in the loop!  Have a great weekend and I'll talk to you soon!

In Christ,

Howie
