Middle School: Stewardship of Our Neighbors
May 17 4:30-6 pm (Regular meeting time)
Jesus says to love our neighbors as ourselves. Who are our neighbors? What can we do to make sense of our differences?
We're going to take a look at differences we know about but may not always discuss.
We're doing this because it's easier to love our neighbors if we learn about them, particularly those who seem different from us. Here are some resources to help you to learn, and to think about your own beliefs
So, come to our meeting prepared to walk in a different pair of shoes.

Steep Your Soul: Meet Chris
As soon as I saw this video, I thought about assumptions some people have about what it means to have a disability. Whoa, it's worth a watch.

May 31 Stewardship of...Bowling?
4:00-6:00 pm **** Note the different time!
Yes, you heard correctly. We are taking our stewardship lessons on the road. What does it mean to care for our neighbor outside of our youth group meeting space? For example, in a bowling alley? We'll play a few frames and think about some of the things we talked about during our May 17 meeting. Plus, being good Presbyterians, we'll have some snacks too. In order to join us, you'll need to have a completed permission slip on file in the office. At the bottom of the home page of this website, you'll find a link that will enable you to download the form. Download it, fill it out, send or bring it into church with you. |
