...so the next generation
would know them,
even the children yet to be born,
and they in turn would
tell their children.
Then they would put their trust in God
and would not forget his deeds
but would keep his commands.
--Psalm

SUMMER 2008
Check the Watershed Youth website for a current schedule.
FALL 2008
This semester WaterShed Youth will be going through the “Minor Prophets” on Wednesday Nights (6-7:30) and Sunday Mornings (9:15-10:30). On Wednesday Nights we break up into small groups divided by grade and gender to explore what the Bible says and also how it is relevant to each student’s life. Sunday mornings are broken down between high school students in one room and middle school students in another and includes time for hanging out, community, musical worship, and a short talk.
Also on tap this semester are things like a Middle School Bash (October 18th), SuperHero Party (October 29) and several service/mission days that we are currently planning.
To start out the year, we are having a ShedInfo Meeting Sunday, August 24 from 9:15-10:30. Parents and students are invited to attend.
Your teen will find their own place in Grace's Youth Ministry. Watershed is a community of students and adults who are growing in their love for Jesus and each other, for His Gospel and His church.
The desire of the Student Ministry is to develop a ministry that empowers students to grow in relationship with Jesus Christ through the gospel of grace, which will overflow with love for others — family, friends and beyond. Our "Come-Grow-Send" strategy seeks to disciple believers, draw seekers and pursue wanderers, and sensitively reach those wanting to know more about Christ.
Gospel growth is gardening, and gardening is messy...dirt, bugs,
weeds, sun, rain, more dirt. Being a teen and youth ministry is
also messy: hormones, failure, passion, discovery, struggle and
more hormones. Sowing the gospel into the hearts of students and
their families takes energy, purpose, and organization. The result
of God's work in the hearts of students is healthy growth, that
is, "fruit that lasts" (John
15:16). The student ministry at Grace is primarily driven by
enabling young men and women to come to Christ and grow in Him.
This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit,
showing yourselves to be my disciples.
John
15
