Youth Ministry Connection
Zion Lutheran Church 6th-8th Grade
May 2023
May is here and the end of the year is in sight. Sometimes it looks really close and sometimes it looks too far away. And sometimes, anything good may seem like that sometimes. Maybe you're waiting for a break or to feel at peace again or for your life to make sense again. And what can we do while we wait?
“I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in his word I hope; my soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen for the morning, more than watchmen for the morning.” (Psalm 130:5-6)
While we wait, we can have hope. Hope in what? Hope in His Word. Trust in that incredible Word of His. When we're down to nothing, God is up to something. Let's look forward and hope in Him.
And as we look ahead, we can look forward to exciting things happening in Youth Ministry!
May your May come with blessings, hope, and trust in His Word,
Laura-Li
Connection Hour
We will continue into a new series called "Heroes" where we will look at different superheroes in Marvel/DC and in Scripture and how they can apply to our own faith journey.
And then we will finish the last two Sundays before our summer break with a series called "Different" (that we will also be doing with the Senior High during Wednesday Night LIFE Group) and a missions Sunday.
We meet in the Spanish Room at 9:30 a.m. on Sundays.
