VSM Fall Retreat: Register Today
Our theme this year is Fearless, and we will be talking about how our faith enables us to overcome fear and insecurity. In addition to participating in meaningful worship and small group times, students will have some awesome recreation options, enjoy time around the bonfire eating smores, and make some lifelong memories.
The cost for the weekend is $85. You can register today by simply clicking the button below!
What We're Teaching: Life Groups
I want to let you know that we’ve started Proof, the 6-lesson study from the Book of John that teaches about Jesus’ identity through John’s eyes. The first lesson was great! It laid the foundation for the proof of the person of Jesus.
The first lesson was entitled “No Ordinary Guy” and focused on John 1:1-14. The point of the lesson was that students would see Jesus for who He really is and begin to grasp how incredible it is that they get to have a relationship with Him.
Next Steps . . .
As you go through your week with your child, look for instances to create some dialogue based on the theme of this lesson. Consider discussing the following questions or concepts:
· Ask: Do you remember why John referred to Jesus as the “Word”? Does this have any impact on your life today?
· Discuss with your child what he or she thinks it means to be a child of God. How does this speak to the nature of our relationship with God?
· If you get the chance, read John 1:14 with your child. Discuss how it makes you feel that the “Word” became one of us.
Pray that God will move your child and our student ministry to see Jesus as “God with us.” Pray that we will begin to understand the amazing truth that Jesus came to earth to make us children of God.
