Group Nite I

Tonight we'll start off a new type of night for us called Group Nite. Every other week we'll meet at our regular time (5:43-7:15pm) but after playing some games we'll break into smaller groups and go through Bible Studies together!

We'll start by breaking into these groups: 6-7th grade girls, 8th grade girls and all guys. If groups get too large (we hope we have this "problem"!) we'll consider breaking them down even more.

Our first series is on Identity and tonight we'll cover who we are. We'll talk about the different pressures students feel to act a certain way to certain groups they are around and what it would look like if we simply were who God wants us to be to all of them instead.

For Parents -

If you'd like to discuss this lesson with your student, here are some questions to consider asking:

1. We talked about the different "hats" we wear in life. What are some hats they see themselves as wearing? What are some hats you as a parent/adult wear?
2. We encourage them to see that God wants us to wear one hat everywhere we go - a follower of Jesus. What might it mean to wear that "hat" every day? How would life look different?
