Tonight we're continuing our Group Nite series about Identity. 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 this Bible Study together! Two weeks ago we talked about what it meant to find our identity through Jesus Christ and that a friendship with Him is the only "hat" God wants us to wear because it should affect every part of our lives. Today we're going to be looking at three things God wants us to avoid to help us lead a better life. Those choices are: Don't let other people's opinions define you, don't focus on just yourself, and don't focus on other people's appearances.
After our welcome and a few games, we'll break into these groups: 6-7th grade girls, 8th grade girls and all guys. We'll start in the Sanctuary but to help High School set up for their Lip Sync night, we'll end in room 101 in the Education Building.
For Parents -
If you'd like to discuss this lesson with your student, here are some questions to consider asking:
- Why does the Bible say that trying to win people's approval can create problems?
- What are some of the signs of a person who lives selfishly? What are some of the signs of a person who lives selflessly?
- Think about the last time you were judged or evaluated based on how you looked or dressed or acted. How did you feel? What did you learn from this experience?
We are still accepting registration for our Fall Retreat to Camp of the Cascades later this month (Oct. 21-23). Registration can be picked up at church or downloaded from our website (hccfuel.com). Scholarships are also always available.
We are also going to have registration for our summer mission trip to Yakima ("The Yak") available next month so please keep your eyes out for it! Our first fund raiser will be the first two weeks of November selling Poinsettias so start thinking about family, neighbors, and businesses that might buy them!
