During the spring semester, we are continuing to participate in a church-wide emphasis of spiritual practices. This semester we are beginning to learn about outward and corporate practices. Following Current students will have a snack supper in Fellowship Hall and youth choir rehearsal in the youth rehearsal room. Current is led by George Berry, Melanie Gray, Rachel Hoffman & Tyler Hays. The youth choir is directed by David Gulick.

On Wednesday nights students meet for a small group study in the youth lounge.

This is the perfect place for students to cultivate meaningful relationships with their peers and to explore some practical implications of the Christian faith. Groups are led by Toney Fitzgerald & Rachel Hoffman. The study this semester is entitled Emerge: Developing Youth as Fully Devoted Disciples.

Are you curious about what it means to be a Christian? Interested in learning more about the basics of the Christian faith and what it means to be a member of the church? This winter a five week Inquirers class is offered for middle or high school students. The class includes small group discussions about the life of Christ, faith, church membership, baptism, communion and spiritual growth designed to get students thinking about the building blocks of our faith. This class is for students who are considering baptism or who have already been baptized, but would like a “refresher course” in the faith basics. If you are interested in participating in this class please attend the mandatory parent-student meeting on Sunday, January 24 at 12:15 p.m. in the youth area.
