We’re just a few hours out from our Winter Retreat at Stony Glen – it’s going to be great. We’re meeting at the church at 5:30 pm, and returning Sunday, 7:30 pm. Click here for the packing list, times, more info.
Please remember to dress for the weather. While all of our cabins and buildings are heated, and there will be several fireplaces to warm up around, it’s going to be cold. Weather permitting, we still plan to have several outside activities. Everyone should have warm pants, coats, boots, hats, gloves, etc. We will keep a vigilant eye on both the conditions and the students.
IN THE WORD THIS WEEK: 
Unlock the Truth – Understanding the Bible: This quarter we’re examining healthy Bible study habits. We’re looking into the validity of Scripture, and learning the benefits and blessings of making it a part of our daily lives. This past Sunday we studied the Holy Spirit’s work in illuminating Scripture.
Wednesday Youth Group: We’re continuing our study of the Holy Spirit. In the series, In Concert, we’re examining the spiritual gifts that the Holy Spirit gives to every believer. Students are encouraged to take this Spiritual Gift Assessment this week, in preparation for next Wednesday.
For Discussion:
- Why does God give believers spiritual gifts?
- What do you think your spiritual gift might be?
- How can knowing your spiritual gift help you serve God more effectively?
