GFC Youth Families,

Thank you for taking time to read GFC Youth's Monthly Newsletter. Every publication contains a snapshot of our next month within the youth ministry, as well as an article or two penned by a variety of respected Christian authors that specialize in parenting teens. Some articles may broach more sensitive or controversial subjects. The view of the author may or may not align with my personal viewpoint, and you may or may not agree with everything you read within them. These articles are meant to act as conversation starters between parents, as well as advice from those who have been in the trenches.

Blessings,

Dave Walls

Youth Pastor at Grace Fellowship Church

On Wednesday, October 27 from 6 to 8:00 P.M., we are hosting a live action mystery where students are the detectives, and adult leaders are the suspects. Molowa is missing, and students must find out who the suspect is. Students are encouraged to dress as though they are attending a Hawaiian Luau. Dinner will be provided, and this night is a great opportunity for students to invite their friends.

Wednesday Nights: During the fall months, we will be going through the book of 1 Corinthians. This study will be called, Here & Now. The book of 1 Corinthians was penned by Paul to Christians in Corinth, and he spent much of his energy teaching believers how to live out their faith in an immoral world. We want to implement these same practices as we live out our faith in today's world.

Sunday Mornings: We are continuing in The Jesus Studies. In this study, we are walking through Jesus’ life and teaching in a succession of 4-12 week series. In the month of September in The Jesus Studies, we will begin a study of the miracles Jesus performed in His early Galilean ministry.
