Student Ministry Update
It’s been a week. Middle schoolers, high schoolers – we SEE you. This has been a heavy week for a lot of our students, and Youth Group on Friday is going to be a safe, low-pressure space to breathe, laugh, and talk about real stuff. We'll have food, we'll have some genuinely terrible icebreaker games, and we'll have real conversation. Want to talk to someone before we meet? We’re here. This months topic is "Being Ambassadors For Christ” Representing Jesus in a World That Needs Him ✝️ 🌎 Series Theme: We are called to represent Jesus Christ in our everyday lives. Our words, actions, attitudes, and love should point others toward Him. Being an ambassador for Christ means carrying His message of reconciliation to a world that needs the hope of the Gospel. Key Verse for the Series: 2 Corinthians 5:20 (KJV) “Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.” Series Goal: To help believers understand what it means to be ambassadors for Christ, share the Gospel confidently, live out their faith, and become a positive influence for Jesus in their homes, churches, workplaces, and communities. If you could represent any organization, team, or person in the world, who would you choose and why? What would you want people to know about the person or organization you represent?
