Back To The Future Volunteer Email Week 1

We’ve got a brand new series starting this week! Can’t wait to dive into this conversation with you and our students.

Here are a few things coming up in our ministry . . .

ADD YOUR OWN DATES: PARENT EVENT
This month, we’re hosting an event for teenage girls and the dads (or father figures) who love them. We’d love to see you there!

ADD YOUR OWN DATES: END-OF-THE-YEAR PARTY
Let’s celebrate the end of an incredible school year with a little fun, food, and friends! Come hang with us. There will be games, presents, and a pretty incredible recap of the year of ministry we’ve had together.

BACK TO THE FUTURE: A 4-WEEK SERIES ON JUSTICE
WEEK 1 BIG IDEA: Jesus’ mission was to set people free.

SERIES OVERVIEW:

Whether it’s to stop yourself from saying something stupid, or see where you’ll be in 10 years, or experience your favorite moment in history firsthand, we all wish we had a time machine sometimes, right? While time machines might not actually exist, the Bible can sometimes feel a little bit like a time machine. It’s the story of the God who exists outside of time and had a plan to save the world before time even existed. God’s plan was fulfilled through Jesus 2,000 years ago, but prophets like Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Amos left us hints about God’s plan hundreds of years before that. So what was that plan? In this 4-week series, we’ll discover that Jesus’ mission was to set people free and rebuild what has been destroyed — and we can join Him on that mission, in part, by doing justice and remembering all God has done.

What does God have to say about justice? We’re glad you asked, because many teenagers are asking this question! Here are a few ideas to help them find the answer: 1) Point out injustices in the news or our community. 2) Ask for their perspective. 3) Point out wrongs that are being made right. 4) Do something together to make the world more just.

At least once this month, choose a volunteer to celebrate. Add their picture and a few sentences about what makes them awesome!

We consider our volunteer leaders to be the best link we have between our church and your family. So here’s a question: How often did you hear from your teenager’s leader this school year? Hit Reply and let us know!
