FAMILIA: A 4-WEEK SERIES FROM THE EPISTLES ON FAMILY
WEEK 1 BIG IDEA: In God’s family we support each other.

SERIES OVERVIEW:

“Family” is a concept understood all over the world, in every country, culture, and language, but no two families are the same. We all have our unique family structures, quirks, traditions, values, problems, and dysfunctions. It’s not always easy to love our families (or even like them sometimes), but the Bible is full of guidance on how to love each other well — we just have to be willing to apply that at home. In this 4-week series, we’ll take a look at some of the lessons learned by Jesus-followers in the early days of the church, because learning how to be part of God’s family might help us learn how to be part of our own families. In God’s family, we support each other, pray for each other, reconcile with each other, and love each other.

You wear a lot of hats as a leader in this ministry. Over the course of this year you’ve probably been a driver, chaperone, friend, ice-cream scooper, small group leader, and campfire starter. You do a lot of fun, unique, and cool things in our ministry – but you mean so much more to this ministry than just the long list of tasks that you accomplish! You are so much more than a chaperone and we love doing ministry with you, so much!
