FAMILY FEUD: A 4-WEEK SERIES ON FAMILY
WEEK 2 BIG IDEA: FORGIVE YOUR FAMILY LIKE GOD FORGIVES YOU

SERIES OVERVIEW:
Every family feuds. Whether the latest feud is about curfews, chores, harsh words, someone's attitude, or someone else's questionable choices, everyone knows what it's like to experience conflict with a family member. Although some families may have more struggles or conflict than others, every family can learn how to fight more fairly. In this 4-week series, you'll challenge students to let their relationship with God transform their relationships with their family members as they seek to be more patient, forgive more often, be more honoring, and show love more freely.

DOWNLOAD THIS WEEK'S SMALL GROUP GUIDE

Do you know a teenager battling anxiety or depression? It can be so difficult to know how to walk alongside them — especially if you're never experienced anxiety or depression yourself. This week, we wanted to share a video that might help you better navigate those situations.
At least once this month, choose a volunteer to celebrate. Add their picture and a few sentences about what makes them awesome!

Question for you. How well do you think our ministry serves the parents of teenagers? Reply to this email and let us know! We'd love to get better.
