Parents Guide to The Trip

Tonight at the Trip was week 3 of Mind Games: Can Science and Religion coexist?. Some say science is all about facts and religion is all about faith. I say that science is the search for truth. Jesus says that He is the truth (John 14:6). I gave the kids all kinds of scientific evidence that back up our faith. Here are some questions that you can ask your kids.

1. How old is the earth?

2.. What are some proofs for a young earth?

3. What happened when men landed on the moon?

4. Tell me about the missing day.

5. What is cool about Niagara Falls?

Video for The Trip

Here is the video I showed at the Trip tonight.

Youth SS Breakfast

It is time again for our monthly youth breakfast.  The middle school classes are hosting this one.  So all you middle school kids need to bring something to eat.  The department will provide the drinks. 

The fun starts at 9:15 in the Youth Department.  We will eat and then our own Jimmy Jordan will be sharing his story with us.  You have seen him play guitar at The Trip, now find out a little more about him.

Open Gym

Open Gym tomorrow 3-5 PM in the CAC.  Come get ready for March Madness.

March Madness

Just put up the rules and sign-up list for March Madness on the student ministry page on the church website.  Download the forms and turn them in by Wednesday, Feb. 25.  

Parents Guide to The Trip

We had week 2 of Mind Games tonight at the Trip.  We talked about how to tell our friends about our faith when they do not believe in the Bible.  I told the students that people can debate the Bible all day, but they cannot debate your testimony.    I shared some reasons that I personally believe in God.  I then gave the students a sheet to fill out telling about their testimony.  Here are some questions that you can ask your kids about the message:

1.  What was your life like before you were a Christian?

2.  How did you give your life to Christ?

3.  What is your life like now that you are a Christian?

4.  How do you personally know that God is real?

Next week in the Trip is week 3 of Mind Games.  It is about Science and God.  Can they coexist?  Hasn't science already disproved God?
