Youth and Family
As I look outside my office window I see that the leaves are starting to change, kids are walking up and down the street going into the school for practices again, all tell tale signs that school is starting again soon. As you as youth and families prepare to head back to school, Mount Cross offers a word of blessing, support and encouragement.
As the school year kicks off, Wednesday night fellowship dinners begin again on September 8th. This Fall Wednesday Nights will start to undergo some changes. Meal time will still be at 5:30, but come prepared for intentional discussion. There will also be a prayer service following dinner, which will start as a very simple, and will grow and change as the congregation sees fit. This fall there will be High School Bible Study after worship service, for any interested high schoolers, this will replace last year's small groups. In 2011 with the year of the Bible, other Bible Study groups will be starting.
7th-8th graders start confirmation on Wednesday nights starting September 8th. On September 12th, 6th-8th grade youth group will kick off. This time will include food, games, fellowship, Bible Study and worship. All 6th-8th graders are invited, and can always bring a friend. If you are a realational person, and are interested in working with this group, please let Beth know.
There are many other events going on this fall and I encourage you to check out the fall youth news which can be found in the newsletters section of the website. Below are some other important dates to remember.
