This coming weekend, August 16th, you will be able to sign up to be in a Life Group. This is a very important step in your spiritual journey!
Our goal is to create environments where students begin to "See and God sees, and Love as God loves." We do this through helping you build purposeful relationships, experience God for themselves and engage in opportunities to be actively involved in the cause of Christ by serving others. Each week at The Spark or 4ORTY 2WO, you will experience fun games, great food, rocking worship, a challenging talk, and most importantly a meaningful connection in a Life Group with other students your age and caring adult leaders.
Life Group is the environment where students can connect with other peers and a caring adult in our to process what God is doing in their lives and what they are learning. Our program is changing so that Life Groups will no longer be on Wednesday evenings, but will now be an integrated part of your Sunday experience. This is to ease the schedule of your family, as well as enable leaders to have more time to focus on the students in their group, hopefully creating an even better environment for life change!
To get the most out of this environment, in it more important than ever for you to consistently attend the same service, every week. So, for example, if you typically come to the 9:00am service, at The Spark you would be placed in a Life Group with students in the same grade and gender as you. If one week you attend the 10:30am service, you will not be able to be in a Life Group, instead you would have to participate in the "On Deck" group. There is only one service time for 4ORTY 2WO.
With that in mind, we hope that over the next few days, you will discuss with your your parents the goal of Life Groups as discussed above, and express your desire to sign up for a group. Then, you can sign up this weekend and following weekends at The Spark or 4ORTY 2WO, or you can sign up at the Habit Shack in The Student Zone during any of our weekend services. We hope to have sign ups available online as well in the very near future. Look for more information regarding that on this website.
Looking forward to having you connect with other students by getting involved in Life Groups this year!!
