Week Two (June 4)

This second week, students will be challenged to look at God in new ways. Many times we find that we are so familiar with “churchy” descriptions of God that we forget who He really is. And when we forget who God is, how awesome and surprising He can be, then we are tempted to turn our attention and affection to other things and our lives fall out of tune. In week two students will be challenged to discover a God who is bigger than our attempts to define Him.

Feel free to join your students in this study by checking out this week’s parent devotional by clicking here. 

We are in need of possibly 4 additional host homes for Forward 08 (July 10-12).  Students would come to your home around 11pm on Thursday the 10th, staying each night until Sunday morning.  Host homes are asked to be responsible for breakfast Friday and Saturday mornings only.  We will have breakfast at the church on Sunday morning the 13th.  Please post a comment if you are interested or email Pastor Bronson at bronson_crawford@bellsouth.net.

Have you ever noticed how connected everything is? It’s almost as if there was some type of unseen structure to all of life, a rhythm. Many of us are oblivious to it until things are out of sync. We know something is wrong, and we can maybe pinpoint a few things around us that are culprits, but deep down we know there is something more going on. We out of rhythm—with God, with ourselves or with others.

Week One (May28)  The first week of the Rhythm series is designed to help students understand that in the beginning, God established a rhythm. They will unpack the story of creation and the harmony that existed between Adam and God, Adam and nature, and Adam and Eve. They will entertain the idea that from the start, everything worked together in perfect harmony like a beautiful song. But then Adam and Eve made a choice that destroyed the song and threw the rhythm off. They will also look at God’s response to Adam’s sin, and they’ll see that God continues to seek relationship with us even after things have fallen apart.
