Here's what's happening with Riverside Youth the week of February 23rd:
Tuesdays - Panera (2:30-4:00pm) - I will be at Panera this week (2/24) and next week (3/3)
Sunday School (9:00-19:15am) - Kathy Stauffer will be starting a new teaching series that will take us through the season of Lent preparing us for Palm Sunday, Holy Week and Easter! The series, called Shook, looks at all of the different people groups that were deeply affected by Jesus' ministry, His death and ultimately, His resurrection. Breakfast will be provided.
The Current (5:00-7:00pm) - This past Sunday, we finished up our study called “Strange Things.” We also had a great discussion about how the hurts we face do not have to define us. Rather, they can mold and shape us when we seek God, and he reveals the full story of his will for our lives.
As we have entered into the Season of Lent, we will start a series this Sunday that focuses on what we let go of for the sake of Jesus. We will talk about Spiritual acts like fasting and prayer and where they fit in our lives. We will also have a time of worship and close the night out with Game Time! Dinner will be provided.
