Thinking Theologically

Each topical study in the Thinking Theologically series teaches teens how to apply biblical principles to real world situations.  Teens are naturally inclined to question everything! This curriculum is designed to channel that tendency into investigative reasoning, equipping them for life by training them how to think instead of telling them what to think. 

Facilitated by Seana Towler, Judy Holmgreen and Pastor Larry

Meets @ 9AM in the Youth Room – Chapel Building

YOUTH HAPPENINGS!

Overall, the kids seemed pleased with the direction of the coffeehouse. Most said it was living up to their expectations. When asked what improvements were needed, one said, "It's really hot when it's hot outside." Translation--"We need another air conditioner." They were glad to hear that will be coming just as soon as we get a few more electrical outlets. Larry tells us the new bar, complete with work space and storage, should be arriving soon.

Interesting to the adults was the comment that they'd like a little more depth to their discussion time. We've been waiting for the group to get settled and be ready for something just like that. The kids kicked around a couple of ideas and said that they'd like to hear some Bible stories and discuss their relevance today. A new question box format will also be implemented. One of the kids proposed calling that time "Green Light" because green means go.

Translation, "We can talk about anything and everyone's ideas are valued." One newcomer to the CrossBar talked about what a great set-up we had and how great the conversation had been. He said, "I haven't had anything like this in a long time!" Translation--"We're meeting a need." AMEN!
