Connect 2 out of 4

We had a great time on Wednesday night at our second 7 gathering. In addition to students from Journey North we are also excited to have some other students who have joined us each week! There's plenty of basketball, mushroom ball, crazy videos, and other games.

This week we completed part two of a four part series called Connect 4. In part one we talked about "Connecting to the Savior" (how we set our hearts and minds on things above) and part 2 was "Connecting to Your Self" (about our new identity in Christ as children of God). This coming week is "Connecting Your Stuff" where we'll talk about how materialism. All of this leads to how we "Connecting your Service" where we'll get to the core of how we put "Others First" (...one of our 7 checkpoints! You knew the number 7 would factor in somewhere, didn't you? More on that later.)

Each student received a Connect 4 booklet that they can use to take notes, journal, etc. The booklets also contain some questions for reflection throughout the week. Our hope is that students will make good use of these booklets during the series and then have something to keep as a reminder of what we talked about after the series is over.

Students are encouraged to share of these questions with their family. There's definitely some great dinner table conversation to be had.
