SERIES OVERVIEW:

Christmas is one of those holidays that feels timeless. The traditions, music, and made-for-TV movies not only connect us, but also the other parts of our lives. It's a season that invites us to be nostalgic and think about memories from Christmases past. In this 4-week series from the Gospels, we'll take a look at the Christmas story to see how something we may have heard long ago can still help us grow today. As we reflect on these classic stories, we'll remember how Christmas reminds us Jesus is our Savior and that God can be trusted, to rely on each other, and to trust that God is with us.

TIP OF THE MONTH

Quick, without thinking, what’s the first thing that comes to mind when I say the word, “Generosity?” If your mind went immediately to money, you would be in the majority. We all recognize the value of being generous with our money and resources for the good of those around us and that’s a great practice to cultivate. But how can we teach teenagers about generosity when they don’t have much to give, financially? We should model financial generosity for the next generation, but how can we also model generosity in a way that teenagers can see, know it matters, and get involved?

Generosity (It's Not Just About Money)

RESOURCE OF THE MONTH

If your teenager is looking to engage with the Bible and does so best through creative expression and meditation, this is the perfect place to start. The NIV Beautiful Word Bible will allow you to write, color, and draw in the margins as a way of reflection while reading God's Words.
