This Week #3-2

This week in OFF ROAD was a little bit different as we had our parent meeting/support group ;) on Saturday night. It was a great time . Please try to make it to the next meetings we have as they are important to both know what is going on, build community and share parenting advice/ experience.

On Sunday we continued our series “Loneliness is not a word in God’s dictionary,” looking more specifically at what we can count on in our small groups. It is our goal in OFF ROAD to provide 4 things in every small group- Meaningful-God centered conversations, Accountability, Prayer and Scripture (MAPS) Each one of these aspects is crucial to the Christian journey. As we so often discuss worldly things we tend to put God in the back of our minds, only to be discussed at church. We want that type of discussion happening more often and that is why it is encouraged in small groups. TO be accountable to someone else that can encourage you to do the right thing and help you through the tough times is so needed and we want to model and encourage students to have an active daily conversation with God through prayer and scripture reading.

Please make sure that your child sings up for a small group. The kickoff is this Wednesday (EVERYONE IS MEETING AT THE CHURCH THIS WEEK) from 6:45- 8:15.

Questions to discuss:
Why is it important to have a group of Christian friends?
Why is it important to have you main group of friends be believers?
How can we pray so that it is more of a conversation than a “talking at” God?
How can we help you be more involved in reading the bible?
