New Series - "Home Improvement"

home_improvement New Source Student ministry series for November! 

Families are not perfect.  Every family is weird in their own way.  Even with all the weirdness happening, there a few things that everyone still has in common.  Each family has disagreements and arguments, and every family struggles to know and understand each other.  We all come from a family with some type of need for improvement.  We need our family, and this series will unpack the need for home improvement.

Week 1 - Honor your Parents The Word: Ephesians 6:1-3, Luke 2:51-52 Main Thought: Honor opens the door to a healthy relationship with parents.

Week 2 - Communicate and Listen The Word: Ephesians 4:24-29, Proverbs 18:13 Main Thought: The relationship is more important than winning the argument. 

Week 3 - Forgive The Word: Ephesians 4:30-5:2, Romans 12:18 Main Thought: Pursue a relationship with your parents no matter what.

Series Roll-In!

Download here if you want the list! 

Our costume awards included: - Best Animal - Most Awkward - Most Creative - Best Group - Best Impersonation - Best Superhero
