OSM in August ‘11
Sunday School, every Sunday 9:30-10:30
We have co-ed classes for both Middle and High school students. These classes meet in the Christian Life Center and are led by a great group of adult volunteers who love investing in the lives of your students.
242 Small Groups
“The believers studied what the apostles taught. They shared life together. They broke bread and ate together. And they prayed.” Acts 2:42
Small Groups are designed so that students and their leaders have time to engage in deeper matters of life and faith.
We’ll kick off our Fall Programming with our annual Bethlehem Center Fish Fry on August 10th.
Regular dinners and Small Groups will begin meeting on August 17.
Dinner begins at 5:30 and classes begin at 6:30
For the Fall Semester, several classes will be exploring The Five Love Languages, as discussed by pastor and author, Dr. Gary Chapman. Our Middle & High School classes will be using this study.
Through our study we will investigate each Love Language, as they apply to teens, discover your personal love language(s) and find practical ways to share with others, based on these principles.
The Mix
(6th-12th grade students)
Sunday nights 5:30-7:30
(Dinner begins at 5:30)
Meeting on:
August 7, 14, 21 & 28
Just Enough
By now you’ve probably heard some of the stories from our recent mission trip to Sneedville, TN. You’ve probably heard that most of our team became quite ill during our stay. While that was really a low point for the trip, don’t think that our story ends there. God was the provider of Just Enough throughout the entire trip. Even through some severe illness, He provided ‘just enough’ workers each day to complete the projects we had accepted. Several times during our stay, we saw how He provided ‘just enough’ food for those who came to accept the mid-day meal offered at the Center.
God is good, all the time.
Stay tuned. We’ll have much more to share with our church family soon.
We also have a few challenges to lift before you!
VBS 2011!!
