"i-Life" Week One Recap

Here is week one's recap from our new series "i-Life"

Some Questions to Think About...

(1) Why should we talk about relationships and
why are there "rules" to them?

(2) Why are relationships sometimes so difficult?

(3) Can you think of a relationship with someone
that didn't go so well? What went wrong?
How did you react to it?


(4) What does God desire for us in our relationships
with others? What's the deal with the phrase
"relationship with God"? What does that mean?


See you next week for Rule #1: Forgiveness

Jr. & Sr. High Teaching Series

How are your relationships? Whether it would be with our parents, brothers and sisters, friends at school and church, wherever and whatever, we all have relationships with others. The tough thing is that they seem harder than what they should be, sometimes leading us down the wrong path or breaking us down. Relationships can just be downright messy and painful at times.

What does God think about relationships, anyway? And why does He command us to love others - even our enemies - when it's just so dang hard? How can we find better relationships with others that doesn't lead to hurt?

Join us these next few weeks as we start a new series called
"i-Life: 5 Relationship Rules to Living Life to the Fullest"
and discover how God intended us to do life with one another.

Youth Ministry Reminders...

Here are a few things going on in the youth ministry
at Ridgeland Community Church:

(1) There is a Good Friday Service this Friday, April 10th. This is a church-wide event held at Word of Life Church on Pinnacle Road at 7PM.

(2) There is no Sunday AM class this Sunday, April 12th, for both jr. and sr. high students.

(3) There is no Sr. High Night this Sunday, April 12th OR next Sunday, April 19th due to Easter and Spring Break.

(4) WNL! will be meeting tonight, April 8th, and next Wednesday, April 15th. There is no WNL! on Wednesday, April 22nd.

Lastly, I recently challenged our students to be reading Mark 11 - 16 throughout this week to get a glimpse of Jesus' journey to the Cross. The Gospel writers give much of their account to just this week of His life and its importance can never be overstated. I encourage you as well to journey through the biblical accounts of Holy Week as we prepare to remember and celebrate the work of Christ in our lives.

Have a great week!
