Growing up, we all inevitably go through the "why?" stage, trying to make sense of the daily things that happen around us. We's ask questions like Why does dad go to work? Why can't I touch the hot stove? Why is the sky blue? Why can't I do that? Admit it... you remember those days and you also recall how it drove other people crazy. But this stage of life is often crucial to our basic understandings of why we do what we do and how we go about doing them.
Tomorrow night, we're starting a 5 week series called "Why?" in attempts to unpack why the youth ministry even exists and how we'll go about accomplishing our purposes.

Based on the Greatest Commandment (Matthew 22:37-40) and the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20), "the RCC Student Ministry exists for five simple reasons: to REACH out to teenagers with the love of Christ, CONNECT them with other believers, help them GROW in their faith, EQUIP them for service, and UNLEASH them to lead the next generation to Christ."
Here's the schedule:
Week 1 (January 7): Reaching Out
Week 2 (January 14): Connecting
Week 3 (January 21): Growing
Week 4 (January 28): Equipping
Week 5 (February 4): Unleashing
Join us for the next few weeks as we begin to explore the reason why we're here and the purposes for each of our programs/events! Don't forget, WNL! meets on Wednesday nights at 6:30PM.
