Emily's Message
Do you love being right? We all do. But the truth is we get tired, and stressed and our behavior takes a turn from being right to being wrong. What then? As teens and parents, why is it so hard to apologize? Read more.
Making God's Love Real
I was at school, sitting on a bench, minding my own business, and I saw one of my friends approach someone and try to cheer them up. This was very awesome to see, because people at my school are not usually this kind to one another. When anyone does something nice, friendly, or good to someone, it creates a chain reaction!

A lot has gone on in the world in the past week. The tragedies that have occurred have left the world awestruck and traumatized and left people questioning; who could do such a thing? We need to put our trust in God that he will bring justice to even the darkest of situations.

Sundays
Sunday Morning
We believe that the best way to create "sticky faith" is by having youth involved in congregational worship and serving in church. We encourage both of these for our students. If not attending worship, students can serve in various ways during the hour they are on campus. If you would like to get your student plugged into serving around campus with Children's Ministries, Open Arms, the Tech Team, ushering or greeting, please contact Emily.
No Merge on Sunday 
We hope you and your family are able to serve in a time slot at Metropolitan Ministries. Sign up here. Learn more.
Wednesdays
Middle School Bible Study, 6:30-8 p.m.
Dinner starts at 5:15 p.m. in HAC ($8/person). This semester's Active Bible Studies will take us deeper into our understanding of Scriptural truth with hands-on experiences. From creating art to prayer stations, the activities will keep you on your toes each week. We look forward to seeing you there!
