J.U.L.I.E.T.s

  

   We are a group open to all ages of women who want to go out to eat, go to a movie or concert, see an exhibit at the DIA or get together to learn from one another. There is no registration, no attendance requirements. If an activity sounds like something you would like to do, join in the fun. The possibilities are endless. We have a JULIETs board that is planning the activities for this year. See names below. Do you have a great idea? Give any one of them a call.

   We are committed to provide rides for those who would like a ride and we strongly encourage car-pooling.

   Check out the first 2 activities:

1. On Sunday, October 19, meet at MJR Southgate at 2:30 to see the movie "The Judge". Go out to dinner afterwards. Sign up at the Crossroads if you would like a ride. Otherwise just show up at the theater.

2. On Sunday, December 7, we will go to the Theater on the Avenue in Wyandotte to attend the "3 Men and a Tenor Christmas Concert". Tickets are $20. Make your paid reservation at the Crossroads. They expect to sell out so buy your ticket early.

SENIOR HIGHS

 

 

Coffee House 9:15-9:30am
This year we are trying something new! We'd like to invite
both our Sr. Highs and Middlers to come each Sunday morning to our Coffee House, a time for coffee, tea, donuts, and just catching up with each other about what all has happened in the past week. Come on out for some sweet treats and caffeine!
 Education Hour 9:30-10:20am
 Sunday mornings we meet in the Senior High Lounge. During this time we explore ways to grow in our relationship with
God, learn more about the life, death and resurrection of
Jesus and discuss how our faith impacts the way in which we interact with the world around us. Our time of study is
relevant and real! We hope you will consider joining us.
 Mission
 Mission is an important part of growing in our relationships
with Jesus Christ. Youth have opportunities to share God's
love by volunteering in places such as local soup kitchens,
retirement homes and food pantries. This summer, we are an embarking on a week-long mission trip that will stretch our
understanding of how God works in the world. We will immerse ourselves in a new culture to witness and experience the love of Christ.
 Fellowship
 We believe having a relationship with Jesus Christ means
having fun! Throughout the school year activities like games, movies, concerts and lock-ins and retreats will be scheduled.

"Christianity's Family Tree" 

   Some of them are very mainstream - Lutheranism, Catholicism, Baptists and, of course, Presbyterianism. Some are a bit less familiar: Pentecostalism, for example, and Orthodoxy. Hamilton shows us there's more than one style to Christianity and explains why the diversity of the many parts strengthens the whole. 

   Each of the next 8 Sunday mornings will be given to one denomination. If you have to miss a week, you can learn about another Christian faith the next week. Books will be available for order in class for $12.  

   "Christianity's Family Tree" is an excellent way to get an overview of what makes some of our Christian relations different from us and what makes them alike. Most of all, it reminds us we're all part of the same family.

   See you in class!
